<layout_gravity="start"> doesn't work on NavigationView?

I'm trying to make a Navigation Drawer, and inside the NavigationView I've added the layout_gravity="start" attribute, but it wont hide the View. this is my code:

<RelativeLayout  ... >

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        app:menu="@menu/navigation_menu"></android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>

</RelativeLayout>

What could be wrong? Thanks.

I hope this works for you because layout_gravity cannot be used inside Relativelayout.

<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>
    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        app:menu="@menu/navigation_menu"></android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>

</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>

If you intend for the NavigationView to behave as a drawer, then the root View should be <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>, instead of <RelativeLayout>
