Nav Drawer with Navigation Items and normal Items

I have a Nav Drawer with a few items that I use with the new Navigation Architecture Component to navigate to different fragments. Now I have one item that should trigger an action (no navigation) but since the NavigationUI is already using the NavigationItemSelectedListener I can't add a second one.

NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(navView, findNavController(navHostFragment))

How can I handle the click of items that dont "navigate".

This seems to work without breaking the navigation:

navView.menu[3].setOnMenuItemClickListener

If you want to add an item with action but without layout, you can add your item to activity_main_drawer.xml file as below.

     <item android:id="@+id/nav_test"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_test"
            android:title="Test" />

and in MainActivity.kt you can find item based on its id and set clickListener

 navView.menu.findItem(R.id.nav_test).setOnMenuItemClickListener {
            Log.d("MainActivity", "nav test clicked")
            return@setOnMenuItemClickListener true
        }

PS: Do not need to add the action/layout or item to mobile_navigation.xml file.

Happy coding :)

I have same problem. I use navigationView.menu.getItem(3).setOnMenuItemClickListener or navigationView.menu.findItem(R.id.action_delete_and_load).setOnMenuItemClickListener

You don't puted your code here, for this, I presume that you have an implementation of NavigationItemSelectedListener on your Activity. If yes, try pass the listener on your navView as follow:

instead it:

    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);

try it:

    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
            //use just itens that "navigate"
            return false;
        }
    });

Try update your ask with some code
