Answer 1

As mentioned in the bug 190226, Since version 23.1.0 getting header layout view with: navigationView.findViewById(R.id.navigation_header_text) no longer works.

A workaround is to inflate the headerview programatically and find view by ID from the inflated header view.

For example:

View headerView = navigationView.inflateHeaderView(R.layout.navigation_header);
headerView.findViewById(R.id.navigation_header_text);

Ideally there should be a method getHeaderView() but it has already been proposed, let's see and wait for it to be released in the feature release of design support library.
