How to set a long click listener on a MenuItem (on a NavigationView)?

Question

How can I set a long click listener on a MenuItem?

I tried this answer, but the method doesn\'t exist for me. Any solutions?

Code:

From massivemadness answer here is a slight variation to target a menu. I also don't think this is stable, it feels like a bodge but nest it in a try catch, keep calm and move on :)

if(navigationAdapter != null) {
            navigationRecycler.post { // this line is important
                for(index in 0 until navigationAdapter.itemCount) {
                    val item = navigationLayoutManager.findViewByPosition(index)
                    item?.setOnLongClickListener {
                        try{
                            Toast.makeText(this, "${nav_view.menu[index - 1 /*Number of children before your menu*/].title}!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
                            true
                        } catch (e:Throwable){
                            false
                        }


                    }
                }
            }
        }
