How to add checkbox to material navigation drawer?

Question

I use Menu items Icon Menu but I want to add checkbox to all menu item. This is my drawer_menu.xml

Answer 1

With app:actionLayout you can make miracles happen.

Here's an example achieving custom widgets in drawer without any Java code:

menu/widgets.xml

All the layouts (each is a single file)

Connecting with code

You can access it just like any other menu:

// 
NavigationView nav = (NavigationView)findViewById(R.id.navigation_view);
MenuItem switchItem = nav.getMenu().findItem(R.id.switch);
CompoundButton switchView = (CompoundButton)MenuItemCompat.getActionView(switchItem);
switchView.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
    @Override public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) { }
});
