How to uncheck checked items in Navigation View?

Question

I know it\'s possible to highlight a navigation view item by calling setCheckedItem() or return true value in onNavigationItemSelected to display t

Answer 1

I guess someone like me use those methods just like this

public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.nav_today:
            break;
        case R.id.nav_calendar:
           navigationView.getMenu().performIdentifierAction(R.id.nav_today, 0);
           navigationView.getMenu().getItem(0).setChecked(true);//or
           navigationView.setCheckedItem(R.id.nav_today);//or
           drawerLayout.closeDrawers();
           break;
    }
    return true;
}

Trying to check R.id.nav_today after you clicked on R.id.nav_calendar, (btw: checkableBehavior="single"), unfortunately it will not work.

That is because after your code navigationView.setCheckedItem(R.id.nav_today) be called then the R.id.nav_today will be checked immediately, but after this, your click on R.id.nav_calendar will check itself.

That is why whatever methods you use seem never work at all. It is work, but be override immediately.
