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

To uncheck it inside NavigationItemSelectedListener I had to use post (to UI thread):

App.getHandler().post(() -> menuItem.setChecked(false));

Full example:

 NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
        navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(
                menuItem -> {
                    menuItem.setChecked(true);

                    mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();

                    switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
                        ...
                    }

                    App.getHandler().post(() -> menuItem.setChecked(false));

                    return true;
                });

p.s. in my case App.getHandler() returns Handler instance for UI Thread Lopper
