Fixed navigation header in navigation drawer while scrolling through items

Question

CURRENT STATE: NavigationDrawer with a NavigationHeader and NavigationMenu items. The items are large in number so scrolling is required in order to access

Answer 1

Found a workaround. Definitely not the most efficient one. Please suggest if anything could be done from here.

  android:id="@+id/nav_view"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:layout_gravity="start"
  android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
  android:background="#00000000"
  app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
  app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer">

 

Definitely works. But the header layout is redundant
