remove or hide header navigationView in android

Question

i am using design 23.1.1 in my project. i want drawer without header. just menu items are enough. i dont add any header view(programmatically or in XML). but in drawer i have empty header. please help me how to remove this empty header.

 <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigation_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        app:menu="@menu/drawer"
      />

Answer 1

  View headerView= LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.drawer_header, null);
        navigationView.addHeaderView(headerView);
navigationView.getHeaderView(0).setVisibility(View.GONE);

i use dummy layout. and solved my problem but i think it is ridiculous.

Answer 2

If You want to remove header:

navigationView.removeHeaderView(navigationView.getHeaderView(0));

Of cource if You have more haeders You have to do this in some loop to remove them all. 0 is index of the first one.

Answer 3

try to add this to your style file <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>

and remove app:headerLayout from navigationView xml.

and add this to your navigationView xml :

android:layout_marginTop ="@dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height_material"

it worked perfect for me.

To remove it permanently:

The Layout that contains the NavigationView widget is like this:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
    android:id="@+id/nav_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
    app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer"/>

Just remove the app:headerLayout line from it:

    app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
