Answer 1

thanks for the response, i just search little and i found the answer there is no any style changes, i just change in JAVA file like and it's done.

NavigationView navigation_view = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation_view);
    navigation_view.setItemTextColor(ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.BLACK));
    navigation_view.setItemIconTintList(null);

NavigationView uses the color of Widget.Design.NavigationView theme. You can override that theme like following.

Create your own style which overridesWidget.Design.NavigationView in your style.xml:

<style name="NavigationStyle" parent="Widget.Design.NavigationView">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/white</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/white</item>
</style>

Use that theme in your layout xml file:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        ...
        android:theme="@style/NavigationStyle"
        ... />
