How to position menu items in Navigation View?

Question

My question is related to recently released Navigation View from Design Support Library.

I want to position Log In at the bottom of the Navigation View, how I can do this? My menu XML right now, look like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <group android:checkableBehavior="single">
        <item
            android:id="@+id/navigation_sub_item_1"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_event"
            android:title="@string/home" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/navigation_sub_item_2"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_person"
            android:title="@string/profile" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/navigation_sub_item_3"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_labels"
            android:title="@string/tags" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/navigation_sub_item_4"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_settings"
            android:title="@string/log_in" />
    </group>

</menu>

Here is my layout :

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        android:background="@color/white_1000">

        <include
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            layout="@layout/toolbar" />

        <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
            android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_below="@id/toolbar">

            <FrameLayout
                android:id="@+id/content_frame"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

            <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
                android:id="@+id/main_drawer"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_gravity="start"
                app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_header"
                app:menu="@menu/drawer_menu" />

    </android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Answer 1

Do you want your "Log In" item to be fixed at the bottom of the Navigation View?

You can do that by nesting additional views/layouts within NavigationView. NavigationView extends FrameLayout, so you can wrap it around child views.

I posted more information on NavigationView footers here. Also see the other answers in that post for more layout options.

Edit

FYI: If you use the "fixed footer" approach, you are basically removing the footer item (e.g. "Log In" in your example) from the menu. That means you have to implement click and other handlers yourself.
