Answer 1

If you are using the NavigationView in the Material Components library, you can apply a custom ShapeAppearanceModel to the corner of the your NavigationView.

Something like:

float radius = getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.roundcorner);
NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
MaterialShapeDrawable navViewBackground = (MaterialShapeDrawable) navigationView.getBackground();
    navViewBackground.setShapeAppearanceModel(
        navViewBackground.getShapeAppearanceModel()
            .toBuilder()
            .setTopRightCorner(CornerFamily.ROUNDED,radius)
            .setBottomRightCorner(CornerFamily.ROUNDED,radius)
            .build());

In this way the NavigationView has rounded corners.
Now you have to pay attention to the header layout to build a rounded corner on the top. You have to use as background for the header view, something like:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:background="@drawable/side_nav_bar" 
    ...>

where the side_nav_bar is

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
     ....
     <corners android:topRightRadius="32dp" />
</shape>

Don't use a rounded corner on the bottom, because it is only the view used on the header of the NavigationView.

The ShapeAppearanceModel requires the version 1.1.0 of material components (currently 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha10')

In Kotlin Language create a class to make extensions:

fun MaterialNavigationView.changeCornerRadius() {
    val navViewBackground : MaterialShapeDrawable = background as MaterialShapeDrawable
    val radius = resources.getDimension(R.dimen.menu_radius)
    navViewBackground.shapeAppearanceModel = navViewBackground.shapeAppearanceModel
        .toBuilder()
        .setTopLeftCorner(CornerFamily.ROUNDED, radius)
        .setBottomLeftCorner(CornerFamily.ROUNDED, radius)
        .build()
}

Usage:

val materialNavigationView: MaterialNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.material_navigation_view)
materialNavigationView.changeCornerRadius()
