OnClick for navigation drawer header not working

Question

I have a navigation drawer in my app which contains a header and some list items. The header has a textview which i want to make clickable but I am not able to do it.

To get the id of this textview I used the following code, since it is in a different layout file compared to the one in the setContentView in onCreate.

    final LayoutInflater factory = getLayoutInflater();      final View textEntryView = factory.inflate(R.layout.header, null);      TextView home = (TextView) textEntryView.findViewById(R.id.home);     home.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {         @Override         public void onClick(View v) {              Toast.makeText(curr_context, "SHOW", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();          }     }); 

header.xml contains the header of the navigation drawer. It has an item named home. I need to make it clickable. The above code is in the onCreate method.

Answer 1

For me other Answers didn't work. I have tried the below code. I know it's too late. Hope this will help some.

What I did to access the view of header.

NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view); View headerview = navigationView.getHeaderView(0); TextView profilename = (TextView) headerview.findViewById(R.id.prof_username); profilename.setText("your name") 

for clicking the views of header, here I have used a linearlayout of headerview

LinearLayout header = (LinearLayout) headerview.findViewById(R.id.header); header.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {         @Override         public void onClick(View v) {             Toast.makeText(HomeActivity.this, "clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();             drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);         }     }); 

Or

 headerview.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {         @Override         public void onClick(View v) {            // Your code here          }     });

Don't forget to define android:clickable="true" in your TextView xml.
