Change Background Color of Single Specific Menu Items of Navigationview

Change background color of single specific menu items of navigationView

Change background color of single specific menu items

AFAIK Using menu this is not possible you need to create custom navigationView

When you use BackgroundColorSpan to set background to your menu item it only set the background to menu item title not whole view

OUTPUT USING BackgroundColorSpan

Try this way using RecyclerView

Android Change background color of single item in NavigationView

Create menu class :

<item
android:id="@+id/nav_targets"
android:icon="@drawable/icon_target"
android:title="Targets" />

<item
android:id="@+id/nav_testing"
android:icon="@drawable/icon_testing"
android:title="Testing" />

<item
android:id="@+id/nav_course_work"
android:icon="@drawable/icon_course_work"
android:title="Course Work" />

<item
android:id="@+id/nav_schedule"
android:icon="@drawable/icon_schedule"
android:title="Schedule" />

<item
android:id="@+id/nav_profile"
android:icon="@drawable/icon_profile"
android:title="Profile" />

now in activity class :

    MenuItem menuItem = navigationView.getMenu().findItem(R.id.menu_item);
SpannableString s = new SpannableString(menuItem.getTitle());
s.setSpan(new TextAppearanceSpan(this, R.style.TextAppearance), 0, s.length(), 0);
//for single item
if (menuItem.getItemId()==R.id.nav_targets){
menuItem.setTitle(s);
}

res / values / styles.xml

<style name="TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">text_color</item>
<item name="android:textSize">text_size</item>
</style>

This will set the single item color and textsize.
Hope it will help you!!

Android - Change the background color of a single item in the NavigationView

app:itemBackground can be used to change the background color. You can create a selector for checked state and refer the same in xml.

selector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- focused -->
<item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@color/btn_color_green_alpha"></item>
</selector>

colors.xml

<color name="btn_color_green_alpha">#3300ff00</color>

layout file

<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:itemBackground="@drawable/selector" //line to be added
app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main2"
app:menu="@menu/activity_main2_drawer" />

Hope this helps.

If you want only one item in selected color and don't want to apply to others, you cam make other items checkable= false.

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:showIn="navigation_view">

<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_camera"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_camera"
android:title="Import" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_gallery"
android:checkable="false" //line added here
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_gallery"
android:title="Gallery" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_slideshow"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_slideshow"
android:title="Slideshow" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_manage"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_manage"
android:title="Tools" />
</group>
</menu>

Change the color of a checked menu item in a navigation drawer

Well you can achieve this using Color State Resource. If you notice inside your NavigationView you're using

app:itemIconTint="@color/black"
app:itemTextColor="@color/primary_text"

Here instead of using @color/black or @color/primary_test, use a Color State List Resource. For that, first create a new xml (e.g drawer_item.xml) inside color directory (which should be inside res directory.) If you don't have a directory named color already, create one.

Now inside drawer_item.xml do something like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="checked state color" android:state_checked="true" />
<item android:color="your default color" />
</selector>

Final step would be to change your NavigationView

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="@+id/activity_main_navigationview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_header"
app:itemIconTint="@color/drawer_item" // notice here
app:itemTextColor="@color/drawer_item" // and here
app:itemBackground="@android:color/transparent"// and here for setting the background color to tranparent
app:menu="@menu/menu_drawer">

Like this you can use separate Color State List Resources for IconTint, ItemTextColor, ItemBackground.

Now when you set an item as checked (either in xml or programmatically), the particular item will have different color than the unchecked ones.

Android - Navigation View item menu background color

You don't set the drawable for the background of a Navigation View item in your styles.xml file. Open up your XML layout file containing your Navigation View widget, and add the following line to the widget's attributes:

app:itemBackground="@drawable/activated_background.xml"

If you're having trouble with the "app" pointer, add the following line in as well:

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

Note that this only changes the colour of the background of a selected list item. If you'd like the icon and text colour to change as well, use the app:itemTextColor attribute instead.

How to change the Background color of selected item in the Navigation Drawer

I have got the solution-

In the NavigationView I did-

        app:itemBackground="@drawable/drawer_selected_item"

Thus my NavigationView looks like-

        <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="@+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
app:headerLayout="@layout/header"
app:itemIconTint="@drawable/drawer_item"
app:itemTextAppearance="@style/TextAppearance20"
app:itemTextColor="@drawable/drawer_item"
app:menu="@menu/drawer"
app:itemBackground="@drawable/drawer_selected_item"
tools:context="com.androidexample.newssnips.app.NavigationDrawerFragment" />

In the drawer_selected_item I modified file as-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@color/colorAccent"/>
<item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />
</selector>
