Combining answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/40575681/10824768 with comments found an easy solution

Add a new style to the styles.xml
Set the new style to the NavigationView

res / values / styles.xml

<style name="TextAppearance">
    <item name="android:lines">2</item>
</style>

res / layout / activity_main.xml

<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:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
    app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer"
    app:theme="@style/TextAppearance" />

i tried several other solutions including this one with different attributes, but this is the only one that works for me — or_dvir, Dec 05 '19 at 15:21

Right now it can be done much easier - just use app:itemMaxLines="2"

<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
  android:id="@+id/nav_side_view"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:layout_gravity="start"
  android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
  app:headerLayout="@layout/view_nav_header"
  app:itemMaxLines="2"
  app:menu="@menu/nav_menu" />

It works but remember to use `com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0` and `compileSdkVersion` 29. – Misagh Emamverdi Jun 24 '20 at 10:10
