Android jetpack component - toast on navigation drawer click

Question

I am using navigation jetpack and have set up navigation drawer. Every thing works fine. But the problem is I want to show a toast when user clicks "nav_share" but it is not showing...

here is how i made navigation drawer

DrawerLayout drawer = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);

        navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);

        mAppBarConfiguration = new AppBarConfiguration.Builder(
                R.id.navigation_home, R.id.navigation_dashboard, R.id.navigation_plan, R.id.navigation_notifications)
                .setDrawerLayout(drawer)
                .build();

        NavController navController = Navigation.findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_fragment);
        NavigationUI.setupActionBarWithNavController(this, navController, mAppBarConfiguration);
        NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(navigationView, navController);

my menu for navigation drawer is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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_home"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_camera"
            android:title="@string/menu_home" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_gallery"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_gallery"
            android:title="@string/menu_gallery" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_slideshow"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_slideshow"
            android:title="@string/menu_slideshow" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_tools"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_manage"
            android:title="@string/menu_tools" />
    </group>

    <item android:title="Communicate">
        <menu>
            <item
                android:id="@+id/nav_share"
                android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_share"
                android:title="@string/menu_share" />
            <item
                android:id="@+id/nav_send"
                android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_send"
                android:title="@string/menu_send" />
        </menu>
    </item>

</menu>

finally:

@Override
    public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem menuItem) {

        int id = menuItem.getItemId();

        if (id == R.id.nav_share)
            Toast.makeText(LauncherActivity.this, "Click", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        DrawerLayout drawer = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
        return true;
    }

i want that click toast...i cannot see what am i missing....

i tired but when i did that...my onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem menuItem) function is never executed although i have done navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this); .. — unownsp, Nov 21 '19 at 09:58
The `NavigationUI.setupWithNavController()` call is calling `setNavigationItemSelectedListener()` itself internally, which overrides the call you made earlier. Your `onNavigationItemSelected()` is not going to be called, since the Navigation framework is handling the `NavigationView` clicks. — Mike M., Nov 21 '19 at 10:20
@MikeM. if I add navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this); on last of my onCreate() then the toast is shown...but now i cannot navigate to my dashboard, plans or profile .... how can i show the toast and be able to navigate between my fragments..can you elaborate?? — unownsp, Nov 21 '19 at 10:26
Right, because then your call is overriding the one that `NavigationUI.setupWithNavController()` sets. Why do you want to show a `Toast` there? Surely that's not what you ultimately want to do, yeah? — Mike M., Nov 21 '19 at 10:30
yeah,i will be adding logout option there..where i need to add a alert dialog to confirm logout...so i am testing with toast so later i can implement a alert dialog — unownsp, Nov 21 '19 at 10:32
Well, it'd probably be less work, in the end, to just go ahead and set up a stub dialog destination. Otherwise, I _think_ you can set your `OnNavigationItemSelectedListener`, and call [`NavigationUI.onNavDestinationSelected()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/navigation/ui/NavigationUI.html#onNavDestinationSelected(android.view.MenuItem,%20androidx.navigation.NavController)) in `onNavigationItemSelected()`, if `id != R.id.nav_share`. I'm not very familiar with the Navigation framework, yet, but that seems to be the way to do it, AFAICT. — Mike M., Nov 21 '19 at 10:45

if any one wants the answer..i did some research and finally found a solution to it...hope it helps....

NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
MenuItem shareItem = navigationView.getMenu().findItem(R.id.nav_share);
shareItem.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
     @Override
     public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {

     Toast.makeText(LauncherActivity.this, "click", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
     //do as you want with the button click

      DrawerLayout drawer = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
      drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);

      return true;
     }
 });

Use this

 NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
 navigationView.bringToFront()
 navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);

I also had your problem and came up with the solution

NavController navController = Navigation.findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_home);
    NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(navigationView, navController);

    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem menuItem) {
            int id = menuItem.getItemId();
            if (id == R.id.nav_share) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "nav_share", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            NavigationUI.onNavDestinationSelected(menuItem, navController);
            drawerLayout.closeDrawer(Gravity.RIGHT);
            return true;
        }
    });

Android Jetpack Navigation - Custom Action with Drawer Item

Simple step and easy

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(),NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener{

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

    val navView: NavigationView = binding.navView
    navController = findNavController(R.id.nav_host_fragment_content_main)
    navView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this)

 }

 override fun onNavigationItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean {

    val url: String? = when (item.itemId) {
        R.id.nav_privacy_policy -> MenuItemUrl.PRIVACY_POLICY
        R.id.nav_term_condition -> MenuItemUrl.TERM_AND_CONDITION
        R.id.nav_contact_us -> MenuItemUrl.CONTACT_US
        R.id.nav_feedback -> MenuItemUrl.FEEDBACK
        R.id.nav_help_support -> MenuItemUrl.HELP_AND_SUPPORT
        R.id.nav_faq -> MenuItemUrl.FAQ
        R.id.nav_about_us -> MenuItemUrl.ABOUT_US
        else -> null
    }

    if (url != null) Methods.openBrowser(this@MainActivity, url) // Do anything here ex. show toast etc.
    NavigationUI.onNavDestinationSelected(item, navController)
    drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START)
    return true
 }

}
