i am using design 23.1.1 in my project. i want drawer without header. just menu items are enough. i dont add any header view(programmatically or in XML). but in drawer i have empty header. please help me how to remove this empty header.
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView android:id="@+id/navigation_view" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_gravity="right" app:menu="@menu/drawer" /> 
View headerView= LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.drawer_header, null); navigationView.addHeaderView(headerView); navigationView.getHeaderView(0).setVisibility(View.GONE); i use dummy layout. and solved my problem but i think it is ridiculous.
If You want to remove header:
navigationView.removeHeaderView(navigationView.getHeaderView(0)); Of cource if You have more haeders You have to do this in some loop to remove them all. 0 is index of the first one.
try to add this to your style file <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
and remove app:headerLayout from navigationView xml.
and add this to your navigationView xml :
android:layout_marginTop ="@dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height_material" it worked perfect for me.
To remove it permanently:
The Layout that contains the NavigationView widget is like this:
<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"/> Just remove the app:headerLayout line from it:
app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
