NavigationView and custom Layout

Here's how I solved it, and worked perfectly:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView    android:id="@+id/navigation"    android:layout_width="wrap_content"    android:layout_height="match_parent"    android:layout_gravity="start"    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">    <LinearLayout        android:layout_width="match_parent"        android:layout_height="match_parent"        android:orientation="vertical">        <include layout="@layout/nav_header" />        <ListView            android:id="@+id/lst_menu_items"            android:layout_width="match_parent"            android:layout_height="0dp"            android:layout_weight="1" />    </LinearLayout></android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>

Yes You can ....As I have done ...Just take your custom layout inside the NavigationView

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout    android:id="@+id/drawer"    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="match_parent"    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView        android:id="@+id/navView"        android:layout_width="wrap_content"        android:layout_height="match_parent"        android:layout_gravity="start">        <ListView            android:entries="@array/test"            android:layout_width="match_parent"            android:layout_height="match_parent"/>    </android.support.design.widget.NavigationView></android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

The above code work for me...But don't forget to remove app:menu from NavigationView . Otherwise it will overlap your custom view on the menu items.
