Setting A Margin For Navigationdrawer Items

My problem is that I can't correctly set up the margin in my navigation drawer. I have tried changing margin of any view and item but it doesn't seem to work out. All I get is spac

Solution 1:

Try this :

Using the help of Theme.add theme in DrawerLayout.

<stylename="NavigationTheme"parent="AppTheme"><itemname="android:layout_marginTop">5dp</item><itemname="android:layout_marginLeft">10dp</item></style>

Hope, this will help.

Solution 2:

Try this as item

<TextViewxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:background="#fff"android:padding="20dp"android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"android:textColor="#222"android:text="bla bla bla" />
