How to get view from drawer header layout with binding in activity?

July 21, 2023 by Tarik

If you set app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_header then you don’t have to inflate the view again. You can just use .bind instead of .inflate.

You can get the already inflated header view and bind it like this:

View headerView = binding.navigationView.getHeaderView(0);
DrawerHeaderBinding headerBinding = DrawerHeaderBinding.bind(headerView);
