How to add click event to item on NavigationView of Android

You have to use OnNavigationItemSelectedListener(MenuItem item) method.

for more check this documentation.

I wanted to make sure the Solution from Nizam can be found in Kotlin to, since it is takeing bigger place every day:

val mDrawerLayout = this.findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout) as DrawerLayout

val mNavigationView = findViewById<View>(R.id.navigation) as NavigationView

Handle the navigation items in onCreate like this:

mNavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener { it: MenuItem ->
                when (it.itemId) {
                    R.id.nav_item1 -> doThis()
                    R.id.nav_item2-> doThat()
                    else -> {
                        true
                    }
                }
            }

Remember: Return Type has to be a boolean!

1. Implement the listener in your Activity:

   public class HomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements 
                 NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener
   

2. setNavigationItemSelectedListener in onCreate of Activity

   NavigationView mNavigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.account_navigation_view);
   
   if (mNavigationView != null) {
           mNavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
   }
   

3. Override the method

   public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
       // Handle navigation view item clicks here.
       int id = item.getItemId();
   
       if (id == R.id.nav_account) {
          // DO your stuff 
       }
   }
