first: You can put your device in RTL mode, go to develop settings (Force RTL layout direction).
After doing this all the layouts will mirror correctly.
If you don't want to change the whole device into RTL use this code in onCreate method of mainactivity before super and before you inflate the content view

window.decorView.layoutDirection = View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL

  • Hi and welcome to Stack Overflow! Please take the [tour](https://stackoverflow.com/tour). Thanks for contributing with an answer but can you also add an explanation of what the attributes do and/or how they solve the issue? – Jeanne Dark Dec 06 '20 at 07:40

You need to use a custom layout for NavigationView.

According to this: http://www.kamilslesinski.com/home/navigation-drawer-customising-navigationview-items you can override the layout by copying original file and customizing it, or you can add a reference to your custom layout, like that: how to customize snackBar's layout? in refs.xml.
