TextView instead of icon in navigation drawer

Question

Im trying to change the icon to TextView and color it's background. Actually i have icon on the left side of item, and the text with colored background on the right, using android:actionLayout.

And i want to delete the icon on the left side, and place there a text with colored background which i have currently on right side.

Any possibility?

I think you might need to create your own Navigation drawer adapter. Check answers in this thread to understand how to do it.

Ah, i thought i could avoid this one, but if there isn't other choice – Rafał Michałuszek Dec 06 '17 at 17:38
I was stuck in a similar situation. I couldn't do it without implementing my own adapter. – Amr Yousef Dec 06 '17 at 22:06
