    </menu>

My activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.lenovo.jdstudio.MainActivity">

        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <include
            layout="@layout/navigation_action"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView2"

Simply implement NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener interface and then override the method onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) like the following:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements
    NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener{

    NavigationView navigationView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        // declaring the NavigationView
        navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigationView);
        // assigning the listener to the NavigationView
        navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {

        menuItem.setChecked(true);

        switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
            case R.id.nav_account:
                // do you click actions for the first selection
                break;
            case R.id.nav_setting:
                // do you click actions for the second selection
                break;
            case R.id.nav_logout:
                // do you click actions for the third selection
                break;
        }

        return true;
    }

}

And for sure don't forget to give id to the NavigationView in your xml-layout:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
    android:id="@+id/navigationView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    app:headerLayout="@layout/navigation_header"
    app:menu="@menu/navigation_menu">

</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>

Should i create a fragment or new activity . which is better? — , Dec 25 '17 at 07:12
If you are talking about the NavigationDrawer holder for sure it should be an Activity, but if you are talking about the pages that the NavigationDrawer will redirect to, they should be fragmentsw so that you will have the same NavigationDrawer in all of the pages with the same functionality without the need to recreate it in every Activity. — Muhammed Refaat, Dec 25 '17 at 10:34
