Android - remove NavigationView menu item selected color?

To remove or customize the selected color of menu items in a NavigationView in Android, you typically need to override the default styling of the NavigationView and its underlying components. Here's how you can achieve this:

Method 1: Customize NavigationView using a custom style

  1. Define a custom style for NavigationView in your styles.xml:

    <style name="AppTheme.NavigationView"> <item name="android:colorControlHighlight">@android:color/transparent</item> </style>

    This style sets the android:colorControlHighlight attribute to @android:color/transparent to remove the highlight color.

  2. Apply the custom style to your NavigationView in the layout XML file:

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView android:id="@+id/navigation_view" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent" app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header" app:menu="@menu/nav_menu" app:theme="@style/AppTheme.NavigationView" />

    Replace android.support.design.widget.NavigationView with com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView if you are using Material Components.

Method 2: Customize item background using itemBackground attribute

Alternatively, you can customize the background color of the selected item by setting the itemBackground attribute in your NavigationView:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView android:id="@+id/navigation_view" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent" app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header" app:menu="@menu/nav_menu" app:itemBackground="@android:color/transparent" />

Method 3: Programmatically remove highlight effect

If you want to remove the highlight programmatically, you can disable the default item background:

NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.navigation_view); navigationView.setItemBackgroundResource(android.R.color.transparent);

Notes:

  • Compatibility: Use android.support.design.widget.NavigationView for older Android versions and com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView for apps using Material Components.

  • Customization: Adjust colors and styles according to your app's design requirements.

  • Testing: Test across different Android versions to ensure consistent behavior.

By applying these methods, you can effectively remove or customize the selected color highlight of menu items in a NavigationView within your Android application. Adjust the styling to fit your app's design guidelines and user experience goals.
