<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.drawerlayout.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:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/drawer"
    tools:openDrawer="start"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            app:title=" Drawer Navigation "
            app:titleTextColor="#0ff"
            android:background="@color/teal_700"
            />
    </RelativeLayout>

    <com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
        android:layout_width="250sp"
        android:background="@color/trans"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/navmenu"
        app:menu="@menu/menu"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/navheader"
        android:layout_gravity="start"/>

</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>

Main_activity.java

package com.pd.myapplication;

import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.appcompat.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar;
import androidx.core.view.GravityCompat;
import androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout;
import androidx.transition.Slide;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Toast;

import com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
    NavigationView nav;
    ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle;
    DrawerLayout drawerLayout;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Toolbar toolbar=(Toolbar)findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        nav=(NavigationView)findViewById(R.id.navmenu);
        drawerLayout=(DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.drawer);

        toggle=new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this,drawerLayout,toolbar,R.string.open,R.string.close);
        drawerLayout.addDrawerListener(toggle);
        toggle.syncState();

        nav.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem menuItem)
            {
                switch (menuItem.getItemId())
                {
                    case R.id.menu_home :
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Home",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
                        break;

                    case R.id.menu_share :
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Share your friends",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
                        break;

                    case R.id.menu_setting :
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Setting",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
                        break;
                }

                return true;
            }
        });
    }
}

Now Create New xml file named

navheader.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/purple_200"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:scaleType="fitXY"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher_background" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textColor="#0ff"
        android:textSize="20dp"
        android:text="Hello Word!"/>

</androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat>

Create a menu folder In menu folder, create

menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:id="@+id/menu_home"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_baseline_home_24"
            android:title="Home"
            />

        <item android:id="@+id/menu_share"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_baseline_share_24"
            android:title="share"/>

        <item android:id="@+id/menu_setting"
