Android Drawer Menu Icon Size

How to change the size of menu item icon in NavigationView?

I have the following menu item:

              <item    android:id="@+id/lock"                android:checkable="true"                android:title="@string/lock"                >    <menu>        <item           android:id="@+id/block_mess"                android:checked="true"                android:icon="@drawable/chantinnhan"                android:title="@string/block_mess_string"                />         <item             android:id="@+id/block_call"                android:checked="false"                android:icon="@drawable/chancuocgoi"                android:title="@string/block_call_string"                />         <item             android:id="@+id/lock_app"                android:checked="false"                android:icon="@drawable/khoaungdung"                android:title="@string/lock_app_string"                />    </menu> </item>

...there's still more but it's really long

but the icon is really small (even it has res 256x256). I'd like to make it bigger! Is this possible?

Here's the screenshot:

EDIT: OK, we both know that Google "lock" the icon size. But I want to know that can I "bypass" that lock and make something... customizable?

Answer #1:

You can change the size of navigationView icon by overriding design_navigation_icon_size attribute. You can put it in dimens and because you're overriding a private attribute, you need to include tools:override="true"

                          <dimen                name="design_navigation_icon_size"                tools:override="true">40dp</dimen>

Answer #2:

Got Solution

Make Below entry in dimens.

                          <dimen                name="design_navigation_icon_size">48dp</dimen>

Answer #3:

The main thing that decide the icon's size is the dimension:navigation_icon_size, have a look at the NavigationMenuItemView class:

                                          public                NavigationMenuItemView                (Context context, AttributeSet attrs,                  int                  defStyleAttr)              {              super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);              this.mIconSize = context.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(dimen.navigation_icon_size); }

so, we can just overide the property in our dimens file.

For example:

                          <dimen                name="navigation_icon_size">48dp</dimen>

add that code in the dimens file, and you can find it's size changed.

Answer #4:

According to the the design document set by Google itself, icons should be set to 14sp. I suggest you abide by this recommendation, since this is a standard used throughout all apps. As you said, there are no apps which have large icons in the navigation drawer, as this is not the norm when developing a navigation drawer icon.

Answer #5:

In your xml file the shortest way is there is a property in NavigationView Just add it .

app:itemIconSize="12dp"
