How to add click event to item on NavigationView of Android

Question

I am trying to implement Sidebar NavigationDrawer in my Android project. To do so, I have used NavigationView in DrawerLayout. To show items I used menu. I want to add click event on that added menu items.

Code for reference: In navigation menu -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@+id/nav_account" android:title="My Account"/>
    <item android:id="@+id/nav_settings" android:title="Settings"/>
    <item android:id="@+id/nav_layout" android:title="Log Out"/>
</menu>

In View:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:menu="@menu/navigation_menu"
        android:layout_gravity="start" />

1. Implement the listener in your Activity:

   public class HomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements 
                 NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener
   

2. setNavigationItemSelectedListener in onCreate of Activity

   NavigationView mNavigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.account_navigation_view);
   
   if (mNavigationView != null) {
           mNavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
   }
   

3. Override the method

   public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
       // Handle navigation view item clicks here.
       int id = item.getItemId();
   
       if (id == R.id.nav_account) {
          // DO your stuff 
       }
   }
