[Question] How to use TapTarget in Navigation Drawer ?

I tried many hours for making it work with TapTarget.forView but without success… I can’t succeed in getting the view of an item in the drawer. I tried the solution was there https://github.com/KeepSafe/TapTargetView/issues/210 but it doesn’t seem to be the adapted for.

If somebody could give me some suggestions, it would be nice. Thanks in advance.

I tried different things as the following way :

private void setupDrawerContent(NavigationView navigationView) {
        NavigationMenuView  test = ( NavigationMenuView ) navigationView.getChildAt(0);
        Log.e("count", "parent "+ navigationView.getChildCount() + " child" + test.getChildCount());
    }

The result was 1 et 0.

You’re going to have to get a reference to the target view somehow. Unfortunately, it seems like this class doesnt expose a public API for doing that. Your next best option is reflection, similar to what I do for the Toolbar here: https://github.com/KeepSafe/TapTargetView/blob/master/taptargetview/src/main/java/com/getkeepsafe/taptargetview/ToolbarTapTarget.java

View drawerIcon = toolbar.getChildAt(1); child depends on how your layout has been created

Then following simply the README you can pass it in forView method

TapTarget.forView(drawerIcon, "bla", "blabla")

Done 👯‍♂️
