Override AccountHeaderView

[virovinrom]

Can I somehow override AccountHeaderView? I have my own material_drawer_header file with additional button.

I used kotlinx synthetic to refer to this button headerView = AccountHeaderView(ctx).apply { sub_button.visibility = View.VISIBLE } but now I need to migrate to viewbinding and sub_button are now unresolved. How can I manage this issue?

You have access to the accountHeader from the AccountHeaderView.

So if the layout includes an additional view, you can find it with the traditional findViewById

You think like this accountHeader.findViewById(R.id.sub_button) but I have an error: Not enough information to infer type variable T

Please refer to the official docs on how to use platform APIs: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#findViewById(int)

findViewById requires a type as the error states.

either it can infer the type, or you pass it findViewById<T> where T is your type.

Am I correct? accountHeader.findViewById<AppCompatButton>(R.id.sub_button)

I don't know the type of your button, but yes, something like that :D
