Can't remove navigation drawer header left padding?-CodePudding

I want to remove the left padding that the navigation drawer adds automatically. I tried adding

android:padding="0dp"

and margins of 0dp to the elements but there seems to be a little bit of space on the left of the drawer header. Is there something I'm missing?

Here's the header code

<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@ id/report_toolbar"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/toolbar_height"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/accent">

        <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">
            <ImageButton
                android:id="@ id/navigation_fllesh_button"
                android:layout_width="@dimen/side_button_size"
                android:layout_height="@dimen/side_button_size"
                android:background="@android:color/transparent"
                android:src="@drawable/ic_foreground_logo"
                android:contentDescription="@string/drawer_closing_button_description"
                app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
                app:tint="@color/white" />

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
                android:fontFamily="@font/addingtoncf_bold"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:text="@string/app_title"
                android:textColor="@color/white"
                android:textSize="18sp"
                app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@ id/navigation_fllesh_button"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@ id/navigation_fllesh_button"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@ id/navigation_fllesh_button" />
        </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

    </androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar>

and here is the extra padding:

This is the design view

And this is the blueprint view

CodePudding user response：

As you want to remove the toolbar margin from left try to remove it with the help of contentinsert padding to, by setting 0dp.

android:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
android:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
android:contentInsetRight="0dp"
android:contentInsetEnd="0dp"
app:contentInsetRight="0dp"
app:contentInsetEnd="0dp" 
android:paddingLeft="0dp"

If still the problem still there then set contentInsetStartWithNavigation to zero

app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"

Hope it will solve your issue.
