我可以在导航抽屉中更改图标和项目标题之间的距离吗？

Question

I display next items on my navigation menu:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:id="@+id/nav_locate"
   android:icon="@mipmap/ic_add_location_black_24dp"
   android:title="Localizare" />

  <item android:id="@+id/nav_propose"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_landscape_black_24dp"
android:title="Obiective" />

  <item android:id="@+id/nav_propose"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_settings_black_24dp"
android:title="Setari" />

</menu>

But I don't like distance between icon and text. To big. Can I set my own distance between these two things?

Since i don't think there is any direct ways to do that, you can inflate custom layout directly to navigation drawer. From the custom layout, you can do anything you want. The idea is, you make list items that contain ImageView and TextView, and you can set the distance(margin or padding) directly to them.

Here is the example of DrawerLayout

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <!-- Main content -->
    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/main_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
        <!-- Insert any views you want as main content -->
    </RelativeLayout>

    <!-- Navigation drawer -->
    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/navigation_drawer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start" />

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Here how you inflate your custom layout

RelativeLayout drawer = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
View drawerContent = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.drawer_content, null);
drawerContent.setLayoutParams(new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
drawer.addView(drawerContent);

Now you create drawer_content.xml inside res/layout and make the layout as you wish. Here is the example of drawer_content.xml that you can make

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="8dp"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_menu1" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
            android:text="Menu 1" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="8dp"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_menu2" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
            android:text="Menu 2" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="8dp"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_menu3" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
            android:text="Menu 3" />
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>
