Answer 1

In Main_activity.xml , provides an ID to NavigationView (eg. android:id="@+id/navigation" )

In onCreate() :

NavigationView navigation = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation);
View header = navigation.getHeaderView(0);
TextView name = (TextView) header.findViewById(R.id.name);
name.setText("Your name");

Answer 2

You can try this

drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
 TextView t = (TextView)drawerLayout.findViewById(R.id.name);
