Solution

  • Create a style for you navigationDrawer header in you styles.xml 

     <style name="HeaderTextAppreance">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorPrimary</item> 
 </style>

    and then in your activity access your navigation header with it's Id and then try this:

    NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);

    Menu menu = navigationView.getMenu();

    MenuItem tools= menu.findItem(R.id.yourId);
    SpannableString s = new SpannableString(tools.getTitle());
    s.setSpan(new TextAppearanceSpan(this, R.style.HeaderTextAppreance), 0, s.length(), 0);
    tools.setTitle(s);
    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
