Answer
The view you are referring here is your fragment which is not the container of the navigation drawer
@Override public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) { NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) view.findViewById(R.id.nav_view); //this is wrong! here view is your fragment you must access the nav view using getActivity() method View headerView = (NavigationView) navigationView.getHeaderView(0); ImageView drawerImage = (ImageView) headerView.findViewById(R.id.header_image); drawerImage.setImageResource(R.drawable.header_img2); getActivity().setTitle("Our Projects"); super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState); } //Try replacing with this NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.nav_view); //if your fragment is bound to the activity containing navigation drawer
