remove or hide header navigationView in android

Question

i am using design 23.1.1 in my project. i want drawer without header. just menu items are enough. i dont add any header view(programmatically or in XML). but in drawer i have empty header. please help me how to remove this empty header.

 <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigation_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        app:menu="@menu/drawer"
      />

Answer 1

  View headerView= LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.drawer_header, null);
        navigationView.addHeaderView(headerView);
navigationView.getHeaderView(0).setVisibility(View.GONE);

i use dummy layout. and solved my problem but i think it is ridiculous.
