Selected navigation item is invisible in NavigationView

Question

I have created MainActivity with Navigation Drawer with five different activities. When I click on one activity it opens associated activity layout. After pressing back button, it goes to MainActivity.

Problem is that the selected activity/item's name is invisible in Navigation Drawer but onClick is working. Please help me.
Here is my code

 package com.cabbi;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.design.widget.NavigationView;
import android.support.design.widget.TabLayout;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils;
import android.support.v4.view.GravityCompat;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
        implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
    FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction;
    TabLayout tabLayout;
    ViewPager viewPager;
    TabsAdapter tabsAdapter;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        tabLayout= (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
        viewPager= (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.view_pager);
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("RIDE NOW"));
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("RIDE LATER"));
        tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
        tabsAdapter=new TabsAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(),tabLayout.getTabCount());
        viewPager.setAdapter(tabsAdapter);
        viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));
        tabLayout.addOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
                viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
            }

            @Override
            public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

            }
        });
//        FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
//        fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
//            @Override
//            public void onClick(View view) {
//                Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
//                        .setAction("Action", null).show();

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

        } else {
            super.onBackPressed();
        }
    }

    @Override

        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long

You have to add this below property to NavigationView.

 app:itemIconTint="@android:color/white"
 app:itemTextColor="@android:color/white"

you can use your own color here. i use white color like this way @android:color/white.

full code :

 <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        android:background="#0072BA"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
        app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer"
        app:itemIconTint="@android:color/white"
        app:itemTextColor="@android:color/white"/>
