Java android NavigationView with checkbox

Question

I want to create a NavigationView with checkbox or switch , I just want to have this feature in my navigation to items switch and it should work just like this : When I turn one switch to another it changes to off state. What I did to have a switch is, this :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/switchs"
           />
    </LinearLayout>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <group android:checkableBehavior="single">
        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_menu1"
            android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
            android:title="Menu 1" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_menu2"
            android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
            android:title="Menu 2" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_menu3"
            app:actionLayout="@layout/action_view_switch"
            android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
            android:title="Menu 3" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_menu4"
            app:actionLayout="@layout/action_view_switch"
            android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
            android:title="Menu 4" />
    </group>

</menu>

But I can not have a value or status a switch and have a listener to see a change status

first of all create a layout action_view_checkbox.xml as below

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:orientation="horizontal">

                <TextView
                    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/checkbox" />

                <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatCheckBox
                    android:id="@+id/checkbox"
                    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="match_parent"
                    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                    android:text="" />
            </RelativeLayout>

and add layout as an item to the menu

<menu xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:id="@+id/check_box_menu"
        app:actionLayout="@layout/action_view_checkbox"
        android:title="Title" />
</menu>

And check click event as

Menu menu = navigationView.getMenu();
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.check_box_menu);
View actionView = MenuItemCompat.getActionView(menuItem);
actionView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {

  }
});
