Removing the space where the title should be for menu Item

If I set the android:title='' option in my activity_main_drawer.xml:

android:title=''

activity_main_drawer.xml

I get the title displayed. However I've only got one menu option in there, I dont need a title. So if I remove that line:

I end up with a blank space. How can I get rid of that unnecessary space?

My XML for activity_main_drawer.xml is:

activity_main_drawer.xml

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

<item
android:id="@+id/myfolders"
android:orderInCategory="1"
android:title="My Folders"/>

<item
android:id="@+id/systemoptions"
android:orderInCategory="2"
android:title="Preferences">
<menu>
<item
android:id="@+id/system_about"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_info"
android:title="About" />
</menu>
</item>

</menu>


The code I use to add items to the menu is a function called setupMenu:

NavigationView navView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
Menu menu = navView.getMenu();
int x = 0;
while(x < folders.size())
menu.add(R.id.myfolders,Menu.NONE,Menu.NONE,folders.get(x++));

navView.invalidate();

Menu-Item-Menu-Item may not be the appropriate structure here. If you want the horizontal line to appear above "About" so that it appears as a separate section, use the below code structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:showIn="navigation_view">
....
....
<group android:checkableBehavior="single"
android:id="@+id/about_menu">
<item android:id="@+id/system_about"
android:title="About"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_info" />
</group>
</menu>


Menu-Group-Item is used here.

You could use the group tag instead of nesting your items.

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

<item
android:id="@+id/myfolders"
android:orderInCategory="1"
android:title="My Folders" />

<group
android:id="@+id/systemoptions"
android:checkableBehavior="single"
android:orderInCategory="2">
<item
android:id="@+id/system_about"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_info"
android:title="About" />
</group>

</menu>


myfolders

android:orderInCategory="1"
