I have a navigation view and it works well but I want to make a small arrow next to it just to let the user know that he can swipe that arrow to the right to see the navigation menu options. I tried to play with margins and put the arrow vector asset inside the navigation view but that didn't work because I also want the user to hide it when he wants to.

That's my simple xml code:

   android:id="@+id/drawer_nav"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:background="@color/black"
   app:menu="@menu/navigation"
   app:itemTextColor="@color/white"
   app:itemIconTint="@color/white"
   android:layout_gravity="start"
   />

I also tried to have my arrow between the tags of navigation view like this but that didn't work as well.. It showed me the place of the icon just where I want it to be but the icon itself ( the arrow ) somehow disappeared :(

<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/drawer_nav"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/black"
        app:menu="@menu/navigation"
        app:itemTextColor="@color/white"
        app:itemIconTint="@color/white"
        android:layout_gravity="start">

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
            android:id="@+id/arrowopenClose"
            android:layout_width="20dp"
            android:layout_height="30dp"
            android:layout_marginEnd="-20dp"
           android:layout_marginTop="400dp"
            android:layout_gravity="right"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_baseline_keyboard_arrow_right_24"
            android:background="@drawable/customarrow"
            android:clickable="true"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    </com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView>


</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>
