Description
Overview
While the Android Design library has a NavigationView component for navigation drawers, one thing that's still missing is the account header detailed in the official Material Design specification on navigation drawers.
Given it's frequent usage, I'd love to see an implementation of this that's optimized for the existing NavigationView and doesn't mess with internals as I did in my extension library.

Define the account-header behavior and integration boundaries, then verify that it works across the supported operating systems and devices without relying on NavigationView internals.
