android - Setting a margin for NavigationDrawer items -

my problem can't correctly set margin in navigation drawer. have tried changing margin of view , item doesn't seem work out. space between actionbar , navigationdrawer (and beginning of page). think problem inside listitem layout not sure. photo of get

and layout , code files.

main layout

<android.support.v4.widget.drawerlayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:id="@+id/drawer_layout">  <android.support.v4.widget.swiperefreshlayout  android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:id="@+id/refreshsites" tools:context=".myactivity">  <android.support.v7.widget.recyclerview xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/siteslist" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margintop="5dp"/> </android.support.v4.widget.swiperefreshlayout>  <relativelayout     android:layout_width="280dp"     android:layout_height="fill_parent"     android:id="@+id/drawerpane"     android:layout_gravity="start">      <linearlayout         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:orientation="vertical"         android:layout_margintop="15dp">  <listview android:id="@+id/left_drawer"     android:layout_width="280dp"      android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:layout_gravity="start"     android:choicemode="singlechoice"     android:divider="@android:color/white"     android:dividerheight="0dp"     android:layout_marginleft="15dp"     android:background="#fff">     </listview>      </linearlayout> </relativelayout> </android.support.v4.widget.drawerlayout> 

drawer_list_item.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>     <textview     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_marginleft="50dp"     android:layout_margintop="15dp"     android:layout_marginstart="50dp"     android:textappearance="?android:attr/textappearancelarge"     android:textcolor="#222"/> 

my piece of code works navigationdrawer

 mdrawerlayout = (drawerlayout) findviewbyid(r.id.drawer_layout);     mdrawerlist = (listview) findviewbyid(r.id.left_drawer);    mdrawerlist.setadapter(new arrayadapter<string>(this,         r.layout.drawer_list_item, mplanettitles)); //mplanettitles string array 

so question is: how set these margins correctly?

try item

<textview xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:background="#fff"         android:padding="20dp"         android:textappearance="?android:attr/textappearancelarge"         android:textcolor="#222"         android:text="bla bla bla" /> 

and main xml this

<android.support.v4.widget.drawerlayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:id="@+id/drawer_layout">  <android.support.v4.widget.swiperefreshlayout      android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:id="@+id/refreshsites"     tools:context=".myactivity">      <android.support.v7.widget.recyclerview         xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"         android:id="@+id/siteslist"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_margintop="5dp"/> </android.support.v4.widget.swiperefreshlayout>  <relativelayout     android:layout_width="280dp"     android:layout_height="fill_parent"     android:id="@+id/drawerpane"     android:layout_gravity="start">      <linearlayout         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:orientation="vertical">          <listview android:id="@+id/left_drawer"             android:layout_width="280dp"             android:layout_height="match_parent"             android:layout_gravity="start"             android:choicemode="singlechoice"             android:divider="@android:color/white"             android:dividerheight="0dp"             android:background="#fff">         </listview>      </linearlayout> </relativelayout> 

hope, help.
