How can I add a custom item to a NavigationView with a menu layout?

by

The actionLayout attribute is now supported in Android Support Library 23.1:

NavigationView provides a convenient way to build a navigation drawer, including the ability to creating menu items using a menu XML file. We’ve expanded the functionality possible with the ability to set custom views for items via app:actionLayout or using MenuItemCompat.setActionView().

So the code in the question should just work now.
