Android studio navigation drawer with fragment or activities

I'm trying to develop an application using the Navigation drawer template of Android Studio. So, I created a new project using this template. But when I run the program and click on a menu item, the view doesn't change. I searched everywhere on internet, but I didn't see how I can handle this.

This is the code provided by Android Studio:

 public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle navigation view item clicks here.

    int id = item.getItemId();

    if (id == R.id.nav_camara) {


    } else if (id == R.id.nav_gallery) {

    } else if (id == R.id.nav_slideshow) {

    } else if (id == R.id.nav_manage) {

    } else if (id == R.id.nav_share) {

    } else if (id == R.id.nav_send) {

    }

    DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    return true;
}

What I want to achieve is to replace the current view with the appropriate view for the menu item clicked.

Is Fragment the best way to do this or should I create a different activity for each menu item?

Beginning from android studio > 3.5 you will realize when you create navigation drawer activity it generates fragments opens when drawer items are clicked.

you can a listener if you want to open an activity.

 mAppBarConfiguration = new AppBarConfiguration.Builder(
            R.id.nav_home, R.id.nav_gallery, R.id.nav_slideshow,
            R.id.nav_tools, R.id.nav_share, R.id.nav_send,R.id.nav_accounts)
            .setDrawerLayout(drawer)
            .build();
    NavController navController = Navigation.findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_fragment);
    NavigationUI.setupActionBarWithNavController(this, navController, mAppBarConfiguration);
    NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(navigationView, navController);


    navController.addOnDestinationChangedListener(new NavController.OnDestinationChangedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDestinationChanged(@NonNull NavController controller, @NonNull NavDestination destination, @Nullable Bundle arguments) {

            int menuId = destination.getId();

            switch (menuId){
                case R.id.nav_gallery:
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"You tapped gallery",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    fab.hide();

                    break;
                    default:
                        fab.show();
                        break;
            }

        }
    });
