the menu exist but the header of the layout dosen't appear, i can't inderstand the problem — Ammy19
Show the code where you make use of this XML file, and describe what you mean by "not found". You cannot retrieve the views with findViewById()? — Bryan

The NavigationView internally uses a RecyclerView to display the headers and menu items. This causes the activity to not find any views in the header, as the RecyclerView dynamically loads the views (that's the whole purpose of it).

However, the support library has a method for getting the header view, as documented in the NavigationView API reference:

getHeaderView(int index): Gets the header view at the specified position.

So the following piece of code should get the profile ImageView and the email TextView:

NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
View headerView = navigationView.getHeaderView(0);
ImageView profileView = (ImageView) headerView.findViewById(R.id.profil);
TextView emailView = (TextView) headerView.findViewById(R.id.textView);

Edit: Based on the stack trace you provided the core issue is the following (@drawable/profil is apparantly not a valid drawable or doesn't exist):

android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable (color or path)
