Lightweight Bottom Navigation library component inspired by the Google Material Design Guidelines at https://www.google.com/design/spec/components/bottom-navigation.html
This project is also inspired by https://github.com/roughike/BottomBar
In your project's build.gradle file add the following line to the dependencies group:
compile 'it.sephiroth.android.library.bottomnavigation:bottom-navigation:1.0.7'
Usage of the BottomNavigation widget is very easy. Just place it in your layout.xml like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout android:id="@+id/CoordinatorLayout01"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
...your content...
<it.sephiroth.android.library.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigation
android:id="@+id/BottomNavigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
app:bbn_entries="@menu/bottombar_menu_4items"
app:bbn_scrollEnabled="true"
app:bbn_badgeProvider="@string/bbn_badgeProvider"
app:layout_behavior="@string/bbn_phone_view_behavior" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>All the menu main configurations are defined within the xml menu resource itself. Here's an example of a menu with 4 items:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:background="@android:color/black"
app:bbn_badgeColor="#FFFF0000"
app:bbn_rippleColor="#33ffffff">
<item
android:id="@+id/bbn_item1"
android:color="@color/colorPrimary"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_cloud_off_white_24dp"
android:title="Cloud Sync" />
<item
android:id="@+id/bbn_item2"
android:color="@android:color/holo_green_dark"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_cast_connected_white_24dp"
android:title="Chromecast" />
<item
android:id="@+id/bbn_item3"
android:color="@android:color/holo_orange_dark"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_mail_white_24dp"
android:title="Mail" />
<item
android:id="@+id/action4"
android:color="#FF5252"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_format_list_numbered_white_24dp"
android:title="List" />
</menu>| 4 shifting items menu | 3 fixed items menu |
|---|---|
 |
 |
| 4 items no background | Tablet mode |
|---|---|
| 4 items without changing background. Menu show/hide feature is also disabled |
Menu can be easily setup for (left or right) tablet support. |

Dimensions and paddings follow the Google giudelines
The View supports tablet mode too (Left or Right). In order to enable tablet mode this is the configuration that should be used:
<it.sephiroth.android.library.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigation
android:id="@+id/BottomNavigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:bbn_entries="@menu/bottombar_menu_3items"
app:bbn_badgeProvider="@string/bbn_badgeProvider"
app:layout_behavior="@string/bbn_tablet_view_behavior" />The xml menu supports the following attributes in the <menu> tag:
<declare-styleable name="BottomNavigationMenu">
<!-- menu default background color -->
<attr name="android:background" />
<!-- default badge color -->
<attr name="bbn_badgeColor" format="color" />
<!-- animation duration for the menu items -->
<attr name="bbn_itemAnimationDuration" format="integer" />
<!-- ripple selector color -->
<attr name="bbn_rippleColor" format="color" />
<!-- menu item active color -->
<attr name="bbn_itemColorActive" format="color" />
<!-- menu item inactive color -->
<attr name="bbn_itemColorInactive" format="color" />
</declare-styleable>
There's a basic support for badges using the default implementation. In order to display a badge in the current BottomNavigation view, all you have to do is:
final BadgeProvider provider = bottomNavigationView.getBadgeProvider();
provider.show(R.id.bbn_item3);This code will show a little circle badge on the menu item with the id "bbn_item3".
You can define the default badge color inside the menu xml itself:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
app:bbn_badgeColor="#FFFF0000">
<item
android:id="@+id/bbn_item1"
android:color="@color/colorPrimary"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_cloud_off_white_24dp"
android:title="Cloud Sync" />
...
</menu>Then you can hide the badge using:
bottomNavigation.getBadgeProvider().remove(R.id.bbn_item3);You can use your own Drawable by extending the BadgeProvider class.
Once you've setup your new class you can tell the BottomNavigation view to use your class by specifying it in the "bbn_badgeProvider" attribute of your xml file.
For instance:
<it.sephiroth.android.library.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigation
android:id="@id/BottomNavigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
app:bbn_badgeProvider="my.custom.BadgeProviderCustom"
app:bbn_entries="@menu/bottombar_menu_4items"
app:layout_behavior="@string/bbn_phone_view_behavior" />This will make your my.custom.BadgeProviderCustom the default BadgeProvider.
