Yet another material bottom bar library for Android
Quick Overview
BottomNavigationViewEx is an enhanced version of Android's BottomNavigationView. It extends the functionality of the original component, offering additional features and customization options for creating more flexible and visually appealing bottom navigation bars in Android applications.
Pros
- Provides more customization options than the standard BottomNavigationView
- Supports dynamic item addition and removal
- Allows for disabling the shift mode for a consistent appearance
- Offers easy integration with ViewPager for smooth navigation
Cons
- May require additional maintenance as Android's native BottomNavigationView evolves
- Potential performance overhead due to added features
- Limited documentation and examples for some advanced use cases
- Dependency on a third-party library instead of using native Android components
Code Examples
- Disabling shift mode and setting custom colors:
val bottomNavEx = findViewById<BottomNavigationViewEx>(R.id.bottomNavEx)
bottomNavEx.enableShiftingMode(false)
bottomNavEx.enableItemShiftingMode(false)
bottomNavEx.setTextVisibility(false)
bottomNavEx.setItemBackground(R.drawable.custom_background)
bottomNavEx.setIconTintList(ContextCompat.getColorStateList(this, R.color.custom_tint))
- Adding and removing items dynamically:
val bottomNavEx = findViewById<BottomNavigationViewEx>(R.id.bottomNavEx)
val newItem = BottomNavigationItemView(this)
newItem.setIcon(R.drawable.new_icon)
newItem.setTitle("New Item")
bottomNavEx.menu.add(Menu.NONE, R.id.new_item_id, Menu.NONE, "New Item")
bottomNavEx.addView(newItem)
// Removing an item
bottomNavEx.menu.removeItem(R.id.item_to_remove)
- Setting up with ViewPager:
val bottomNavEx = findViewById<BottomNavigationViewEx>(R.id.bottomNavEx)
val viewPager = findViewById<ViewPager>(R.id.viewPager)
bottomNavEx.setupWithViewPager(viewPager)
Getting Started
To use BottomNavigationViewEx in your Android project:
- Add the dependency to your app's
build.gradle
file:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.ittianyu:BottomNavigationViewEx:2.0.4'
}
- Add the BottomNavigationViewEx to your layout XML:
<com.ittianyu.bottomnavigationviewex.BottomNavigationViewEx
android:id="@+id/bottomNavEx"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_menu" />
- Initialize and customize in your Activity or Fragment:
val bottomNavEx = findViewById<BottomNavigationViewEx>(R.id.bottomNavEx)
bottomNavEx.enableAnimation(false)
bottomNavEx.setTextSize(12f)
Competitor Comparisons
(Deprecated) A custom view component that mimics the new Material Design Bottom Navigation pattern.
Pros of BottomBar
- More customizable appearance with extensive theming options
- Supports badges and notifications out of the box
- Easier to implement shifting behavior and animations
Cons of BottomBar
- Not based on the official Material Design component
- May require more setup and configuration
- Less frequently updated compared to BottomNavigationViewEx
Code Comparison
BottomBar implementation:
val bottomBar = findViewById<BottomBar>(R.id.bottomBar)
bottomBar.setOnTabSelectListener { tabId ->
// Handle tab selection
}
BottomNavigationViewEx implementation:
val bottomNav = findViewById<BottomNavigationViewEx>(R.id.bottom_nav)
bottomNav.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener { item ->
// Handle item selection
true
}
Both libraries offer similar functionality, but BottomNavigationViewEx is based on the official Android BottomNavigationView, making it more aligned with Material Design guidelines. BottomBar provides more customization options out of the box, which can be beneficial for projects requiring unique designs. However, BottomNavigationViewEx is more frequently updated and maintained, ensuring better compatibility with the latest Android versions and support libraries.

bottomNavigation.addItem(AHBottomNavigationItem("Item 1", R.drawable.ic_item1))
bottomNavigation.addItem(AHBottomNavigationItem("Item 2", R.drawable.ic_item2))
bottomNavigation.setOnTabSelectedListener { position, wasSelected ->
// Handle selection
}
BottomNavigationViewEx:
val bottomNavigation = findViewById<BottomNavigationViewEx>(R.id.bottom_navigation)
bottomNavigation.enableAnimation(false)
bottomNavigation.enableShiftingMode(false)
bottomNavigation.enableItemShiftingMode(false)
bottomNavigation.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener { item ->
// Handle selection
true

Manual:
Downloading BottomNavigationViewEx.java and copying it to you project.
Getting started
Adding a custom widget in xml
:
<com.ittianyu.bottomnavigationviewex.BottomNavigationViewEx
android:id="@+id/bnve"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
app:itemIconTint="@color/selector_item_color"
app:itemTextColor="@color/selector_item_color"
app:menu="@menu/menu_navigation_with_view_pager" />
Binding view in Activity
:
BottomNavigationViewEx bnve = (BottomNavigationViewEx) findViewById(R.id.bnve);
Disable all animations
bnve.enableAnimation(false);
bnve.enableShiftingMode(false);
bnve.enableItemShiftingMode(false);
Custom text and icon size
bnve.setIconSize(widthDp, heightDp);
bnve.setTextSize(sp);
Binding with ViewPager
// set adapter
adapter = new VpAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), fragments);
bind.vp.setAdapter(adapter);
// binding with ViewPager
bind.bnve.setupWithViewPager(bind.vp);
Add badge view
- Add badge lib
compile 'q.rorbin:badgeview:1.1.0'
- Bind bottom view
// add badge addBadgeAt(2, 1); private Badge addBadgeAt(int position, int number) { // add badge return new QBadgeView(this) .setBadgeNumber(number) .setGravityOffset(12, 2, true) .bindTarget(bind.bnve.getBottomNavigationItemView(position)) .setOnDragStateChangedListener(new Badge.OnDragStateChangedListener() { @Override public void onDragStateChanged(int dragState, Badge badge, View targetView) { if (Badge.OnDragStateChangedListener.STATE_SUCCEED == dragState) Toast.makeText(BadgeViewActivity.this, R.string.tips_badge_removed, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }); }
Other usage in BottomNavigationViewEx
You can see the demo.
Usage in BottomNavigationView
Other usage is the same as official BottomNavigationView
.
You can click here for detail.
ProGuard
If you are using ProGuard you might need to add the following option:
None Android X
-keep public class android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView { *; }
-keep public class android.support.design.internal.BottomNavigationMenuView { *; }
-keep public class android.support.design.internal.BottomNavigationPresenter { *; }
-keep public class android.support.design.internal.BottomNavigationItemView { *; }
Android X
-keep public class com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView { *; }
-keep public class com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationMenuView { *; }
-keep public class com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationPresenter { *; }
-keep public class com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationItemView { *; }
References
The lib is based on BottomNavigationView
in Support Library 25 design
.
I found it was inflexible when I tried the demo. For example, I couldn't change the currently checked item through code. So I wrote a class to extend it to provide some useful methods.
You have no need to worry about stability, because I minimised the modifications through reflection.
