import { createMaterialBottomTabNavigator } from 'react-navigation-material-bottom-tabs'; export default createMaterialBottomTabNavigator({ Album: { screen: Album }, Library: { screen: Library }, History: { screen: History }, Cart: { screen: Cart }, }, { initialRouteName: 'Album', activeTintColor: '#F44336', });
