A customizable and easy to use BottomBar navigation view with sleek animations, with support for ViewPager, ViewPager2, NavController, and badges.
Download the playground app from Google Play, with this app you can try out all features and even generate XML with your selected configuration.
This library is available on Maven Central, install it by adding the following dependency to your build.gradle:
implementation 'nl.joery.animatedbottombar:library:1.1.0'Versions 1.0.x can only be used with jCenter, versions 1.1.x and up can be used with Maven Central.
Define AnimatedBottomBar in your XML layout with custom attributes.
<nl.joery.animatedbottombar.AnimatedBottomBar android:id="@+id/bottom_bar" android:background="#FFF" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" app:abb_selectedTabType="text" app:abb_indicatorAppearance="round" app:abb_indicatorMargin="16dp" app:abb_indicatorHeight="4dp" app:abb_tabs="@menu/tabs" app:abb_selectedIndex="1" />Create a file named tabs.xml in the res/menu/ resources folder:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:id="@+id/tab_home" android:icon="@drawable/home" android:title="@string/home" /> <item android:id="@+id/tab_alarm" android:icon="@drawable/alarm" android:title="@string/alarm" /> <item android:id="@+id/tab_bread" android:icon="@drawable/bread" android:title="@string/bread" /> <item android:id="@+id/tab_cart" android:icon="@drawable/cart" android:title="@string/cart" /> </menu>Get notified when the selected tab changes by setting callbacks:
bottom_bar.onTabSelected = { Log.d("bottom_bar", "Selected tab: " + it.title) } bottom_bar.onTabReselected = { Log.d("bottom_bar", "Reselected tab: " + it.title) }Or set a listener if you need more detailed information:
bottom_bar.setOnTabSelectListener(object : AnimatedBottomBar.OnTabSelectListener { override fun onTabSelected( lastIndex: Int, lastTab: AnimatedBottomBar.Tab?, newIndex: Int, newTab: AnimatedBottomBar.Tab ) { Log.d("bottom_bar", "Selected index: $newIndex, title: ${newTab.title}") } // An optional method that will be fired whenever an already selected tab has been selected again. override fun onTabReselected(index: Int, tab: AnimatedBottomBar.Tab) { Log.d("bottom_bar", "Reselected index: $index, title: ${tab.title}") } })Short overview on how to manage tabs using code.
// Creating a tab by passing values val bottomBarTab1 = AnimatedBottomBar.createTab(drawable, "Tab 1") // Creating a tab by passing resources val bottomBarTab2 = AnimatedBottomBar.createTab(R.drawable.ic_home, R.string.tab_2, R.id.tab_home)// Adding a tab at the end AnimatedBottomBar.addTab(bottomBarTab1) // Add a tab at a specific position AnimatedBottomBar.addTabAt(1, bottomBarTab2)// Removing a tab by object reference val tabToRemove = AnimatedBottomBar.tabs[1] AnimatedBottomBar.removeTab(tabToRemove) // Removing a tab at a specific position AnimatedBottomBar.removeTabAt(tabPosition) // Removing a tab by the given ID resource AnimatedBottomBar.removeTabById(R.id.tab_home)// Selecting a tab by object reference val tabToSelect = AnimatedBottomBar.tabs[1] AnimatedBottomBar.selectTab(tabToSelect) // Selecting a tab at a specific position AnimatedBottomBar.selectTabAt(1) // Selecting a tab by the given ID resource AnimatedBottomBar.selectTabById(R.id.tab_home)// Disabling a tab by object reference val tabToDisable = AnimatedBottomBar.tabs[1] AnimatedBottomBar.setTabEnabled(tabToDisable, false) // Use true for re-enabling the tab // Disabling a tab at a specific position AnimatedBottomBar.setTabEnabledAt(1, false) // Disabling a tab by the given ID resource AnimatedBottomBar.setTabEnabledById(R.id.tab_home, false)This could be useful for example restricting access to a premium area. You can use a callback or a more detailed listener:
bottom_bar.onTabIntercepted = { if (newTab.id == R.id.tab_pro_feature && !hasProVersion) { // e.g. show a dialog false } true }Detailed listener:
bottom_bar.setOnTabInterceptListener(object : AnimatedBottomBar.OnTabInterceptListener { override fun onTabIntercepted( lastIndex: Int, lastTab: AnimatedBottomBar.Tab?, newIndex: Int, newTab: AnimatedBottomBar.Tab ): Boolean { if (newTab.id == R.id.tab_pro_feature && !hasProVersion) { // e.g. show a dialog return false } return true } })Instructions on how to set badges for tabs, a AnimatedBottomBar.Badge object should be supplied to the BottomBar, note that it is also possible to add badges without text.
// Adding a badge by tab reference val tabToAddBadgeAt = AnimatedBottomBar.tabs[1] AnimatedBottomBar.setBadgeAtTab(tabToAddBadgeAt, AnimatedBottomBar.Badge("99")) // Adding a badge at a specific position AnimatedBottomBar.setBadgeAtTabIndex(1, AnimatedBottomBar.Badge("99")) // Adding a badge at the given ID resource AnimatedBottomBar.setBadgeAtTabId(R.id.tab_home, AnimatedBottomBar.Badge("99"))// Removing a badge by tab reference val tabToRemoveBadgeFrom = AnimatedBottomBar.tabs[1] AnimatedBottomBar.clearBadgeAtTab(tabToRemoveBadgeFrom) // Removing a badge at a specific position AnimatedBottomBar.clearBadgeAtTabIndex(1, AnimatedBottomBar.Badge("99")) // removing a badge at the given ID resource AnimatedBottomBar.clearBadgeAtTabId(R.id.tab_home, AnimatedBottomBar.Badge("99"))Additionally there is also the possibility to individually style badges.
AnimatedBottomBar.Badge( text = "99", backgroundColor = Color.RED, textColor = Color.GREEN, textSize = 12.spPx // in pixels )It is easy to use the BottomBar with a ViewPager or ViewPager2, you can simply use the setupWithViewPager() method. Please note that the number of tabs and ViewPager pages need to be identical in order for it to function properly.
Usage
// For ViewPager use: bottom_bar.setupWithViewPager(yourViewPager) // For ViewPager2 use: bottom_bar.setupWithViewPager2(yourViewPager2)An overview of all configuration options. All options can also be accessed and set programmatically, by their equivalent name.
