Setup in Code for Jetpack Navigation Support:

1. First of all, you need to pass activeIndex and which is bottom index only :(Without this it is 0 by default, here I passed 2 means it will start with 2nd position)

val activeIndex = savedInstanceState?.getInt("activeIndex") ?: 2

2. In your onCreate() of Activity create a list of CbnMenuItem that you want to appear in the SSCustomBottomNavigation.

3. Then pass the list to the setMenuItems() function that also takes activeIndex(which is 0 by default, and you need to pass specific index if you don't want to start with 0 position) from which you can control which position item should be active when it is initialized.

private fun setBottomNavigationWithNavController(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
	
        val activeIndex = savedInstanceState?.getInt("activeIndex") ?: 2

        val navController = findNavController(R.id.nav_host_fragment)
        // Passing each menu ID as a set of Ids because each
        // menu should be considered as top level destinations.
        val appBarConfiguration = AppBarConfiguration(
            setOf(
                R.id.navigation_home,
                R.id.navigation_favorite,
                R.id.navigation_chat,
                R.id.navigation_notifications,
                R.id.navigation_profile
            )
        )
        setupActionBarWithNavController(navController, appBarConfiguration)
        
        val menuItems = arrayOf(
            Model(
                icon = R.drawable.ic_home,                // Icon
                destinationId = R.id.navigation_home,     // destinationID
                id = 0,                // ID
                text = R.string.title_home,               // Icon with Text, If you don't want text then don't pass it
                count = R.string.empty_value              // notification count if you want to show then pass specific count else pass R.string.empty_value or don't pass anything
            ),
            Model(
                icon = R.drawable.ic_favorite_border_black,
                destinationId = R.id.navigation_favorite,
                id = 1,
                text = R.string.title_favorite
                                                          // notification count not needed here so, not passed
            ),
            Model(
                R.drawable.ic_message,
                R.id.navigation_chat,
                2,
                R.string.title_chat,
                R.string.empty_value
            ),
            Model(
                R.drawable.ic_notification,
                R.id.navigation_notifications,
                3,
                R.string.title_notifications,
                R.string.count
            ),
            Model(
                R.drawable.ic_account,
                R.id.navigation_profile,
                4,
                R.string.title_profile,
                R.string.empty_value
            )
        )

        binding.bottomNavigation.apply {
            setMenuItems(menuItems, activeIndex)
            setupWithNavController(navController)
        }

    }

Handling Navigation with Listener

To listen whenever the menu item is clicked you can pass a lambda to setOnMenuItemClickListener.

binding.navView.setOnMenuItemClickListener { cbnMenuItem, index -> 
    // handle your own navigation here
}

Handling Navigation with Jetpack Navigation

If you are like :heart: Jetpack then there is a method called setupWithNavController() that accepts NavController and will handle the navigaiton for you. Just don't forget to pass the id of the destination when you are creating CbnMenuItem.

binding.navView.setupWithNavController(navController)

Manually setting the active item

If you need to manually set the active item you can call the onMenuItemClick() function and pass the index that you would like to be selected.

binding.navView.onMenuItemClick(4)

Manually change notification count

• If you want to change notification count manually or after bottom navigation initialization done call the setCount() function and pass the index and updated count.

setCount(4, R.string.count_update)

Handling configuration changes

• Due to animations, you need to manually handle the configuration changes. You can refer to the sample app for simple implementation.

Setup in Code for without Jetpack Navigation Support(Normal way):

Old way : (2.1 version)

binding.bottomNavigation.apply {

	add(
		SSCustomBottomNavigation.Model(
			ID_HOME, 
			R.drawable.ic_home, 
			"Home"
		)
	)
	add(
		SSCustomBottomNavigation.Model(
			ID_EXPLORE, 
			R.drawable.ic_heart, 
			"Favorite"
		)
	)
	add(
		SSCustomBottomNavigation.Model(
			ID_MESSAGE, 
			R.drawable.ic_message, 
			"Chat"
		)
	)
	add(
		SSCustomBottomNavigation.Model(
			ID_NOTIFICATION,
			R.drawable.ic_notification,
			"Notification"
		)
	)
}

New Way: (If you use latest version then you need to change your implementation) (>= 3.0 version)

companion object {
	private const val ID_HOME = 0
	private const val ID_EXPLORE = 1
	private const val ID_MESSAGE = 2
	private const val ID_NOTIFICATION = 3
	private const val ID_ACCOUNT = 4
}

private fun setBottomNavigationInNormalWay(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {

	val activeIndex = savedInstanceState?.getInt("activeIndex") ?: ID_MESSAGE

	binding.bottomNavigation.apply {

		// If you don't pass activeIndex then by pass 0 here or call setSelectedIndex function only
		// setSelectedIndex()        // It will take 0 by default
		setSelectedIndex(activeIndex)

		add(
			Model(
				icon = R.drawable.ic_home,
				id = ID_HOME,
				text = R.string.title_home,
			)
		)
		add(
			Model(
				icon = R.drawable.ic_favorite_border_black,
				id = ID_EXPLORE,
				text = R.string.title_favorite,
				count = R.s
