Force showing icon and title in BottomNavigationView support android
After adding 4 items in my menu.xml file for the BottomNavigationView it shows only selected item title and hides all other titles. Can I force showing the title and the icon. here is my code.
<?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">
<item
android:id="@+id/action_home"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_home_24dp"
android:title="@string/text_home"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
<item
android:id="@+id/action_category"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_grid_24dp"

Answer
Try this code,
activity_main.xml :
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:design="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/activity_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="com.segunfamisa.sample.bottomnav.MainActivity">
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#f1f1f1">
</FrameLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start"
design:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_items" />
</LinearLayout>
fragment_menu.xml :
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/fragment_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.segunfamisa.sample.bottomnav.MenuFragment">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"
android:gravity="center"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Make this file inside menu folder,
bottom_nav_items.xml :
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="@+id/action_home"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_map"
android:title="One"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/action_category"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_info"
android:title="Two"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/action_me"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email"
android:title="Three"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/action_setting"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_popup_reminder"
android:title="Four"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
</menu>

updateToolbarText(item.getTitle());
if (frag != null) {

}

if (actionBar != null) {
actionBar.setTitle(text);
}
}
private int getColorFromRes(@ColorRes int resId) {
return ContextCompat.getColor(this, resId);
}
MenuFragment.java :
public class MenuFragment extends Fragment {
private static final String ARG_TEXT = "arg_text";
private static final String ARG_COLOR = "arg_color";
private String mText;
private int mColor;
private View mContent;
private TextView mTextView;
public static Fragment newInstance(String text, int color) {
Fragment frag = new MenuFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString(ARG_TEXT, text);
args.putInt(ARG_COLOR, color);
frag.setArguments(args);
return frag;
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_menu, container, false);
}
@Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
// retrieve text and color from bundle or savedInstanceState
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
Bundle args = getArguments();
mText = args.getString(ARG_TEXT);
mColor = args.getInt(ARG_COLOR);
} else {
mText = savedInstanceState.getString(ARG_TEXT);
mColor = savedInstanceState.getInt(ARG_COLOR);
}
// initialize views
mContent = view.findViewById(R.id.fragment_content);
mTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.text);
// set text and background color
mTextView.setText(mText);
mContent.setBackgroundColor(mColor);
}
@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
outState.putString(ARG_TEXT, mText);
outState.putInt(ARG_COLOR, mColor);
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}
}
whatever you need to do is just disable BottomNavigationView Shift mode, using this method in you code.
public static void disableShiftMode(BottomNavigationView view) {
BottomNavigationMenuView menuView = (BottomNavigationMenuView) view.getChildAt(0);
try {
Field shiftingMode = menuView.getClass().getDeclaredField("mShiftingMode");
shiftingMode.setAccessible(true);
shiftingMode.setBoolean(menuView, false);
shiftingMode.setAccessible(false);
for (int i = 0; i < menuView.getChildCount(); i++) {
BottomNavigationItemView item = (BottomNavigationItemView) menuView.getChildAt(i);
item.setShiftingMode(false);
// set once again checked value, so view will be updated
item.setChecked(item.getItemData().isChecked());
}
} catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
//Timber.e(e, "Unable to get shift mode field");
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
//Timber.e(e, "Unable to change value of shift mode");
}
}
call this method like this,
mBottomNav = (BottomNavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation);
disableShiftMode(mBottomNav);
It will work.I am attaching screenshot here,
