# Bottom Navigation
![Bottom Navigation](assets/bottom-navigation.svg)
<!--{: .article__asset.article__asset--screenshot }-->
`BottomNavigationView` creates **bottom navigation** bars, making it easy to
explore and switch between top-level content views with a single tap.
This pattern can be used when you have between 3 and 5 top-level destinations to
navigate to.
## Design & API Documentation

## Usage
1. Create a
[menu resource](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/menu-resource.html)
with up to 5 navigation targets (`BottomNavigationView` does not support
more than 5 items).
2. Lay out your `BottomNavigationView` below your content.
3. Set the `app:menu` attribute on your `BottomNavigationView` to your menu
resource.
4. Listen for selection events using
`setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(...)`.
A typical layout file would look something like this:
```xml
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- Main content -->
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
app:itemIconTint="@color/white"
app:itemTextColor="@color/white"
app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_menu" />
</FrameLayout>
```
### Badges
![Bottom Navigation with badges](assets/bottom-navigation-badges.png)
`BottomNavigationView` supports displaying icon and number badges.
Initializes and shows a BadgeDrawable associated with menuItemId. Subsequent
calls to this method will reuse the existing BadgeDrawable.
```java
BadgeDrawable badge = bottomNavigationView.getOrCreateBadge(menuItemId);
badge.setVisible(true);
```
NOTE: Don't forget to remove any BadgeDrawables that are no longer needed.
```java
bottomNavigationView.removeBadge(menuItemId);
```
Best Practice: If you only need to temporarily hide the badge(e.g. until the next
notification is received), the recommended/lightweight alternative is to change
the visibility of the BadgeDrawable instead.
Please see [`BadgeDrawable`](BadgeDrawable.md) for details on how to update the
badge content being displayed.
### Handling States
The `app:itemIconTint` and `app:itemTextColor` take a
[ColorStateList](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/ColorStateList.html)
instead of a simple color. This means that you can write a `selector` for these
colors that responds to the items' state changes.
For example, you could have a `bottom_navigation_colors.xml` `ColorStateList`
that contains:
```xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_checked="true"
android:color="@color/colorPrimary" />
<item
android:state_checked="false"
android:color="@color/colorOnSurface" />
</selector>
```
And you would use it like this on your `BottomNavigationView`:
```xml
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.BottomNavigationView"
app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_menu" />
```
#### Material Styles
Using `BottomNavigationView` with an updated Material theme
(`Theme.MaterialComponents`) will provide the correct updated Material styles to
your `BottomNavigationView`s by default. If you need to use an updated
`BottomNavigationView` and your application theme does not inherit from an
updated Material theme, or if you'd like to use a variant style, you can apply
one of the updated Material styles directly to your widget in XML:
##### Updated Material Style (Default)
The default Material `BottomNavigationView` style consists of updated colors,
text sizing, and behavior. The default BottomNavigationView has white background
and icons and text colored with `colorPrimary`.
```
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.BottomNavigationView"
```
##### Colored Material Style
This style inherits from the default style but sets the colors to different
mappings. Use the colored style to get a bottom navigation bar with a
`colorPrimary` background and shades of white for the icon and text colors.
```
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.BottomNavigationView.Colored"
```
##### Legacy Style
You can set this style on your `BottomNavigationView` if you'd like a bottom
navigation bar with the old behavior. However, we recommend you use the updated
Material style where possible.
```
style="@style/Widget.Design.BottomNavigationView"
```
#### Theme Attribute Mapping
##### Updated Material Style (Default)
```
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.BottomNavigationView"
```
Component Attribute | Default Theme Attribute Value
----------------------------- | -------------------------------
`itemTextAppearanceActive` | `textAppearanceCaption`
`itemTextAppearanceInactive` | `textAppearanceCaption`
`android:background` | `colorSurface`
`itemIconTint` (checked) | `colorPrimary`
`itemIconTint` (not checked) | `colorOnSurface` at 60% opacity
`itemTextColor` (checked) | `colorPrimary`
`itemTextColor` (not checked) | `colorOnSurface` at 60% opacity
##### Colored Material Style
```
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.BottomNavigationView.Colored"
```
Component Attribute | Default Theme Attribute Value
----------------------------- | -------------------------------
`itemTextAppearanceActive` | `textAppearanceCaption`
`itemTextAppearanceInactive` | `textAppearanceCaption`
`android:background` | `colorPrimary`
`itemIconTint` (checked) | `colorOnPrimary`
`itemIconTint` (not checked) | `colorOnPrimary` at 60% opacity
`itemTextColor` (checked) | `colorOnPrimary`
`itemTextColor` (not checked) | `colorOnPrimary` at 60% opacity
##### Legacy Style
```
style="@style/Widget.Design.BottomNavigationView"
```
The legacy Material style of `BottomNavigationView` does not make use of our new
theming attributes.
## Related Concepts
There are other navigation patterns you should be aware of:
- [Hierarchical navigation](https://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/index.html).
*See also
[Navigation with Back and Up](https://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation.html).*
- Swipeable tabs using [TabLayout](TabLayout.md) and
[ViewPager](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/view/ViewPager.html).
- Using [NavigationView](NavigationView.md) to display a longer list of
navigation targets, usually in a navigation drawer.
