BottomNavigationCircles-Android

Maintenance

With the release of Material Design 3.0 I don't find it relevant to support this plugin any longer. It doesn't really fit the new guidelines so this package will only recieve minimal mainenance that will mostly include minor bug fixes. I consider it to be stable and usable in it's current state.

Instalation

Add jitpack.io in your top-level build.gradle:

allprojects {
        repositories {
                ...
                maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        }
}

Add the dependency:

dependencies {
        implementation 'com.github.Kwasow:BottomNavigationCircles-Android:<Version Tag>'
}

Available versions:

Release	Version Tag	Comment
legacy	1.0	material [version <= 1.3.0]
stable	1.2	material [version >= 1.4.0]
beta	1.1-beta6	material [version >= 1.4.0]

Usage

Just add the view to your layout:

<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent">

    <com.github.kwasow.bottomnavigationcircles.BottomNavigationCircles
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
        app:menu="@menu/menu_bottom_navigation_bar"/>

</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

The view is an extension to the material.io BottomNavigationView, and implements all it's functions. The following custom properties are available:

navigationView.circleColor = Color.RED
navigationView.darkIcon = true
navigationView.backgroundShape = BottomNavigationView.Shape.RoundedRectangle

Or through XML:

app:circleColor="@color/red"
app:darkIcon="true"
app:backgroundShape="circle|roundedRectangle"
app:customBackgroundShape="@drawable/bg_custom"

The recommended size for custom backgrounds is 24dp by 24dp.
