karthyks / BottomBarNavigation

Android material design specific Bottom Navigation Bar library

BottomBarNavigation

Android design pattern based BottomBarNavigation

Android specific bottom bar navigation should be based on some specification, which is described in Google's site (mentioned below)
https://www.google.com/design/spec/components/bottom-navigation.html

Objective

To create a library for android projects, to easily implement the bottom bar navigation

Current Version:

• Can add upto 3 buttons in the bottom bar
• Can change colors of the bottom bar and bottom bar button texts

Future versions:

• Add a class to create a button drawable, requires only a drawable_icon and color of the normal and pressed state
• Configure to add more than 3 buttons in the bottom bar
• Make the integration of the library much simpler and generic

Gradle

  
    compile 'com.github.karthyks:bottombarnavigation:0.1'
  

or

Integration:

Import as a module into your android project.

Add dependency in your gradle

build.gradle :

  
  compile project(':bottomBarNavigation')
  

check in settings.gradle :

  
  include ':yourprojectname', ':bottomBarNavigation'
  

Add BottomBar in your preferred layout :

```xml ```

In your activity class :

  
    bottomBarView = (BottomBarView) view.findViewById(R.id.bottom_bar);
    bottomBarView.setBgColor(Color.GRAY);
  

create a layout xml and add buttons in it

include_bottom_bar_buttons.xml

```xml

<com.github.karthyks.bottombarnavigation.views.BottomBarButton
    android:id="@+id/btn_2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

<com.github.karthyks.bottombarnavigation.views.BottomBarButton
    android:id="@+id/btn_3"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

```

Then add the buttons to your bottomBarView in your activity :

  
    bottomBarView.addAsChild(R.layout.include_bottom_bar_buttons);
  

Finally build your custom buttons

  
  private void buildBottomBarButtons() {
    btn1.setButtonDrawables(int DrawableNormal, int DrawablePressed)
        .setButtonText("BUTTON_TEXT")
        .setTextColors(int colorNormal, int colorPressed)
        .setBgColor(Color.GRAY)
        .build();
    btn2.setButtonDrawables(int DrawableNormal, int DrawablePressed)
        .setButtonText("BUTTON_TEXT")
        .setTextColors(int colorNormal, int colorPressed)
        .setBgColor(Color.GRAY)
        .build();
    btn3.setButtonDrawables(int DrawableNormal, int DrawablePressed)
        .setButtonText("BUTTON_TEXT")
        .setTextColors(int colorNormal, int colorPressed)
        .setBgColor(Color.GRAY)
        .build();
    btn1.setOnClickListener(this);
    btn2.setOnClickListener(this);
    btn3.setOnClickListener(this);
  }
  

*** Note ***

Changes are appreciated

Feel free to fork your changes in the library.Since this is my first library project, I am sure there will be a lot of suggestions from Geekies.
