Android bottomNavigationView Styling by Theme
0
I want my users to be able to change the (color) theme of my App. So we create multiple themes.
<resources>
<!-- First Theme -->
<style name="themeOne" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/themeOneColorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/themeOneColorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/themeOneAccent</item>
<item name="android:background">@color/themeOneBackground</item>
...
</style>
<!-- Second Theme -->
<style name="themeTwo" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
...
</style>
Now I want to change the looks of the BottomNavigationView. But cannot find an example on how to do so.
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/nav_bottom"
app:menu="@menu/nav_bottom"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
But I want to set the following depending on the Theme:
app:itemBackground="@color/colorPrimary"
app:itemIconTint="@color/white"
app:itemTextColor="@color/white"

I believe this should work
<style name="BottomNavTheme" parent="Widget.Design.BottomNavigationView">
<item name="app:itemBackground">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="app:itemIconTint=">@color/white</item>
<item name="app:itemTextColor=">@color/white</item>
</style>
Then add to your XML
android:theme="@style/BottomNavTheme"
You can also use to Java change the style of the items individually for example
private Menu myMenu;
BottomNavigationView menu = findViewById(R.id.your_menu_id);
myMenu = menu.getMenu();
myMenu.findItem(R.id.your_menu_item_id).setIcon(R.drawable.your_new_icon);
myMenu.findItem(R.id.your_menu_item_id).setTitle("some text");
