If you use BottomNavigationView
within CoordinatorLayout
, you will realize BottomNavigationView
will overlap or cover part of the content layout at the bottom.
My prefered solution at the moment is using a RelativeLayout
to wrap around CoordinatorLayout
(compared to using CoordinatorLayout
as root), based on proposal by chet.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_above="@+id/navigation">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<!-- Use this to hide appbar on scroll - app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" -->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<!-- this could be a RecyclerView or NestedScrollView -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
>
</FrameLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
app:tint="@android:color/white"
app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_photo_camera_black_24dp" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:menu="@menu/navigation"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Some suggested putting android:layout_marginBottom="56dp"
(height of BottomNavigationView
is 56dp
) to content layout/recyclerview, but this assumption might not always stay true. Alternatively, we can get BottomNavigationView
at runtime and adjust it accordingly.
Some suggested using app:layout_dodgeInsetEdges
in content layout and app:layout_insetEdge
in BottomNavigationView
, but this solution cases the top portion of content overlapped by AppBarLayout
(probably conflict with app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
).
Some suggested putting BottomNavigationView
and RecylerView
in content layout (which implement app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
) to avoid overlapping. The side effected is when Toolbar
implement app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
, it will cause BottomNavigationView
to be hidden when scroll down.
