I have been experimenting with the new BottomNavigationView and trying to customise it.
So far I have managed to change the height and margins by using the below:
<dimen name="design_bottom_navigation_height" tools:override="true">75dp</dimen>
<dimen name="design_bottom_navigation_margin" tools:override="true">5dp</dimen>
I want to increase the size of the icons.
How can this be done?
Compile Version: com.android.support:design:25.0.1
The icon size is hardcoded to 24dp in the item layout (see design_bottom_navigation_item.xml) and can be changed programmatically:
BottomNavigationView bottomNavigationView = (BottomNavigationView) configurationActivity.findViewById(R.id.bottom_navigation_view);
BottomNavigationMenuView menuView = (BottomNavigationMenuView) bottomNavigationView.getChildAt(0);
for (int i = 0; i < menuView.getChildCount(); i++) {
final View iconView = menuView.getChildAt(i).findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.icon);
final ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = iconView.getLayoutParams();
final DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
layoutParams.height = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 32, displayMetrics);
layoutParams.width = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 32, displayMetrics);
iconView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
}
Late but Latest
Use implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
Design Support Library.
There is an property to change Icon Size:
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
app:itemIconSize="@dimen/_26sdp"
....
....
</android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView>
Programmatically:
dashboardNavigation.setItemIconSize(24);
Thank you.
