I am currently working with BottomNavigationView and floating action button.
What i want to achieve is this:
And what i have tried:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout 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"
app:layout_insetEdge="bottom"
tools:context=".activity.BottomNavPrimary">
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center|bottom" />
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/bottomNavPrimary"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
app:layout_insetEdge="bottom"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_primary"></android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Your design looks as if you want to use the new BottomAppBar
from the MaterialComponents
that will fully be release with Android P. Especially if the left icon stands for a kind of side navigation it could be the right navigation element.
However, you have to be aware, that the elements on the left and right of the FAB have a different purpose than a bottom navigation. Instead of being entry points to "primary destinations" in an app, the BottomAppBar
is defined as:
A bottom app bar displays navigation and key actions at the bottom of mobile screens.
So it is for page actions (like opening the dashboard or search). More explanation can be found in the design documentation.
I haven't had a chance to implement it yet (because I really needed it with a bottom navigation), but here is the code documentation example:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- Other components and views -->
<com.google.android.material.bottomappbar.BottomAppBar
android:id="@+id/bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
app:navigationIcon="@drawable/ic_menu_24"/>
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_anchor="@id/bar"/>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
So to me, it sounds as if you define your two page menu options and since the FAB is anchored to the bar it will push them to the sides.
The documentation also includes options for the optional FAB cradle that was shown during this year's Google I/O and shows how to handle menu and click handling.
Here is another useful link on how to set up gradle to include the new material components in your project.
You could wrap your BottomNavigationView
and your FloatingActionButton
in a ConstraintLayout
and use the following constraints on the FloatingActionButton
:
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/bottomNavPrimary"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/bottomNavPrimary"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@id/bottomNavPrimary"
app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@id/bottomNavPrimary"
This will center your FloatingActionButton
vertically and horizontally relative to your BottomnavigationView
I hope that is what you asked for.
Final code would look something like this:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/bottomNavPrimary"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/bottomNavPrimary"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@id/bottomNavPrimary"
app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@id/bottomNavPrimary"/>
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/bottomNavPrimary"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="parent"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_primary" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
I used this, to get something similar.
BottomNavigationView + FloatingActionButton
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/floating_button"
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.FloatingActionButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="end"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
app:backgroundTint="@color/colorPrimaryLight"
app:elevation="@dimen/padding_10"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/navigation"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@id/navigation"
app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@id/navigation"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/navigation"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@id/navigation"
app:layout_insetEdge="bottom"
app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_add_black_24dp"
app:tint="@color/colorPrimary" />
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="@color/colorPrimaryDark"
android:visibility="visible"
app:itemIconTint="@drawable/bottom_navigation_icons"
app:itemTextColor="@drawable/bottom_navigation_icons"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:menu="@menu/navigation" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
I think you can do this with bottomAppBar and embed some button inside that like below
<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.google.android.material.bottomappbar.BottomAppBar
android:id="@+id/bottom_app_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
app:backgroundTint="@color/colorPrimary"
app:fabAlignmentMode="center"
app:fabAttached="true"
app:fabCradleDiameter="8dp"
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.BottomAppBar"
app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/btnReport"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:src="@drawable/ic_play"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:paddingRight="20dp"
/>
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/btnPlayWords"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:src="@drawable/ic_show_chart"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</com.google.android.material.bottomappbar.BottomAppBar>
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fabAddWord"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/ic_add"
app:layout_anchor="@id/bottom_app_bar" />
</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
