Start fragment in BottomNavigationView

Question

I\'m working with a simple app with Bottom Navigation View. I have 3 fragment with text, and i want to start their when i select a item in Botton Navigation, but i don\'t kn

Answer 1

Firstly, in your activity_main.xml we don't require 3 different fragments as we can replace or add our any selected Fragment in 1 FrameLayout only. Secondly, when ever the user select any one from the Bottom NavigationView just get an instance of the related Fragment class and replace it with your activity_main's FrameLayout .

Fragment selectedFragment = null;
         switch (item.getItemId()) {
               case R.id.navigation_home:
                   selectedFragment = FunFragment.newInstance();
                   break;

after getting the instance of the selected Fragment replace it with you activity_main's FrameLayout as to show on the screen.

FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
            transaction.replace(R.id.content, selectedFragment);
            transaction.commit();

EDIT TAG Step 1. your activity_main.xml should look like this

Step 2. Your fragment_home.xml layout should be like this

Make 3 different fragment layout for your three different options

Step 3. your MainActivity.java class will be like this

private BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener mOnNavigationItemSelectedListener
                = new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
                Fragment selectedFragment = null;
                switch (item.getItemId()) {
                    case R.id.navigation_home:
                        selectedFragment = FunFragment.newInstance();
                       break;
                    case R.id.navigation_dashboard:
                        selectedFragment = TheoryFragment.newInstance();
                       break;
                    case R.id.navigation_notifications:
                        selectedFragment = AndroidFragment.newInstance();
                        break;
                }
                FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
                transaction.replace(R.id.content, selectedFragment);
                transaction.commit();
                return true;
            }
        };

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ButterKnife.bind(this);

        navigation.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(mOnNavigationItemSelectedListener);

        FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        transaction.replace(R.id.content, FunFragment.newInstance());
        transaction.commit();
    }

In on create replace with the fragment which you want to show after launching the application and navigation listener will take care of what ever option you will select

Step 4. Your will have 3 different Fragment class and look like this

public class TheoryFragment extends Fragment {

     public static TheoryFragment newInstance() {
            TheoryFragment fragment = new TheoryFragment();
            return fragment;
        }
     @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_theory, container, false);
            unbinder = ButterKnife.bind(this, rootView);
            return rootView;
        }
    }

Hope it will help you, let me know if any problem.
