item selected color in android BottomNavigationView

Question

I refer this. Schedules Activity is appeared when I click Schedules, but first item color (Favorites) is always selected. It doesn\'t change Schedules item color from Favorites

Answer 1

In my situation, I used BottomNavigationBarEx plugin. So, I had to do it like below:

In my res/layout/layout_navigation_view.xml:

Added app:itemIconTint="@drawable/bottom_nav_colors". Since, I only used icons. So if you have text add this: app:itemTextColor="@drawable/bottom_nav_colors" also.

Then in res/drawable directory (because selectors need to include in drawable or animatable directory) add the selector(as others mentioned):

Then in res/values/colors.xml add your select and unselect colors, as ex:

#bfbfbf
#3F51B5
