The last item of RecyclerView being overlapped by BottomNavigationView

Answer 1

Add padding to the parent layout of RecyclerView

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout ...
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="56dp"
    tools:context=".Fragments.NewsFragment"
    android:background="#fff">

And change the height of BottomNavigationView according to Material Design

<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
    android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="56dp"
    android:background="#fff"
    app:labelVisibilityMode="unlabeled"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_menu" />

Answer 2

You should attach the container view where you load your fragments to the top of the bottom navigation view. This way, if you load anything in the container view it won't go under the bottom navigation view.

app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"

this part of the code, inside your frame layout, should be

app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/bottom_navigation_view"

Just use the constraint layout you already have, remove the bottom constraint from the frame layout and attach it to the top of bottomNavigationView!
