Force showing icon and title in BottomNavigationView support android

After adding 4 items in my menu.xml file for the BottomNavigationView it shows only selected item title and hides all other titles. Can I force showing the title and the icon. here is my code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
    android:id="@+id/action_home"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_home_24dp"
    android:title="@string/text_home"
    app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_category"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_grid_24dp"
    android:title="@string/text_category"
    app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_me"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_me_24dp"
    android:title="@string/text_me"
    app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_setting"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_cog_24dp"
    android:title="@string/text_setting"
    app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
</menu>

<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
    android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:background="@android:color/white"
    android:elevation="6dp"

Starting on support library 28-alpha, we can use app:labelVisibilityMode attribute on BottomNavigation component. The value we can use, there are labeled, unlabeled, selected, and auto.

  • labeled will keep all labels visible.
  • unlabeled will show only icons.
  • selected will only show the label for the selected item and shift items.
  • auto will choose labeled or selected based on the number of items we have labeled for 1–3 items and selected for 3+ items.

This is some example of using it :

<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/mainBottomNav"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:elevation="@dimen/dimen_8dp"
        app:menu="@menu/bottom_menu"
        app:labelVisibilityMode="labeled"/>

It's just simply like this:

Kotlin

bottomNavigationView.labelVisibilityMode=LabelVisibilityMode.LABEL_VISIBILITY_LABELED

Java

bottomNavigationView.setLabelVisibilityMode(LabelVisibilityMode.LABEL_VISIBILITY_LABELED)

after support library 28.0.0, support LabelVisibilityMode.

xml config: app:labelVisibilityMode="labeled"

 <android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
          android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_margin="0dp"
          android:background="?bottom_tint_color"
          app:elevation="@dimen/padding_4"
          app:labelVisibilityMode="labeled"
          app:itemIconTint="?drawer_tint_color"
          app:itemTextColor="?drawer_tint_color"
          app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_lite"/>

or

you can call :

BottomNavigationView.setLabelVisibilityMode(LabelVisibilityMode.LABEL_VISIBILITY_LABELED);

Try this code,

activity_main.xml :

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:design="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/activity_main"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context="com.segunfamisa.sample.bottomnav.MainActivity">

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="#f1f1f1">

    </FrameLayout>

    <android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigation"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        design:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_items" />
</LinearLayout>

fragment_menu.xml :

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/fragment_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.segunfamisa.sample.bottomnav.MenuFragment">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:gravity="center"
        />

</RelativeLayout>

Make this file inside menu folder,

bottom_nav_items.xml :

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_home"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_map"
        android:title="One"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_category"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_info"
        android:title="Two"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_me"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email"
        android:title="Three"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_setting"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_popup_reminder"
        android:title="Four"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
</menu>

        outState.putInt(ARG_COLOR, mColor);
        super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    }
}

whatever you need to do is just disable BottomNavigationView Shift mode, using this method in you code.

public static void disableShiftMode(BottomNavigationView view) {
        BottomNavigationMenuView menuView = (BottomNavigationMenuView) view.getChildAt(0);
        try {
            Field shiftingMode = menuView.getClass().getDeclaredField("mShiftingMode");
            shiftingMode.setAccessible(true);
            shiftingMode.setBoolean(menuView, false);
            shiftingMode.setAccessible(false);
            for (int i = 0; i < menuView.getChildCount(); i++) {
                BottomNavigationItemView item = (BottomNavigationItemView) menuView.getChildAt(i);
                item.setShiftingMode(false);
                // set once again checked value, so view will be updated
                item.setChecked(item.getItemData().isChecked());
            }
        } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
            //Timber.e(e, "Unable to get shift mode field");
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            //Timber.e(e, "Unable to change value of shift mode");
        }
    }

call this method like this,

mBottomNav = (BottomNavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation);

        disableShiftMode(mBottomNav);

It will work.I am attaching screenshot here,

Above one i find a bit longer solution for this problem. I had a simpler solution for it.

Add this class in your app:

class BottomNavigationViewHelper {

@SuppressLint("RestrictedApi")
public static void removeShiftMode(BottomNavigationView view) {
    BottomNavigationMenuView menuView = (BottomNavigationMenuView) view.getChildAt(0);
    try {
        Field shiftingMode = menuView.getClass().getDeclaredField("mShiftingMode");
        shiftingMode.setAccessible(true);
        shiftingMode.setBoolean(menuView, false);
        shiftingMode.setAccessible(false);
        for (int i = 0; i < menuView.getChildCount(); i++) {
            BottomNavigationItemView item = (BottomNavigationItemView) menuView.getChildAt(i);
            item.setShiftingMode(false);
            // set once again checked value, so view will be updated
            item.setChecked(item.getItemData().isChecked());
        }

    } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
        Log.e("ERROR NO SUCH FIELD", "Unable to get shift mode field");
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
        Log.e("ERROR ILLEGAL ALG", "Unable to change value of shift mode");
    }
}

}

and then add this in your activity where bottomnavigationview is available

BottomNavigationViewHelper.removeShiftMode(bottomNavigationView);//disable BottomNavigationView shift mode

This will disable shifting mode of navigationview and text and icon will be shown always.
