I am trying to show a fragment host above bottom navigation view. But bottom nav view takes a portion of the fragment host. I tried solutions of other SO answers but it still not solving the problem. I used both Relative layout with 'layout_above' attribute and constraint layout with realted attributes to keep the fragment above bottom nav view. But the fragment show the text view is still cut off by bottom nav view.
Heres the xml codes I tried: With relative layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize">
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginStart="0dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="0dp"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_menu" />
<fragment
android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="@id/nav_host_fragment"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:navGraph="@navigation/mobile_navigation" />
</RelativeLayout>
with constaint layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize">
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="0dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="0dp"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_menu" />
<fragment
android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/nav_view"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:navGraph="@navigation/mobile_navigation" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
How do I set the fragment host above bottom navigation view with xml?
In this example, create a fragment for each item and navigate to them whenever a corresponding item is clicked. Since we created three items in the Bottom Navigation Bar, we will be creating three Fragments. To create a Fragment, click on the app(right-click) -> New -> Fragment -> Fragment (Blank).
↳ com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView. Represents a standard bottom navigation bar for application. It is an implementation of material design bottom navigation. Bottom navigation bars make it easy for users to explore and switch between top-level views in a single tap.
Try using linear layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<fragment
android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:navGraph="@navigation/mobile_navigation" />
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="0dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="0dp"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_menu" />
</LinearLayout>
