Add custom bottom navigation bar

[iamsh4shank]

As the app contains a normal navigation bar but we can change it to a custom navigation bar using some good libraries.

i think i can do this...can i try :)

[iamsh4shank]

Yeah sure @shivjyotigarai

[shivjyotigarai]

will the navigation drawer contain the Doctor, Dashboard and Hospital fragment @robustTechie

[iamsh4shank]

Yeah

hi @robustTechie I tried implementating a custom navigation drawer...by hiding the Action Bar in the main activity and using a toolbar for the same...but while implementating the design dependancies ie com.android.support:design:28.0.0 i am getting the following error

The following classes could not be found:
- android.support.design.widget.NavigationView (Fix Build Path, Edit XML, Create Class)
- android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout (Fix Build Path, Edit XML, Create Class)
- android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar (Fix Build Path, Edit XML, Create Class)

Due to this, the toolbar cant be implemented...plz look at it once :)...... Can it be done without hiding the Action Bar??

If i add the latest dependancy, com.android.support:design:28.0.0 its showing this

Version 28 (intended for Android Pie and below) is the last version of the legacy support library, so we recommend that you migrate to AndroidX libraries when using Android Q and moving forward. The IDE can help with this: Refactor > Migrate to AndroidX...

Hey @shivjyotigarai what I mean by custom bottom nav is, you can add some animations or change the shape of bottom nav

hi @robustTechie can u plz mention a few libraries that can be used...like I tried using the Chip Navigation Bar but it doesnt have a proper support to Navigation Controller hence couldnt use it

[iamsh4shank]

you can use any library similar to the chip navigation :)

[shivjyotigarai]

error: no suitable method found for setupWithNavController(ChipNavigationBar,NavController)
        NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(navView, navController);
                    ^
    method NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(Toolbar,NavController) is not applicable
      (argument mismatch; ChipNavigationBar cannot be converted to Toolbar)
    method NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(NavigationView,NavController) is not applicable
      (argument mismatch; ChipNavigationBar cannot be converted to NavigationView)
    method NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(BottomNavigationView,NavController) is not applicable
