Usage

Really simple as I wrote earlier

Firstly, you should declare your view in xml file

    <github.com.st235.lib_expandablebottombar.ExpandableBottomBar
        android:id="@+id/expandable_bottom_bar"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="20dp"
        app:exb_backgroundCornerRadius="25dp"
        app:exb_backgroundColor="#2e2e2e"
        app:exb_itemInactiveColor="#fff"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />

Then you should add menu items to your navigation component

        val bottomBar: ExpandableBottomBar = findViewById(R.id.expandable_bottom_bar)

        bottomBar.addItems(
                ExpandableBottomBarMenuItem.Builder(context = this)
                        .addItem(R.id.icon_home, R.drawable.ic_bug, R.string.text, Color.GRAY)
                        .addItem(R.id.icon_go, R.drawable.ic_gift, R.string.text2, 0xFFFF77A9)
                        .addItem(R.id.icon_left, R.drawable.ic_one, R.string.text3, 0xFF58A5F0)
                        .addItem(R.id.icon_right, R.drawable.ic_two, R.string.text4, 0xFFBE9C91)
                        .build()
        )

        bottomBar.onItemSelectedListener = { view, menuItem ->
            /**
             * handle menu item clicks here,
             * but clicks on already selected item will not affect this callback
             */
        }
        
        bottomBar.onItemReselectedListener = { view, menuItem ->
            /**
             * handle here all the click in already selected items
             */
        }

Xml menu declaration

If your menu is constantly, you may specify it from xml

Firstly, you should declare menu items in xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/home"
        android:title="@string/text"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_home"
        app:exb_color="#FF8888" />

    <item
        android:id="@+id/settings"
        android:title="@string/text4"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings"
        app:exb_color="@color/colorSettings" />

    <item
        android:id="@+id/bookmarks"
        android:title="@string/text3"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_bookmarks"
        app:exb_color="#fa2 />
</menu>

each item tag has following attributes:

property	type	description
id	reference	an id of menu item
exb_color	reference/color	color of element, it may be color reference or color
icon	reference	icon reference (vector drawables supported)
title	reference/text	item title

Just like any Android menu 😉

Then you should reference this xml file at the view attributes

    <github.com.st235.lib_expandablebottombar.ExpandableBottomBar
        android:id="@+id/expandable_bottom_bar"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="20dp"
        app:exb_backgroundCornerRadius="25dp"
        app:exb_itemInactiveColor="#fff"
        app:exb_items="@menu/bottom_bar"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />

Xml attributes

property	type	description
exb_elevation	dimen	component elevation (important: api 21+)
exb_backgroundColor	color	bottom bar background color
exb_transitionDuration	integer	time between one item collapsed and another item expanded
exb_backgroundCornerRadius	dimen	bottom bar background corners radius
exb_itemInactiveColor	color	item menu color, when its inactive
exb_itemBackgroundCornerRadius	dimen	item background corner radius
exb_itemBackgroundOpacity	float	item background opacity (important: final color alpha calculates by next formulae alpha = opacity * 255)
exb_item_vertical_margin	dimen	top & bottom item margins
exb_item_horizontal_margin	dimen	left & right item margins
exb_item_vertical_padding	dimen	top & bottom item padding
exb_item_horizontal_padding	dimen	left & right item padding
exb_items	reference	xml supported menu format

Navigation Components support

Usually Drawer or BottomNavigationView attached to navigation controller with NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(view, navController), but this system is not applicable to customview components. That's why ExpandableBottomBar offers it's own ExpandableBottomBarNavigationUI

To attach ExpandableBottomBar to your navigation components you should use the same approach

    ExpandableBottomBarNavigationUI.setupWithNavController(bottomNavigation, navigationController)

Coordinator Layout support

Do you waiting for Coordinator Layout support - and it is already here! Fabs and Snackbars aligned by bottom bar! Hooray 🎉

Available without registration and SMS, starting from 0.8 version. Seriously, everything is already working out of the box - nothing needs to be done.

But... if you need to support hiding the menu by list/grid scroll - then you are really lucky!

This functionality is very simple to implement. You need to redeclare custom Coordinator Layout Behavoir to ExpandableBottomBarScrollableBehavior.

    <github.com.st235.lib_expandablebottombar.ExpandableBottomBar
            android:id="@+id/expandable_bottom_bar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom"
            app:layout_behavior="github.ghproxy.top.st235.lib_expandablebottombar.behavior.ExpandableBottomBarScrollableBehavior"
            app:items="@menu/bottom_bar" />

Really easy ;D

After integration this behavior should looks like:
