Chip Navigation Bar

A navigation bar widget inspired on Google Bottom Navigation mixed with Chips component.

Usage

<!-- bottom_menu.xml -->
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/home"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_home"
        android:title="Home"
        app:cnb_ic/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/activity"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_activity"
        android:title="Activity"
        app:cnb_ic/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/favorites"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_heart"
        android:title="Favorites"
        app:cnb_ic />
    <item
        android:id="@+id/settings"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings"
        android:title="Settings"
        app:cnb_ic />
</menu>

<!-- layout.xml --> <com.ismaeldivita.chipnavigation.ChipNavigationBar android:layoutwidth="matchparent" android:layoutheight="wrapcontent" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:background="@color/white" app:cnbmenuResource="@menu/bottommenu" />


Vertical orientation

ChipNavigationBar supports a vertical orientation mode. This is very useful for tablets or devices with large screens.

Just add the attribute cnb_orientationMode to your xml:

<com.ismaeldivita.chipnavigation.ChipNavigationBar     android:id="@+id/bottom_menu"     android:layoutwidth="wrapcontent"     android:layoutheight="matchparent"     app:cnb_menuResource="@menu/test"     app:cnb_orientati />
... or programmatically call the method setMenuOrientation before inflate the menu:
menu.setMenuOrientation(MenuOrientation.VERTICAL) menu.setMenuResource(R.menu.my_menu)

>Note: The view exposes methods to expand and collapse the menu but we don't provide the implementation for the toggle button. Check the sample for a basic implementation.


Badges

The library supports badges on the menu items.

menu.showBadge(R.id.menu_home) 
menu.showBadge(R.id.menu_activity, 8)
menu.showBadge(R.id.menu_favorites, 88)
menu.showBadge(R.id.settings, 10000)
