BottomNavigationView display both icons and text labels at all times
android, android-support-design, android-support-library, bottomnavigationview
Solution
For anyone still looking for a solution and doesn't want to rely on third party libraries or runtime reflection, BottomNavigationView in Support Library 28/Jetpack natively supports always having text label.
This is the method you're looking for.
Or in XML, `app:labelVisibilityMode="labeled"`
Problem
I am using android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView from design support library version 25 ``` compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.0' <android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView android:id="@+id/bottomBar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_gravity="center" app:itemBackground="@color/colorPrimary" app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_main" android:forceHasOverlappingRendering="true"/> ``` When there are only three actions in @menu/bottom_navigation_main, it displays both icons and text labels at all times. What is the way to display both icons and text labels at all the time when there are more than three actions.
