BottomNavigationView Original icon color

Question

I have my bottomNavigationView :

And i added this class to prevent it from doing shiftingMode :

public class BottomNavigationViewHelper {
           


        

Answer 1

Our use case was a multicolored icon when the tab is active and a grey one when it is not. Setting itemIconTintList to null made the inactive tab icons have the same colors as the active ones when using the material component BottomNavigationView.

So we had to do this in addition:

menu_bottom_navigation.xml:

ic_first_tab_selector.xml:

Where ic_first_tab_inactive.xml is the drawable for your inactive icon and ic_first_tab_active.xml is the drawable for your active icon.
