BottomNavigationBar-change the tab icon color

Question

I\'ve integrated Bottom Bar Navigation bar on my app. But when I swipe, tab\'s color doesn\'t change. It\'s weird cause I have selector file. Any idea to solve this problem?

Answer 1

I was confused about whole process despite reading all the answers, so here is how I resolved it step by step so beginners can understand it properly

Let's say you created MainActivity with bottom navigation so

in your drawable folder create bottom_navigation_selector.xml

then go to the activity_main.xml layout and add this line in BottomNavigationView

app:itemIconTint="@drawable/bottom_navigation_selector"

If you also want to change text color accordingly then you need to add this line aswell

app:itemTextColor="@drawable/bottom_navigation_selector"
