Bottom navigation bar to magnify selected item

I want to create a bottom navigation bar in my Android project. Here are 5 items(just items icons. No name of any item) in the navigation bar. I want to make it in a way so that when an item is selected it is magnified a little along with showing its name.
How can I do this?
P.S. - I instead tried with an imageview inside of which there are imagebuttons. One non-magnified icon imagebutton and the corresponding magnified icon (+ its name) imagebutton are overlapped, setting one visible and other invisible alternatively, but it was a bad idea. The code works but the layout is very bad and messy.

Answer with Tip:
Answer:
That's the default behavior if you use the latest support:design library and then implement your BottomNavigationView. As stated in my comment above; below your question.
Some links to implement Bottom Navigation View (which you would have easily got if you would have googled for them):
1] How to Code a Bottom Navigation Bar for an Android App
2] Android Working with Bottom Navigation
Tip:
But the problem with the knowledge gained from the above links is; Material Design documentation tells us that if the Bottom Navigation has:
3 items — we should display the icon with text (always) for all items.
4–5 items — we should display text for active icon only and hide for inactive items (or views).
Now, you might have a good guess on what I’m going to say next.
“This is what the Material Design guidelines suggest, so let’s just do this.”
But this time I won’t. I disagree, and so should you. I’ll tell you why.
The Material Design guidelines aren’t always right.
Whether you have 3 or 5 items in your Bottom Navigation, ALWAYS show
text labels!
By doing so, you’ll avoid the Mystery Meat Navigation problem that plagues Material Design. Shoutout to Teo Yu Siang for making aware of this!
Buttons or links that don’t explain to you what they do. Instead, you
have to click on them to find out — Mystery Meat Navigation.
I’m sure we’ve all been victims of this at some point at least. We click on a button assuming it to do something, only for it to do something else entirely!
So do yourselves, and your users a favor. Always, show text labels for your Bottom Navigation icons.
By mentioning this (for instance): bottomNavigation.setTitleState(AHBottomNavigation.TitleState.ALWAYS_SHOW);
I did my part to give good UX. Rest all depends on you.

You can use BottomNavigationView from android support library.
Use the following dependency-
implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.1.0'
And use following in the xml file for bottom navigation bar-
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/navigation" />
Note - For the magnifying behaviour to work, you need to have more than 3 items in your BottomNavigationView.

Integrating Bottom Navigation with 5 Menu Items

I was trying to add 5 items to the bottom navigation view , But when i add icons the view get collapse . each icon doesn't get ideal width which means the same width . please refer to the image , Any reason for this ?
Edited :- This seems like the default behaviour, If i press on something the button gets the focus
But is it possible to show it like iOS which means each tab having the same width ?

In the bottom navigation material design specs there is a section describing "fixed" vs "shifting" modes
While this doesn't appear in the official bottom navigation view documentation (ahem google), if you look at the source code you will see that there is the ability to set the "Shifting Mode" both via xml and java.
Please note that I haven't tried this and am basing it on the source code alone.

Android customize Bottom navigation

I'm trying to implement a Bottom Navigation Bar in android. I have implemented the basic design and functionality but need to make a change in the design.
I need the center Icon to be Enlarged so that it looks something like the image above.
I cannot seem to find any way to do that.
Will i have to make a custom class for that?

You can use this library to achieve bottom navigation like this

Vertical Action Bar for Android

I want to display the Action Bar Vertically in my App.
I have found few examples for the Horizontal One, but not any for the Vertical One.
Can anyone please give me any example for the Vertical Action Bar.
Thanks,
David Brown

There's nothing in the Android UI design guide about a vertical ActionBar. But you might be able to coerce a similar effect by locking the display orientation, and then applying a rotation to the View in the content area. You also might be able to get somewhere by downloading the source code for ActionBarSherlock and implementing your own version of the ActionBar. But I don't recommend either of these solutions. If you're really that intent on putting actions on the side of your screen, I suggest either a small vertical LinearLayout, or implement one of the side navigation solutions as discussed in Android Facebook style slide.
