I'm having a little bit of trouble trying to implement a Bottom Navigation Bar with icons and text in my Android application.
The bar currently functions as expected and takes you to the desired fragment but isn't showing icons or text for some reason.
I've done a few searches but haven't been able to find a solution or a reason as to why it is behaving this way.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I can't seem to find a solution on how to add even more space between each item of my navigation drawer. Here is the image of what it looks like now.
.
I want to my items in my navigation drawer to have even more space in between. I tried android:paddingTop and android:layout_marginTop in my NavigationView of my activity.xml but it doesn't seem to work. How can I add more space between Items?
To help here is my code for my activity.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

app:menu="#menu/navigation_drawer_menu"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:insetForeground="#android:color/transparent">
</com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView>
</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>
It might help, here is my Menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:showIn="navigation_view">
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="#+id/homeNavigationDrawer"
android:title="Home"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_home_nav_drawer"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/profileNavigationDrawer"
android:title="Profile"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_profile_nav_drawer"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/topicsNavigationDrawer"
android:title="Topics"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_latest_news_black"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/settingsNavigationDrawer"
android:title="Settings"
android:icon="#drawable/icon_settings"
/>
</group>
</menu>
For more space between each item You can apply following Theme in your styles.xml for Navigation Drawer
style name="NavigationTheme" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginBottom">8dp</item>
</style>
Apply this theme in Navigation Drawer
android:theme="#style/NavigationTheme"

I'm not sure why it's not working. When i take away the app:menu part it shows a black navigation bar but as soon as I add the menu, the navigation bar disappears.
I think you need to set background color to bottomnavigation menu.
try adding
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackgroud" in your bottomnavigation menu.
I have the below design to implement for the Android Navigation App Drawer of the app and I am confused how to go about it.
In my design, there is a black strip on the left side, which also has an image. My query is how do I create that space in the app drawer ?
I tried to add a Layout inside the app drawer but couldn't. It only allows 'Items' and 'Groups' to be added. What are my possible options ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
android:background="#color/colorBg"
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
android:background="#color/colorBg"
<item
android:id="#+id/myasset"
android:background="#color/colorBg"
android:title="My Asset" />
<item
android:id="#+id/account"
android:background="#color/colorBg"
android:title="Account" />
<item
android:id="#+id/howitworks"
android:background="#color/colorBg"
android:title="How it works" />
<item
android:id="#+id/feedback"
android:background="#color/colorBg"
android:title="Feedback" />
<item
android:id="#+id/legal"
android:background="#color/colorBg"
android:title="Legal" />
<item
android:id="#+id/exit"
android:background="#color/colorBg"
android:title="Exit" />
</group>
</menu>
When you create new project in Android Studio, there is an option that help you build NavigationDrawer.
Default activity_main.xml in layout
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<include
layout="#layout/app_bar_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
And you can do anything with activity_main_drawe or nav_header_main.
You can create custom navigation drawer. Try below tutorial :

Custom navigation drawer 2

first: You can put your device in RTL mode, go to develop settings (Force RTL layout direction).
After doing this all the layouts will mirror correctly.
If you don't want to change the whole device into RTL use this code in onCreate method of mainactivity before super and before you inflate the content view
window.decorView.layoutDirection = View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL
You need to use a custom layout for NavigationView.
According to this: http://www.kamilslesinski.com/home/navigation-drawer-customising-navigationview-items you can override the layout by copying original file and customizing it, or you can add a reference to your custom layout, like that:

in refs.xml.
I have a Navigation Drawer that opens from right to left, everything is working fine and the hamburger icon is working fine and it's in the right corner but menu icons are at the left of menu items.
How to move them to the right of menu items?

This is my menu.xml

I searched a lot but didn't find anything related to this issue.
Thanks in advance.
If you want to use NavigationView for handling DrawerLayout, make your NavigationView right to left by following code:
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) //call this before super.onCreate
private void forceRtlIfSupported() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
getWindow().getDecorView().setLayoutDirection(View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL);
}
}
and set RTL flag in AndroidManifiest.xml
android:supportsRtl="true"
unfortunately above code only supported for API 16 and later. In order to handle lower API, you can also implement DrawerLayout with ListView and do whatever you want. You can find a tutorial about this approach here.
