How to combine BottomAppBar + FAB with BottomNavigationView
To all who use second approach from Nilesh Rathod comment and want remove unexpected space before first text view:
Just set app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
for BottomAppBar
First Way
Try this You can Create a CustomBottomNavigationView
Here is the good article for CustomBottomNavigationView
How I draw custom shapes in BottomNavigationView
SAMPLE CODE
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.*;
import android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView;
import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
public class CustomBottomNavigationView extends BottomNavigationView {
private Path mPath;
private Paint mPaint;
/** the CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS represent the radius of the fab button */
private final int CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS = 128 / 2;
// the coordinates of the first curve
private Point mFirstCurveStartPoint = new Point();
private Point mFirstCurveEndPoint = new Point();
private Point mFirstCurveControlPoint1 = new Point();
private Point mFirstCurveControlPoint2 = new Point();
//the coordinates of the second curve
@SuppressWarnings("FieldCanBeLocal")
private Point mSecondCurveStartPoint = new Point();
private Point mSecondCurveEndPoint = new Point();
private Point mSecondCurveControlPoint1 = new Point();
private Point mSecondCurveControlPoint2 = new Point();
private int mNavigationBarWidth;
private int mNavigationBarHeight;
public CustomBottomNavigationView(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
public CustomBottomNavigationView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
public CustomBottomNavigationView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
init();
}
private void init() {
mPath = new Path();
mPaint = new Paint();
mPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
mPaint.setColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(),R.color.colorAccent));
setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
}
@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom);
}
@Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
// get width and height of navigation bar
// Navigation bar bounds (width & height)
mNavigationBarWidth = getWidth();
mNavigationBarHeight = getHeight();
// the coordinates (x,y) of the start point before curve
mFirstCurveStartPoint.set((mNavigationBarWidth / 2) - (CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS * 2) - (CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS / 3), 0);
// the coordinates (x,y) of the end point after curve
mFirstCurveEndPoint.set(mNavigationBarWidth / 2, CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS + (CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS / 4));
// same thing for the second curve
mSecondCurveStartPoint = mFirstCurveEndPoint;
mSecondCurveEndPoint.set((mNavigationBarWidth / 2) + (CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS * 2) + (CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS / 3), 0);
// the coordinates (x,y) of the 1st control point on a cubic curve
mFirstCurveControlPoint1.set(mFirstCurveStartPoint.x + CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS + (CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS / 4), mFirstCurveStartPoint.y);
// the coordinates (x,y) of the 2nd control point on a cubic curve
mFirstCurveControlPoint2.set(mFirstCurveEndPoint.x - (CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS * 2) + CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS, mFirstCurveEndPoint.y);
mSecondCurveControlPoint1.set(mSecondCurveStartPoint.x + (CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS * 2) - CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS, mSecondCurveStartPoint.y);
mSecondCurveControlPoint2.set(mSecondCurveEndPoint.x - (CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS + (CURVE_CIRCLE_RADIUS / 4)), mSecondCurveEndPoint.y);
mPath.reset();
mPath.moveTo(0, 0);
mPath.lineTo(mFirstCurveStartPoint.x, mFirstCurveStartPoint.y);
mPath.cubicTo(mFirstCurveControlPoint1.x, mFirstCurveControlPoint1.y,
mFirstCurveControlPoint2.x, mFirstCurveControlPoint2.y,
mFirstCurveEndPoint.x, mFirstCurveEndPoint.y);
mPath.cubicTo(mSecondCurveControlPoint1.x, mSecondCurveControlPoint1.y,
mSecondCurveControlPoint2.x, mSecondCurveControlPoint2.y,
mSecondCurveEndPoint.x, mSecondCurveEndPoint.y);
mPath.lineTo(mNavigationBarWidth, 0);
mPath.lineTo(mNavigationBarWidth, mNavigationBarHeight);
mPath.lineTo(0, mNavigationBarHeight);
mPath.close();
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
canvas.drawPath(mPath, mPaint);
}
}
Now use like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/coordinatorlayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true" />
<neel.com.demo.CustomBottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/customBottomBar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="@color/colorAccent"
app:labelVisibilityMode="labeled" />
</RelativeLayout>
Activity
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
CustomBottomNavigationView curvedBottomNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.customBottomBar);
curvedBottomNavigationView.inflateMenu(R.menu.bottom_menu);
}
}
OUTPUT

I found a quicker solution. I wrapped bottomnavigationview in frameLayout and everything work as expected. Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/lt_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/white"
android:fitsSystemWindows="false">
<ViewPager
android:id="@+id/main_pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="@+id/bottom_navigation"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
<com.google.android.material.bottomappbar.BottomAppBar
android:id="@+id/bottom_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:clickable="false"
app:fabAlignmentMode="center" />
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom">
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
style="@style/BottomNavigationStyle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="false"
app:menu="@menu/bottom_menu" />
</FrameLayout>
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_anchor="@id/bottom_bar" />
</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
There is an easier way to combine those 3 widgets. We could have something like:
<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/coordinator"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="?attr/actionBarSize" />
<com.google.android.material.bottomappbar.BottomAppBar
android:id="@+id/bottomBar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
app:backgroundTint="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:contentInsetEnd="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:fabAlignmentMode="end">
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/bottomNavigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:backgroundTint="@android:color/transparent"
app:elevation="0dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="100dp"
app:itemIconTint="@android:color/white"
app:itemRippleColor="@android:color/white"
app:itemTextColor="@android:color/white"
app:menu="@menu/menu_activity_home_bottom_navigation" />
</com.google.android.material.bottomappbar.BottomAppBar>
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fab"
android:src="@drawable/ic_add_white_24dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_anchor="@id/bottomBar" />
</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
And that's it.
Depending on where the FAB is anchored (CENTER|END) the menu icons will be placed either to the left or in the middle:
For this sample, the result would be something like:
If you think there's a better way, please feel free to edit/comment so I can fix the post :)
