Android: Bottom Navigation View - change icon of selected item

I have added BottomNavigationView in my application like.

main.xml

<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        app:itemBackground="@color/colorPrimary"
        app:itemIconTint="@color/white"
        app:itemTextColor="@color/white"
        app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_main" />

bottom_navigation_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_favorites"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_favorite_white_24dp"
        android:title="@string/text_favorites"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_schedules"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_access_time_white_24dp"
        android:title="@string/text_schedules"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_music"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_audiotrack_white_24dp"
        android:title="@string/text_music"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
</menu>

MainActivity click

bottomNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(
        new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
                switch (item.getItemId()) {
                    case R.id.action_favorites:
                        //need change icon of favotites here.
                    case R.id.action_schedules:

                    case R.id.action_music:

                }
                return true;
            }
        });

I want to change the icon of the bottom navigation of selected position. How can we achieve this feature when user click one item?

(if user clicked one item then the icon change to another one)


You can simply create drawable selector in drawable folder and image can be change according to the state of the widget used in view

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/calender_green" android:state_checked="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/calender_black" android:state_checked="false"/>
</selector>

If above solutions are not working for you to change selected item icon then add below line to your code:

bottomNavigationView.setItemIconTintList(null);

This will disable tint effect of selected item icon.

I had the same problem. I have added selector drawable for changing icon of BottomNavigationView item when its checked/selected.
