How to use BottomNavigationBar with Navigator?

int index = 0;

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return new Scaffold(
    body: new Stack(
      children: <Widget>[
        new Offstage(
          offstage: index != 0,
          child: new TickerMode(
            enabled: index == 0,
            child: new MaterialApp(home: new YourLeftPage()),
          ),
        ),
        new Offstage(
          offstage: index != 1,
          child: new TickerMode(
            enabled: index == 1,
            child: new MaterialApp(home: new YourRightPage()),
          ),
        ),
      ],
    ),
    bottomNavigationBar: new BottomNavigationBar(
      currentIndex: index,
      onTap: (int index) { setState((){ this.index = index; }); },
      items: <BottomNavigationBarItem>[
        new BottomNavigationBarItem(
          icon: new Icon(Icons.home),
          title: new Text("Left"),
        ),
        new BottomNavigationBarItem(
          icon: new Icon(Icons.search),
          title: new Text("Right"),
        ),
      ],
    ),
  );
}

You should keep each page by Stack to keep their state. Offstage stops painting, TickerMode stops animation. MaterialApp includes Navigator.

Code:

int _index = 0;

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  Widget child;
  switch (_index) {
    case 0:
      child = FlutterLogo();
      break;
    case 1:
      child = FlutterLogo(colors: Colors.orange);
      break;
    case 2:
      child = FlutterLogo(colors: Colors.red);
      break;
  }

  return Scaffold(
    body: SizedBox.expand(child: child),
    bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
      onTap: (newIndex) => setState(() => _index = newIndex),
      currentIndex: _index,
      items: [
        BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.looks_one), title: Text("Blue")),
        BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.looks_two), title: Text("Orange")),
        BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.looks_3), title: Text("Red")),
      ],
    ),
  );
}
