Google announced Material Design Support Library (http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2015/05/android-design-support-library.html) in their Google IO 2015. This month Google announced that there's a new element to be added in Material Design components and it's the Bottom Navigation. In this tutorial we'll have a look on Android Material Design Bottom Navigation and how to implement it and understand its parameters and functions.

In the previous tutorial we discussed Android Material Design Floating Action Button (FAB) (http://androidgifts.com/android-material-design-floating-action-button-tutorial/) and Snackbar (http://androidgifts.com/android-material-design-snackbar/) and you can check our Android Material Design Series from here.

Bottom navigation bars make it easy to walk through between top-level views in a single tap as it provides quick navigation between top-level views of an app.

And according to Google design guidelines, the bottom navigation should consist of three to five items. In this tutorial we will be building 2 Activities, one has three buttons and the other has four buttons in the bottom navigation bar.
