Add badge later

[EpsilonOrionis]

Is it possible to add a badge for a specific tab, when the BottomBar is already created?

[Ashok-Varma]

you can Add the badge before creating the BottomBar. and make the badge hide. whenever requires you can call show.

Here is the sample code snippet.

1. First during Initialisation :

//-------------------------------------------------------------
BadgeItem numberBadgeItem = new BadgeItem()
                .setBorderWidth(4)
                .setBackgroundColorResource(R.color.blue)
                .setText("hai");
//-------------------------------------------------------------
bottomNavigationBar
                    .addItem(new BottomNavigationItem(R.drawable.ic_location_on_white_24dp, "Location").setActiveColorResource(R.color.orange).setBadgeItem(numberBadgeItem))
                    .addItem(new BottomNavigationItem(R.drawable.ic_find_replace_white_24dp, "Find").setActiveColorResource(R.color.teal))
                    .addItem(new BottomNavigationItem(R.drawable.ic_favorite_white_24dp, "Favorites").setActiveColorResource(R.color.blue))
                    .setFirstSelectedPosition(1)
                    .initialise();
//-------------------------------------------------------------
numberBadgeItem.hide();

1. When ever you need the badge :

numberBadgeItem.show().setText("1")

@EpsilonOrionis if it works you can close this issue

[Ashok-Varma]

in 1.2.2 you can call hide on badge before attaching it to the bottomNavigationBar.

Here is the sample code snippet.

1. First during Initialisation :

//-------------------------------------------------------------
BadgeItem numberBadgeItem = new BadgeItem()
                .setBorderWidth(4)
                .setBackgroundColorResource(R.color.blue)
                .setText("hai")
                .hide();
//-------------------------------------------------------------
bottomNavigationBar
                    .addItem(new BottomNavigationItem(R.drawable.ic_location_on_white_24dp, "Location").setActiveColorResource(R.color.orange).setBadgeItem(numberBadgeItem))
                    .addItem(new BottomNavigationItem(R.drawable.ic_find_replace_white_24dp, "Find").setActiveColorResource(R.color.teal))
                    .addItem(new BottomNavigationItem(R.drawable.ic_favorite_white_24dp, "Favorites").setActiveColorResource(R.color.blue))
                    .setFirstSelectedPosition(1)
                    .initialise();

1. When ever you need the badge just call show:

numberBadgeItem.show().setText("1")
