Showing a badge throws IndexOutOfBoundsException if called from main Activity lifecycle methods

[drkatz]

Hey @armcha, really liking the library!
I set up my SpaceNavigationView in the onCreate of my Activity with the same setup shown in the readme and have added bottomNav.onSaveInstanceState(outState); in my onSaveInstanceState.
Everything looks and works great in the launched activity, SpaceOnClickListener events are returning the correct name and index for my items. But if I try to call

spaceNavigationView.showBadgeAtIndex(0,5, ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.cyan));

in any of the main lifecycle methods in my Activity (bottom of onCreate, onResume, onPostResume, etc.) the SpaceNavigationView throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException:
Caused by: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Invalid index 0, size is 0 at java.util.ArrayList.throwIndexOutOfBoundsException(ArrayList.java:255) at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:308) at com.luseen.spacenavigation.SpaceNavigationView.showBadgeAtIndex(SpaceNavigationView.java:822) at com.proto.tangible.tagalong.ExploreActivity$override.onResume(ExploreActivity.java:193) at com.proto.tangible.tagalong.ExploreActivity$override.access$dispatch(ExploreActivity.java) at com.proto.tangible.tagalong.ExploreActivity.onResume(ExploreActivity.java:0) at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnResume(Instrumentation.java:1326) at android.app.Activity.performResume(Activity.java:6323) at android.app.ActivityThread.performResumeActivity(ActivityThread.java:3311) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleResumeActivity(ActivityThread.java:3359)  at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2549)  at android.app.ActivityThread.handleRelaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:4398)  at android.app.ActivityThread.access$1000(ActivityThread.java:150)  at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1400)  at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102)  at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:168)  at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5845)  at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method)  at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:797)  at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:687) 

However, calling the same line some time after the Activity loads (in response to a manual click event or async task with Thread.sleep(400) works just fine for me!

Looking at the library source it seems like the SpaceNavigationView needs to have been laid out before its possible to show badges for your SpaceItems. In most situations the badge quantity to display is calculated almost instantly, so waiting for the draw is a little cumbersome

You can achieve the same goal of this lib using the new built-in bottomnav in Materiel components.
