I am having my bottom navigation view inside a fragment. Below is the code
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".fragments.investors.InvestmentParentFragment">
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:itemIconTint="@drawable/nav_selector"
app:itemTextColor="@drawable/nav_selector"
app:menu="@menu/investments_bottom_nav_menu"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
app:itemRippleColor="@color/secondaryLightColor"
android:background="@drawable/bottom_nav_background"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
When i click on an item in the bottom navigation view it navigates to a fragment. The problem am having is that when i navigate to a new fragment it opens the new fragment and the bottom navigation view disappears i would like it to work like the way where the bottom navigation view is in MainActivity and when i navigate to a new fragment it does not disappear it stays there and can operate like a tab layout
Here is what i have tried so in the fragment having the bottom navigation view but its not working. Inside onViewCreated method
Navcontroller navController = Navigation.findNavController(view);
bnvInvestments = view.findViewById(R.id.bnv_investments);
NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(bnvInvestments, navController);
