Change Icon of BottomNavigationView on Runtime

Question

I want to change the icon of my BottomNavigationView after it got initialized. If I do it at onCreate it works fine. But I have to do it after getting an asynchronous response from the server.

val menuItem = bottom_navigation.menu.findItem(R.id.nav_item_4)
menuItem.icon = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.ic_nav_message)

@Muhammad Farhan This doesnt work if you call it after the bottomNavigationView is already initialized — King Bufo, Sep 05 '19 at 13:37

this can give you the option to change the icon in runtime.

MenuItem logOut= nav_Menu.findItem(R.id.nav_logOut);
logOut.setIcon(*here you can give the path of your icon*);

It only works like that when i call it before the OnNavigationItemSelectListener gets initialized and my async call comes way later. – King Bufo Sep 05 '19 at 15:46
