bottom navigation view doesnt shows fargment unless double click

Question

i fixed the previous error but now this here. fragment isnt visible if i dont click bottom navigation two times. my code:

activity_main.xml

<androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView
    android:id="@+id/FragmentContainerView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/bottom_navigation"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
    android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_menu" />

MainActivity.kt

binding.bottomNavigation.setOnItemReselectedListener { item ->
        when(item.itemId) {
            R.id.home -> {
                replaceFragment(HomeFragment())
            }
            R.id.favs -> {
                replaceFragment(FavsFragment())
            }
        }
    }
}

private fun replaceFragment(fragment: Fragment) {
    val fragmentManager = supportFragmentManager
    val fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction()

    fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.FragmentContainerView, fragment)
    fragmentTransaction.commit()
}

First we create navigation.xml (you can create navigation.xml if you click the ResourceManager button on the left, select navigation at the top and click the + sign), then we name it my_nav and click the new destination button on the top and select all the fragments you will use. I suggest you to select your main fragment first

<fragment
        android:id="@+id/fragment"
        android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        app:defaultNavHost="true"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/bottom_navigation"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:navGraph="@navigation/my_nav" />

or try this

binding.bottomNavigation.setItemSelected(R.id.home, true)

by the way, some advice for you

binding.apply{
//If I do it this way, you don't need to write bindings for your objects every time.
//eg:
  bottomNavigation.setOnItemReselectedListener { item ->        
    }
}

Did the code work for you? If so, please click the tick. – Ömer Seyfettin Yavuzyiğit Apr 29 '22 at 14:52 — Ömer Seyfettin Yavuzyiğit, Apr 29 '22 at 14:52

Instead of setOnItemReselectedListener you should use setOnItemSelectedListener to avoid "double-clicking".

But you still have to add initial fragment to FragmentContainerView. For example, in onCreate() you can call your replaceFragment() with the fragment that you need to be shown at first.

FragmentContainerViev does not specify a navigation, therefore it does not appear – Ömer Seyfettin Yavuzyiğit Apr 29 '22 at 13:29
Everything works with BottomNavigation and FragmentContainerView. I tried to replace the setOnItemSelectedListener by the setOnItemReselectedListener in my app with BottomNavigation, and the behavior has become as described by the author – Stepan Kulagin Apr 29 '22 at 13:35
Oh thanks. But when I launch app first time, just empty screen, I need to select a item to get something. What should I do – wyb253 Apr 29 '22 at 14:50
