I have an activity with a BottomNavigationView, I need to switch items (remove old and add new ones) of my bottomNavigationView when a button is clicked. I tried all these options but none of them is working:

 bottomNavigationView.getMenu().clear();
   bottomNavigationView.getMenu().getItem(0).setVisible(false);
   bottomNavigationView.getMenu().removeItem(0);       bottomNavigationView.removeViewInLayout(bottomNavigationView.findViewById(R.id.explore_item));

I tried using the roughike bottom bar and could find a way to switch bottom bar items with a click.

I ended up implementing the worst solution : adding two BottomNavigationViews and switching their visibilty ! The problem is I need to switch bottom bar items more than once, and I cant keep adding bottomNavViews to my ui !

Any help with switching bottom bar items on a button click would appreciated. Thanks.

The only solution I found was to use

bottomNavigationView.getMenu().removeItem(R.id.menu_item);

    when i did this, it then alligned the rest of the items in the middle instead of spreading them out again – Jono Feb 10 '20 at 10:24
