    BottomNavigationView navigation = (BottomNavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation);
    navigation.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(mOnNavigationItemSelectedListener);

I don't want the first item to be selected automatically.

How can I do so?

tried

navigation.getMenu().getItem(0).setChecked(false);

didn't work

  • You can use `bottomNavigationView.setSelectedItemId(R.id.your_id);` – Anuraag Baishya Mar 27 '18 at 07:27

This is how I solved it: 

navigation.getMenu().setGroupCheckable(0, false, true);
