I'm using a Material Design 3 bottom navigation bar.
<!-- activity_main.xml -->

app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_menu" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
I've added a floating action button (FAB).
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/add_a_vehicle_fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:contentDescription="@string/fab_content_description"
app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_baseline_add_24" />
However, the FAB is obscured behind the navigation bar.
I've tried to solving the issue by adding margin to the fragment following: How to get the ActionBar height?.
<fragment
android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
....
android:layout_marginBottom="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
... />
However, that height is from the Material Design 2 bottom navigation bar and my FAB gets cut off because it's not enough margin.
How do I obtain the height of the Material Design 3 bottom navigation bar so I can display my FAB correctly?
With Material3 the BottomNavigationView
has a different minHeight
.
You can apply something like:
<fragment
android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/m3_bottom_nav_min_height"
