        bottomNavigationBar.setTabSelectedListener(new BottomNavigationBar.OnTabSelectedListener(){
            @Override
            public void onTabSelected(int position) {
            }
            @Override
            public void onTabUnselected(int position) {]
            }
            @Override
            public void onTabReselected(int position) {
            }
        });

all methods are self explanatory

| MODE_CLASSIC | MODE_SHIFTING ------------ | ------------ | ------------- BACKGROUND_STYLE_STATIC | | BACKGROUND_STYLE_RIPPLE | |

library provides two modes MODE_CLASSIC and MODE_SHIFTING

to set mode :

bottomNavigationBar
                .setMode(BottomNavigationBar.MODE_CLASSIC)

MODE_DEFAULT: if number of tabs are less than or equal to three then MODE_CLASSIC will be used other cases MODE_SHIFTING will be used.

library provides two background styles BACKGROUND_STYLE_STATIC and BACKGROUND_STYLE_RIPPLE

to set background style:

bottomNavigationBar
                .setBackgroundStyle(BottomNavigationBar.BACKGROUND_STYLE_RIPPLE)

BACKGROUND_STYLE_DEFAULT: if mode is MODE_CLASSIC then BACKGROUND_STYLE_STATIC will be used if mode is MODE_SHIFTING then BACKGROUND_STYLE_RIPPLE will be used.

user can play with three colors : background color, active color and in-active color

in-active color : is the icon and text color of the in-active/un-selected tab

active color : In BACKGROUND_STYLE_STATIC active color is the icon and text color of the active/selected tab. In BACKGROUND_STYLE_RIPPLE active color is the bottom bar background color (which comes with ripple animation)

background color : In BACKGROUND_STYLE_STATIC background color is the bottom bar background color. In BACKGROUND_STYLE_RIPPLE background color is the icon and text color of the active/selected tab.

set colors : you can set color either by colorResId or direct color code string:

bottomNavigationBar
                .setActiveColor(R.color.primary)
                .setInActiveColor("#FFFFFF")
                .setBarBackgroundColor("#ECECEC")

set colors to BottomNavigationItem : if you need different active/in-active colors for different tabs. you can also set active and inactive color for the BottomNavigationItem.

        bottomNavigationBar
                .addItem(new BottomNavigationItem(R.drawable.ic_home_white_24dp, "Home").setActiveColor(R.color.orange).setInActiveColor(R.color.teal))
                .addItem(new BottomNavigationItem(R.drawable.ic_book_white_24dp, "Books").setActiveColor("#FFFF00"))
                .addItem(new BottomNavigationItem(R.drawable.ic_music_note_white_24dp, "Music").setInActiveColor("#00FFFF"))
                .addItem(new BottomNavigationItem(R.drawable.ic_tv_white_24dp, "Movies & TV"))
                .addItem(new BottomNavigationItem(R.drawable.ic_videogame_asset_white_24dp, "Games").setActiveColor(R.color.grey))

BottomNavigationItem color behaviour : if you didn't set active/in-active colors for the BottomNavigationItem then these will inherited from BottomNavigationBar active/in-active colors respectively

1. primary color will be active color
2. Color.WHITE will be background color
3. Color.LTGRAY will be in-active color.
