Introduction

Building user-friendly applications in Android often involves effective navigation strategies. One common issue developers face is the need to replace a Bottom Navigation View with a Fragment to display additional content without disrupting the overall user experience. This guide will walk you through the process, focusing on displaying a settings Fragment over your existing navigation UI.

The Problem

In your Android application, you might have a MainActivity with a BottomNavigationView. However, upon clicking a settings button, you want to replace the current content of the navigation view with a full-screen settings Fragment. This will allow users to focus exclusively on the settings without the distraction of the navigation menu.

Here’s the relevant part of the initial implementation:

When the settings button is clicked, you will need to replace the current Fragment in your nav_host_fragment with your SettingsFragment.

The Solution

To achieve this, we will utilize the Fragment Manager to replace the existing Fragment. Below is a clear, organized solution to implement this functionality.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Identify the NavHostFragment:
First, you need to obtain a reference to the NavHostFragment currently holding your navigation elements.
