Bottom Navigation Drawer

Question

I am having trouble implementing bottom drawer as seen in example from:

https://material.io/design/components/navigation-drawer.html#bottom-drawer

I have first done something similar to:

https://material.io/develop/android/components/navigation-view/

But I don't know how should I anchor it to the bottom. I have tried using different combinations of layout_gravity but either it crashed at the beginning or when trying to open it using:

drawer_layout.openDrawer(Gravity.START) 

I am a little bit stuck so any help will be appreciated!

Thanks to @Mike.M I have came up with solution. I have used BottomSheetDialogFragment to show from menu:

This is just a sample kotlin class

class BottomDialogFragment : BottomSheetDialogFragment() {

    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.f_bottomsheet, container, false)
    }

    companion object {
        fun newInstance(): MainBottomDialogFragment {
            return MainBottomDialogFragment()
        }
    }
}

And I can style it as I see fit in xml file - so another plus that it's easy and very flexible.
