• I want to distribute the action icons horizontally. I couldn't find a solution around and in the Android developer reference. How is it possible to achieve this?

NOTE

if you want remove Navigation drawer control just remove app:navigationIcon="@drawable/ic_drawer" from BottomAppBar

output when your removed app:navigationIcon="@drawable/ic_drawer"
