Solution

  • First of all, you need to add the design support library to your app-level build.gradle file. For Exemple:

    dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
}

    Then click the Sync Now button. Also, you need to complete other attributes in your activity_h2.xml like this

    <android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
       android:id="@+id/navigation"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:layout_gravity="start"
       design:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation" />

    PS: The android:id="@+id/navigation" is important to listening for events on the bottom navigation in your h2.java
