I have a bottom navigation view and at the center of bottom navigation view I have a floating action button. I start fragments when click on bottom navigation view items and when click on float action button I start an activity. Fragments are loading correctly but when I click on fab button sometimes it run correctly but sometimes it gives error.
I think, it gives error because I try to load fragment in activity and then I try to open a different activity when a fragment loaded in activity. But I couldn't fix it.

Any idea to solve this problem? Thanks.
Edit : I added a sentence to my bottom_navigation_menu.xml file to make not enable menu item below fab button.
<item
android:id="@+id/empty_menu"
app:showAsAction="always"
android:enabled="false"
android:title="@string/nearby" />
Also this code part is not necessary anymore.
case R.id.empty_menu:
break;
The issue happens when you call fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.flMainActivity, fragment); with fragment = null.
Check the onNavigationItemSelected.
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem menuItem) {
Fragment selectedFragment = null;
switch (menuItem.getItemId()){
//...
case R.id.empty_menu:
break; // <-- this case
}
loadFragment(selectedFragment);
return true;
In this case the selectedFragment is null.
Checking the screen in the question it seems that you are using in the BottomNavigationView a menuItem without icon exactly behind the FAB.
