Is it possible to remove bottomNavigation Bar while moving from one fragment to another fragment?

Question

I want to remove bottom Navigation bar while moving from one fragment to another fragment. This is how I am trying to remove bottom Navigation bar.

class LoadFragment : Fragment() {

    override fun onCreateView(
        inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
        savedInstanceState: Bundle?
    ): View? {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        val view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_load, container, false)
        val bottomView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_main, container, false)

        bottomView.findViewById<BottomNavigationView>(R.id.bottom_home_navigation).visibility = View.GONE
        return view
    }
}

The bottom Navigation bar is present in Main Activity. I am trying to move from one fragment to another fragment but in that fragment there is no need of bottomNavigation bar. I don't know if it is possible or not. I am just trying new things.

Answer 1

Write a function in your Activity

    fun setBottomNavVisibility(visibility: Int){
      YOUR_BOTTOM_NAV_VIEW.visibility =visibility
    }

In your Fragment

    // SHOW BOTTOM NAVIGATION
    (requireActivity() as MainActivity).setBottomNavVisibility(View.VISIBLE)
    // HIDE BOTTOM NAVIGATION
    (requireActivity() as MainActivity).setBottomNavVisibility(View.GONE)
