Answer 1

Use a M3 theme in your app:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.Material3.DayNight">

Then in your layout:

<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/bottomNav_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.App.BottomNavigationView"

with:

<style name="ThemeOverlay.App.BottomNavigationView" parent="">
    <item name="colorSurface">#d1e4ff</item>
    <item name="colorSecondaryContainer">#0061a3</item>
</style>
