Disable BottomNavigationView shift mode?

  
Implementation of BottomNavigationView has condition: when there is more than 3 items then use shift mode.
At this moment you cannot change it through existing API and the only way to disable shift mode is to use reflection.
You’ll need helper class:
import android.support.design.internal.BottomNavigationItemView;
import android.support.design.internal.BottomNavigationMenuView;
import android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView;
import android.util.Log;
import java.lang.reflect.Field;

public class BottomNavigationViewHelper {
    public static void disableShiftMode(BottomNavigationView view) {
        BottomNavigationMenuView menuView = (BottomNavigationMenuView) view.getChildAt(0);
        try {
            Field shiftingMode = menuView.getClass().getDeclaredField("mShiftingMode");
            shiftingMode.setAccessible(true);
            shiftingMode.setBoolean(menuView, false);
            shiftingMode.setAccessible(false);
            for (int i = 0; i < menuView.getChildCount(); i++) {
                BottomNavigationItemView item = (BottomNavigationItemView) menuView.getChildAt(i);
                //noinspection RestrictedApi
                item.setShiftingMode(false);
                // set once again checked value, so view will be updated
                //noinspection RestrictedApi
                item.setChecked(item.getItemData().isChecked());
            }
        } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
            Log.e("BNVHelper", "Unable to get shift mode field", e);
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            Log.e("BNVHelper", "Unable to change value of shift mode", e);
        }
    }
}
And then apply disableShiftMode method on your BottomNavigationView, but remember if you are inflating menu view from your code, you have to execute it after inflating.
Example usage:
BottomNavigationView bottomNavigationView = (BottomNavigationView) findViewById(R.id.bottom_navigation_bar);
BottomNavigationViewHelper.disableShiftMode(bottomNavigationView);
PS.
Remember, you’ll need to execute this method each time you change menu items in your BottomNavigationView.
UPDATE
You also need to update proguard configuration file (e.g. proguard-rules.pro), code above uses reflection and won’t work if proguard obfuscate the mShiftingModefield.
-keepclassmembers class android.support.design.internal.BottomNavigationMenuView { 
    boolean mShiftingMode; 
}

how to retrieve image from sqlite database in android and display in listview

 Android platform provides several ways to store data in our application. 1. SQLite database 2. SharedPreferences etc For our post, we will only work with SQLite database. First and foremost, we need to understand what an SQLite database is? SQLite database  is an open source SQL database that stores data to a text file on a device. It executes SQL Commands to perform a set of functions, that is, create, read, update and delete operations. On my previous post, I showed how to  store data in SQLite database from edit text, retrieve and populate it in a listview .
