Example to Create Material Bottom Tab Navigation

App.js

 import React from ‘react’; import {StyleSheet, Text, View,Button} from ‘react-native’; import { createBottomTabNavigator, createAppContainer} from ‘react-navigation’; import { createMaterialBottomTabNavigator } from ‘react-navigation-material-bottom-tabs’; import Icon from ‘react-native-vector-icons/Ionicons’; class HomeScreen extends React.Component {   render() {     return (         <View style={styles.container}>           <Text>Home Screen</Text>         </View>     );   } } class ProfileScreen extends React.Component {   render() {     return (         <View style={styles.container}>           <Text>Profile Screen</Text>         </View>     );   } } class ImageScreen extends React.Component {     render() {         return (             <View style={styles.container}>                 <Text>Image Screen</Text>             </View>         );     } } class CartScreen extends React.Component {     render() {         return (             <View style={styles.container}>                 <Text>Cart Screen</Text>             </View>         );     } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({     container: {         flex: 1,         justifyContent: ‘center’,         alignItems: ‘center’     }, }); const TabNavigator = createMaterialBottomTabNavigator(     {         Home: { screen: HomeScreen,             navigationOptions:{                 tabBarLabel:’Home’,                 tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => (                     <View>                         <Icon style={[{color: tintColor}]} size={25} name={‘ios-home’}/>                     </View>),             }         },         Profile: { screen: ProfileScreen,             navigationOptions:{                 tabBarLabel:’Profile’,                 tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => (                     <View>                         <Icon style={[{color: tintColor}]} size={25} name={‘ios-person’}/>                     </View>),                 activeColor: ‘#f60c0d’,                 inactiveColor: ‘#f65a22’,                 barStyle: { backgroundColor: ‘#f69b31′ },             }         },         Image: { screen: ImageScreen,             navigationOptions:{                 tabBarLabel:’History’,                 tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => (                     <View>                         <Icon style={[{color: tintColor}]} size={25} name={‘ios-images’}/>                     </View>),                 activeColor: ‘#615af6’,                 inactiveColor: ‘#46f6d7’,                 barStyle: { backgroundColor: ‘#67baf6′ },             }         },         Cart: {             screen: CartScreen,             navigationOptions:{                 tabBarLabel:’Cart’,                 tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => (                     <View>                         <Icon style={[{color: tintColor}]} size={25} name={‘ios-cart’}/>                     </View>),             }         },     },     {       initialRouteName: “Home”,       activeColor: ‘#f0edf6’,       inactiveColor: ‘#226557’,       barStyle: { backgroundColor: ‘#3BAD87’ },     }, );  export default createAppContainer(TabNavigator);
