Change background color of BottomBar

I'm using this great library you can see here but cant seem to set the bg color for the bottomBar.

The code I'm using to set up the bottomBar is this : 

    bottomBar = BottomBar.attach(view, savedInstanceState);
    bottomBar.setMaxFixedTabs(2);
    bottomBar.setItemsFromMenu(R.menu.menu_bottom_bar, new OnMenuTabClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onMenuTabSelected(@IdRes int menuItemId) {
            Log.i(TAG, "onMenuTabSelected: " + menuItemId );
        }

        @Override
        public void onMenuTabReSelected(@IdRes int menuItemId) {
            Log.i(TAG, "onMenuTab- RE - Selected: " + menuItemId );
        }
    });

    bottomBar.mapColorForTab(0, R.color.colorAccentPink);
    bottomBar.mapColorForTab(1, R.color.colorAccentPink);
    bottomBar.mapColorForTab(2, R.color.colorAccentPink);

I have also tried to set the setBackground method but didnt have any luck.

All i' getting is white background.

Thank you

EDIT : 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


<item
    android:id="@+id/bb_menu_comments"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_comments"
    android:title="Comments" />
<item
    android:id="@+id/bb_menu_poll"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_poll"
    android:title="Polls" />
<item
    android:id="@+id/bb_menu_share"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_share"
    android:title="Share" />

mBottomBar.getBar().setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorAccent));

Try this line. It works perfect for me.

You are passing a wrong parameter to the mapColorForTab method. R.color.colorAccentPink is just a resource id, but you need to extract color from it like this:

bottomBar.mapColorForTab(0, ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorAccentPink));
