Question

I have developed an application which contains a bottom navigation and some other fields. In my device the app shows all the elements(It's API 28)But in another device the bottom navigation and other fields are not showing(It's API 27).

All the other activities are working perfectly but problem comes in this activity

This device API 28

This device API 27

Try this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/rel_layout"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/nav_view"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

            <ImageView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
                app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_home_black_24dp" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/message"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"

                android:layout_centerInParent="true"
                android:text="@string/title_home"
                android:textAlignment="center" />
        </RelativeLayout>


        <com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
            android:id="@+id/nav_view"
            android:layout_width="0dp"

            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:menu="@menu/your_menu" />

    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

You can use the Bottom Navigation Bar for creating that UI.

Try this:

<RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/nav_view"
        android:layout_height="0dp">
