change the icon size of the bottom-navigation view but the icon covers text?

Question

I changed the icon size but it is overlapped with the text

I have increase the bottomView's height but still so.

only the side(margin?) changed.

I have searched and find the answer that

<dimen name="design_bottom_navigation_height" tools:override="true">56dp</dimen>

but I created the xml and write it but there is no tools namespace?

Answer 1

There is a property in bottom navigation view is app:itemIconSize="@dimen/_26sdp" where you can increase or decrease the icon size.

UPDATE

Icon padding is not possible in BottomNavigationView you must need the icon padding then you can set your xml file like the given below.

test.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:background="@color/white">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:weightSum="5">

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:drawablePadding="10dp"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:padding="10dp"
                android:text="ABC"
                app:drawableTopCompat="@drawable/ic_chat_bubble_orange_24dp" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/test_2"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:drawablePadding="10dp"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:padding="10dp"
                android:text="DEF"
                app:drawableTopCompat="@drawable/ic_chat_bubble_orange_24dp" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/test_3"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"

                android:padding="10dp"
                android:text="DEF"
                app:drawableTopCompat="@drawable/ic_chat_bubble_orange_24dp" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/test_4"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:drawablePadding="10dp"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:padding="10dp"
                android:text="DEF"
                app:drawableTopCompat="@drawable/ic_chat_bubble_orange_24dp" />

            <TextView

                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:drawablePadding="10dp"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:padding="10dp"
                android:text="DEF"
                app:drawableTopCompat="@drawable/ic_chat_bubble_orange_24dp" />
