Introduce Navigation component to Wireguard-Android

Introduce Navigation component to Wireguard-Android

[Lao Deng]

I am going to add some un-related functions to Wireguard-Android . The final app. should look like the demo of com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView ,
 which  consists of a  bottom navigation component and several  independent fragments( or activities ) . 


I am wondering how to introduce this navigation component to the wireguard-android  project with the least modification :) Could you please shed some light on it ?
Thankyou for your attention :)

I'm a bit confused, is this change something you are proposing for the 
upstream project or are you looking for assistance to implement this in 
a fork?

I don't think we want a Bottom Navigation component in the app itself 
since it adds no value to the app, the only new destination we could add 
with it would be a quicker entry into settings which is not a 
high-priority destination requiring such a prominent navigation action.

If you want to add it to a fork, the only real help I can provide is 
that MainActivity inflates the main_activity.xml layout which in turn 
handles inflating TunnelListFragment, so you'd want to make changes to 
MainActivity and its layout for adding the component.
