[BottomNavigationView] Provide horizontal positioning for items (icon + label)
See original GitHub issueIs your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Material Design specification describes that in the lanscape mode or for tablets it is fine to show item label next to the item icon:
Describe the solution you’d like
Currently BottomNavigationView does not provide any option for changing item label positioning. It would be great to have an attribute like labelOrientation="horizontal|vertical" or labelGravity="start|top|end|bottom"

Thank you for reaching out, I asked the design team to provide detailed spec so we can implement this feature.
Hi sorry for no update of this for a while.
Yeah I think in the new guidelines designers discarded the horizontal positioning of icon and text. Instead, I think we are going to encourage people using navigation rail/drawer in landscape mode. (You can refer to the adaptive demo in Catalog.)
We may have a more integrated navigation component coming in the future, but it’s not decided yet and the timeline is unknown now.
I’ll close the issue as obsolete.
