android bottom bar setting default tab on create of an activity

Myself trying to develop a sample android app based on this tutorial with bottom bar.

    `protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.thirdactivity);

    BottomBar bottomBar = BottomBar.attach(this, savedInstanceState);
    bottomBar.setItemsFromMenu(R.menu.bottom_menu, new OnMenuTabSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onMenuItemSelected(int itemId) {
           Intent myAct = new Intent();
            switch (itemId) {
                case R.id.item1:
                    myAct = new Intent(findViewById(itemId).getContext(), mainactivity.class);
                    break;
                case R.id.item2:
                    myAct = new Intent(findViewById(itemId).getContext(), secondactivity.class);
                    break;
                case R.id.item3:
                    myAct = new Intent(findViewById(itemId).getContext(), thirdactivity.class);
                    break;
            }
               startActivity(myAct);
        }
    });
}`

But how can i set the third tab as default oncreate the activity. The above code highlights the first tab as selected and no even listened when clicking on first tab. Also later tabs opens the respective activities but not highlights as current tab.

@mpsbhat Try setting the default tab before your set the listener

bottomBar.setDefaultTab(R.id.tab_default);
bottomBar.setOnTabSelectListener(this);

This applies for version 2.0.2

If you set the listener before the default tab, it will be called twice. Once for tab position 0 and then for anything you set as default, which is usually not desired.

@roughike Would be nice to set the default tab before the the creation of bottombar, or a warning in the readme.

Myself can use bottomBar.setDefaultTabPosition(desiredTabId); to set the default tab. But uses higher memory and application gets slow down and sometime crashes. What is the fix?
