Description
Right now, we use a tabbed toolbar for the Android Ti.UI.TabGroup. Having the [BottomNavigationView](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/BottomNavigationView.html) these days, it would provide be a much better parity between the both platforms, especially in terms of the UI (it is actually placed at the bottom, like the iOS Ti.UI.TabGroup).
In case someone doesn't want to wait for the SDK to expose this feature as well, you can use it today already. See [this commit](https://github.com/appcelerator/hyperloop-examples/commit/378b0d49f6e43512777e313cb2002588f7433d76) and ensure to stop by the [hyperloop-examples](https://github.com/appcelerator/hyperloop-examples) repo for more examples like Snackbar and RecyclerView!
