Is it possible to use, for example, the bottom navigation view in android 4.2 if it seems to be intended for android 6.0 and later, and if so how?

    Can I use for example the bottom navigation view in android 4.2

    Yes you can. This component is available in Design Support Library starting from version 25.0.0.

    To use BottomNavigationView you need to connect a dependency:

     compile 'com.android.support:design:27.0.0'

    which will allow to use this component on Android 2.1 and above.

    Ps. There is also a very convenient library BottomBar .
