What is the problem or limitation you are having?
Android is now the only one of the main 5 platforms which doesn't support OptionContainer.
Describe the solution you'd like
Last time I looked into this, the recommended API was BottomNavigationView.
It requires an additional Gradle library, as shown here. This should be added to the Briefcase template, and the Toga code should be written such that if the library is missing, it doesn't crash unless the app actually tries to use the widget.
Like iOS, it has a limit of 5 items. Unlike iOS, I don't think it has any built-in overflow mechanism. For the initial implementation, we agreed we can just accept the limit and document it.
