Demo

Integration

1) Add as a dependency to your build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.melnykov:floatingactionbutton:1.0.5'
}

2) Add the com.melnykov.fab.FloatingActionButton to your layout XML file. The button should be placed in the bottom right corner of the screen. The width and height of the floating action button are hardcoded to 56dp for the normal and 40dp for the mini button as specified in the guidlines.

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
             xmlns:fab="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
             android:layout_width="match_parent"
             android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ListView
            android:id="@android:id/list"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

    <com.melnykov.fab.FloatingActionButton
            android:id="@+id/button_floating_action"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
            android:layout_margin="16dp"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_action_content_new"
            fab:fab_colorNormal="@android:color/holo_red_dark"
            fab:fab_colorPressed="@android:color/holo_red_light"/>
</FrameLayout>

3) Attach the ListView or the GridView to the button in the Java code:

ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);
FloatingActionButton floatingActionButton = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.button_floating_action);
floatingActionButton.attachToListView(listView);

FloatingActionButton extends android.widget.ImageButton so it has all methods the latter has.

4) Add the namespace xmlns:fab="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" to your layout file.

• Set the button type (normal or mini) via the fab_type xml attribute (default is normal):

  fab:fab_type="mini"

  or

  floatingActionButton.setType(FloatingActionButton.TYPE_MINI);

• Set the normal and pressed colors via the xml attributes:

  fab:fab_colorNormal="@android:color/holo_red_dark"
  fab:fab_colorPressed="@android:color/holo_red_light"

  or

  floatingActionButton.setColorNormal(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.holo_red_dark));
  floatingActionButton.setColorPressed(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.holo_red_light));

• Enable/disable the button shadow with the fab_shadow xml attribite (it's enabled by default):

  fab:fab_shadow="false"

  or

  floatingActionButton.setShadow(false);

• Show/hide the button expliciltly:

  floatingActionButton.show();
  floatingActionButton.hide();
  
  floatingActionButton.show(false); // Show without an animation
  floatingActionButton.hide(false); // Hide without an animation

5) Set an icon for the FloatingActionButton using android:src xml attribute. Use drawables of size 24dp as specified by guidlines. Icons of desired size can be generated with Android Asset Studio.
