Floating Action Menu always opens upwards

[PogopunkXIII]

I took the downward Floating Action Menu form the sample and dropped it in my project and can't seem to get it to expand downwards, no matter what I do it it always expands upwards.

In the layout design page it displays the FAM as if it's going to expand downwards, but when running on the emulator the FAM button moves down to the middle of the screen and when pressed the FABs expand up.

I definitely have the fab:menu_openDirection="down"

can you show the xml?

try this: xmlns:fab="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

This is a link to where I'm trying to use the floating Action Menu

I have met the same problem before. just change xmlns:fab="http://schemas.android.com/tools" to
xmlns:fab="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
