Is it possible to change the FloatingActionsMenu 's plus icon to other ones?

[OrNot]

Thanks a lot

[chalup]

Already answered in #41:

The problem with this request is that the icon is currently strictly connected with the animation: plus rotates 135 degrees and turns into "X", which closes the menu. So customizing icon would not be enough: you'd also have to customize the animation. I'll consider this for further releases, but it's not an area of focus right now.

Right now == forseeable future, unless someone comes up with a great, generic solution and implements it.

[str4d]

Here's an idea: If the FAM icon is set to anything (ie. not the default plus), then as the action menu expands out, that icon rotates about an axis in the plane of the screen (instead of perpendicular, like the current animation), revealing an "X". The reverse animation happens on collapse.

This is hard to convey in words, but imagine you are looking down at a roller which is moving a piece of paper. As the paper slides out, the roller turns, revealing a different side.

The direction that the icon rolls would depend on:

• The orientation of the FAM (the icon would roll in opposite direction for down vs. up, and would roll horizontally for a horizontal FAM).
• Whether the FABs in the FAM should be considered to be "under" or "over" the FAM's button. Returning to the roller analogy, this corresponds to whether the roller is beneath or above the paper; the different rollers turn in opposite directions to make the paper move in the same direction.

If this sounds like a great, generic solution then I can have a stab at implementing it :)

[chalup]

It is generic indeed, but I wouldn't call it great.

I'm leaning towards the Inbox approach, i.e. changing icon and replacing close action with custom action.

[DineshAnandan]

👍 for the option to replace + icon. Really most wanted feature too

[chap126]

The ability to achieve what Inbox does with the FAM would be excellent.

[ch3m1c]

Please add it, because + isn't just enough to describe what that FOA is going to do.. Inbox solution is great! ;)

Maybe you can start with just static icon (no animation at all, when user defined an icon)

[k0shk0sh]

well i have made some changes in code to be able to change icon inside of the floatingMenu. instead of adding AddFloatingButton i add FloatingButton plus i have made changes and added new attr to make the drawable works. i'll be requesting pull request.

Joining the request
btw I noticed the animation doesn't work after using proguard with a signed apk. any solutions for this problem?

[chalup]

@tamiof The proguard issue was fixed in 1.2.0. I just checked the output of gradle proguardRelease task in sample project and everything looks fine. Maybe you have some other conflicting proguard rules? Can you share your config?

[tamiof]

This is my proguard config. It's an old project that was handed to me so things might be out of date or conflicted
Do you see any conflicts here I missed?

@tamiof Please create a gist with this config, it got completely mangled by github markdown. And one more obvious question, just to confirm - are you using gradle to build your projects?

[tamiof]

@chalup this particular project does not use gradle build. Any chance switching to gradle might fix this issue? I've been postponing it for a while so this might be a good time to switch to gradle
https://gist.github.com/tamiof/8aa534ece3b64cb8bbb8

[chalup]

@tamiof no need to switch to gradle, you just have to add this proguard rules: https://github.com/futuresimple/android-floating-action-button/blob/master/library/consumer-proguard-rules.pro

Were you using gradle, the build system would apply these rules to your build automatically.

Is it possible to change AddFloatingActionButton background color for the FloatingActionsMenu programatically?
I can change color of child buttons but seems that the parent button color must be set only on XML

[chalup]

@rubdottocom this issue is tracked in #49

[rubdottocom]

Ooops! Sorry, thank you :-)

[tamiof]

@chalup guess I somehow missed on those particular rules. 10x!

[Poeschl]

Any new progress for this issue? If approved, I would like to solve it like here: http://eichefam.net/2014/10/27/inbox-fab/

[nasko700]

Here is how I fixed the problem with adding icon on the menu button:
I created a FloatingActionButton on the menu button(this way it's hidden) and every color transparent in menu button. Then I'm listening if the added button is pressed:
myButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@OverRide
public void onClick(View v) {
if(floatMenu.isExpanded()){
floatMenu.collapse();
} else{
floatMenu.expand();
}
}
});

Hope it helps.

@nasko700 lol, good trick 💃

@nasko700 : Thank you. You rock
