FloatingActionButton

Yet another library for drawing Material Design promoted actions.

Features

• Support for normal 56dp and mini 40dp buttons.

  

• Customizable background colors for normal and pressed states (only solid colors supported) and icon drawable.

  

• Convenience AddFloatingActionButton class with plus icon drawn in code.

• FloatingActionsMenu which can be expanded/collapsed to reveal multiple actions.

  

Usage

The library will be soon available on Maven Central, but for now you have to build it and install it in your local Maven repo:

git clone https://github.com/futuresimple/android-floating-action-button
cd android-floating-action-button
cd library
gradle installArchives

And add the following configuration to your build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.getbase:floatingactionbutton:1.0.0'
}

To see how the buttons are added to your xml layouts, check the sample project.

Caveats

The API is extremely limited at the moment. It solves few select use cases in the app I'm working on.

Unlike some other FloatingActionButton libraries this library doesn't implement "quick return" pattern, i.e. hiding the button on scrolling down and showing it on scrolling up. That's intentional, I think that should be responsibility of another component, not the button itself.

Credits

I used FloatingActionButton library by Oleksandr Melnykov as a base for development.
