FloatingActionButton

Library to use the Floating Action Button (FAB) from Android L on Jellybean and KitKat.

Use Drawables of size 24dp as FabDrawables to get the desired look. Drawables can be generated via Android Asset Studio.

Instructions

1. Place the FAB in a FrameLayout and add your layouts above the FAB view. For best results, keep the FAB height and width at 72dp and in the bottom right of the FrameLayout

   <FrameLayout
       xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent">
   
       <!--
       Your layouts here. Do not put anything below the FAB layout
       -->
   
   
       <com.faizmalkani.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
           android:id="@+id/fabbutton"
           android:layout_width="72dp"
           android:layout_height="72dp"
           android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
           android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
           android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
           app:drawable="@drawable/ic_action_edit"
           app:color="@color/some_color"
           />
   
   </FrameLayout>

2. Initialize your FAB in your activity's onCreate()

   Fab mFab = (Fab)findViewById(R.id.fabbutton);

3. Set the drawable and color of the FAB

   mFab.setFabColor(int fabColor);
   mFab.setFabDrawable(Drawable fabDrawable);

4. If needed, call the other methods of the FAB

   mFab.hideFab();
   mFab.showFab();
   mFab.setAlpha();
   mFab.setOnClickListener();
