FloatingButton

In this project you will learn how to create a Floating Action Button in Android Studio.

Requirments

In order to use Floating Buttons, you must add the following to your app.Gradel file.

compile 'com.android.support:design:25.3.1'

Add a floating button to your layout

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton android:id="@+id/fab" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="10dp" app:srcCompat="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email" />

    *Tip*
    Wondering how to change the color of your button? Go into your colors.xml file
    and change "colorAccent" color to your desired color.

Add the java code

//Create a floating action button and hook it to your UI element. FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);

//Create an OnClickListener just like you would any other button. fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { //Create an Intent to go to another activity. //In this case, we are traveling to SecondActivity. Intent goToActivity = new Intent(getApplication(), SecondActivity.class); //Call startActivity and pass the Intent you created. startActivity(goToActivity); } });
