I try to anchor an floating button on a cardview without success.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/card_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:background="@android:color/white"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="2dp"
card_view:cardElevation="2dp">
..... my view ...
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
app:layout_anchor="@id/card_view"
app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|end|right"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:clickable="true"/>
</LinearLayout>
The result is like this :
I want that floating button appear like the green circle.
This layout is used in RecyclerView
Is it a way to achieve this ?
Can you add below code your floating button
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/activity_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="297dp"
android:id="@+id/relativeLayout">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/card_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:background="@android:color/white"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="2dp"
card_view:cardElevation="2dp">
..... my view ...
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</RelativeLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
app:srcCompat="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email"
android:layout_marginRight="12dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="12dp"
android:layout_marginTop="165dp"
android:layout_alignTop="@+id/relativeLayout"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />
Before posting a question doa bit a googling, on the second result was this answer
EDIT
I implemented this in a separate project and it works fine...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:id="@+id/cv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="16dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="The Android Support Library package is a set of code libraries that provide backward-compatible versions of Android framework APIs as well as features that are only available through the library APIs. Each Support Library is backward-compatible to a specific Android API level.

</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
app:layout_anchor="@id/cv"
app:layout_anchorGravity="right|end|bottom"
android:layout_marginRight="32dp"
android:clickable="true"/>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Wrap the entire layout in a CoordinatorLayout
and define your anchor to the card view.
app:layout_anchor="@id/card_view"
app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|end|right"
Then it should work.
