How to change FAB icon in an Activity during runtime. I have this code ->
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fabMainActivity);
I know this is possible using fab.setBackgroundDrawable();
but i am a newbie to android, don't understand how to do this.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Changing FloatingActionButton source:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
floatingActionButton.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_full_sad, context.getTheme()));
} else {
floatingActionButton.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_full_sad));
}
This can be replaced by following code from the support library instead:
floatingActionButton.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getContext(), R.drawable.ic_full_sad));
Or you use the Support Library:
floatingActionButton.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getContext(), R.drawable.ic_full_sad));
If you are using the Support Library:
floatingActionButton.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon_name)
Assume that you will use the image ic_arrow_forward.png as your fab's background:
fab.setImageResource(R.mipmap.ic_arrow_forward);
What I am using as follows,
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab_btn);
// State 1 -on
fab.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.fab_on));
// State 2 - off
fab.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.fab_off));
