Is there a library for creating Floating Action Buttons with labels (similar to the Evernote app)?
Evernote Screenshot
The popular libraries seem to be
- https://github.com/futuresimple/android-floating-action-button (closest to what I want... ability to expand hide "sub" actions)
- https://github.com/makovkastar/FloatingActionButton (Primary function is to hide/show with a scrollview, recyclerview, or listview)
- https://github.com/oguzbilgener/CircularFloatingActionMenu (library which has been around pre-lollipop)
Neither of these, to my knowledge, have this capability. Before re-inventing the wheel, has somebody already done this?
This feature request ended up being implemented in https://github.com/futuresimple/android-floating-action-button. This includes labels on both the left and right sides.
If you're interested, see the discussion here: https://github.com/futuresimple/android-floating-action-button/issues/22#issuecomment-66155108
Disclaimer: I haven't used this (yet).
I'd recommend this library over others that I've seen.
Nowadays there are available techniques of manipulating behaviour of the view that enable you to program FloatinActionButton as you want and to have joy that you have made it by yourself!
Fade in/out FloatingActionButton while scrolling RecyclerView . DETAILS
Slide down/up , beside it blog says how to:
Expand floatingActionButton and show subFloatingButtons. DETAILS HERE
There is to much details, "how to do". Therefore I've attached just links to blogs. Anyway I encourage you guys to take a look at those blogs. You will have total control over your application. Currenty I use all solutions from both blog's. Enjoy!
Especially the last library you mentioned looks quite sophisticated. To my knowledge, you can set any kind of View
you want to be shown as a Button
.
This View
could simply be a custom-view of yours that shows an image as well as a label.
