I'm using the library https://github.com/futuresimple/android-floating-action-button to create the fab buttons that works pretty well. I tried several libraries but none use the effect used in most application with a fab (or Google apps like keep, inbox) that when the fab is clicked the background of entire application becames semi-transparent white or black, it depends. I can't find any way to do it. Is it possible have an example or something like that to do this kind of effect? You can see what i mean in this image:
