Answer 1

fab.xml in drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:innerRadius="0dp"
    android:shape="ring"
    android:thicknessRatio="2"
    android:useLevel="false" >
    <solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" />

    <stroke
        android:width="3dp"
        android:color="@android:color/white" />
</shape>

Floating Action Button in layout

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/buttton_float"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_action_social_notifications"
        android:background="@drawable/fab"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
        app:fabSize="normal"
        app:backgroundTint="@android:color/white"
        app:rippleColor="@android:color/black"
        app:borderWidth="0dp"
        app:elevation="2dp"
        app:pressedTranslationZ="12dp"/>

Note : The custom design for your FAB is against the guidelines of Google Material Design for Floating Action Button

If you want to set Float button border then you just do this things. First Create one xml file

fab_background.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:innerRadius="0dp"
    android:shape="ring"
    android:thicknessRatio="2"
    android:useLevel="false" >

    <!--Here if you want to set transparent can set-->
    <solid android:color="@color/white" />

    <!--Here you can set your fab button border color-->
    <stroke
        android:width="3dp"
        android:color="@color/white" />
</shape>

Then after use like this in your xml layout file.

main_activity.xml

<RelativeLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/rl_content_main"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/black">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:padding="5dp"
        android:background="@drawable/fab_background">

        <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
            android:id="@+id/fab_map"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:elevation="0dp"
            android:src="@android:drawable/ic_media_play"
            app:fabSize="normal"
            app:elevation="0dp"/>
    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Answer 3

You can use the following solution:

app:backgroundTint="@android:color/white 

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab_add_doc"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:onClick="navigateToCreateActivity"
        android:backgroundTint="@color/colorPrimary"
        app:backgroundTint="@android:color/white"
        android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/fab_margin"
        android:layout_marginEnd="50dp"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_plus"/>

It works fine for the border. looks like below

First create a .xml shape resource let's call it ring.xml and put the following in it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <shape
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:innerRadiusRatio="1"
            android:shape="ring"
            android:thicknessRatio="1"
            android:useLevel="false">

            <solid android:color="#FFF"/>
            <stroke
                android:width="5dp"
                android:color="#000"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item>
        <bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:src="@drawable/ic_cast_light"/>
    </item>

</layer-list>

You will have to play with the thickness and innerRadius attributes to get it right, but that should do it! Also the bitmap source is just a filler, you want to put your F image there.

Then where you declare your fab, reference your ring like such:

android:background="@drawable/ring"

OR

In your java code, do the following:

FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ring);

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

you can make circle without drawable

  <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation_fab"
        style="@style/fab_material"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|center"
        app:borderWidth="3dp"
        android:backgroundTint="@color/mountain_meadow" // inner circle color
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:tint="@color/white"
        app:backgroundTint="@color/white" // border color
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/bottom_nav_star" />

output :
