What it is

This is a Material Design-compliant Floating Action Button (FAB) library for Android that provides a customizable, feature-rich implementation of the official Material Design FAB spec. It includes FloatingActionButton (single button with optional progress indicator) and FloatingActionMenu (button that expands to reveal multiple action buttons) components, with support for ripple effects, custom animations, shadow control, and both normal (56dp) and mini (40dp) sizes. Standard Android library monorepo structure: /library contains the source code with core classes (FloatingActionButton.java, FloatingActionMenu.java, Label.java, Util.java) in /library/src/main/java/com/github/clans/fab/,…

Start here

Open these first:

• library/src/main/java/com/github/clans/fab/FloatingActionButton.java — Core FAB widget implementation—handles rendering, animations, and user interactions; the primary public API that all…
• library/src/main/java/com/github/clans/fab/FloatingActionMenu.java — Menu container for multiple FABs—orchestrates layout, animation timing, and state management for the entire FAB menu system
• library/src/main/java/com/github/clans/fab/Label.java — Label widget paired with FABs—renders text labels and handles positioning/animations alongside menu items
• library/src/main/res/values/attrs.xml — Defines all custom XML attributes for FAB and menu customization; required to understand configuration options

1. Clone: git clone https://github.com/Clans/FloatingActionButton.git && cd FloatingActionButton. 2. Sync Gradle: ./gradlew clean build (uses included Gradle wrapper). 3. Run sample app: `./gradlew :sample:installDe…

Daily commands:

Open in Android Studio → Sync Gradle → Run sample/ module on emulator/device. Or CLI: ./gradlew :sample:installDebug && adb shell am start com.dmytrotarianyk.fab/.MainActivity.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 7y ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 77% of recent commits
• 1. minSdkVersion 14 is ancient: Codebase predates Android 5.0 Lollipop (API 21); modern projects target API 21+. Ripple effects work differently on pre-Lollipop. 2. No test coverage:…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
