# Floating Action Button Library for Android

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Scalified/fab.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Scalified/fab)
[![Maven Central](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/com.scalified/fab.svg)](http://search.maven.org/#search|gav|1|g%3A%22com.scalified%22%20AND%20a%3A%22fab%22)
[![Android Arsenal](https://img.shields.io/badge/Android%20Arsenal-fab-brightgreen.svg?style=flat)](https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/1522)

## Description

This Library contains implementation of the [**Floating Action Button**](http://www.google.com/design/spec/components/buttons.html#buttons-floating-action-button) for Android.

Floating action buttons are used for a special type of promoted action. They are distinguished by a circled icon floating above the UI and have special motion behaviors related to morphing, launching, and the transferring anchor point.

## Requirements

The Library requires **Android SDK version 9 (Gingerbread)** and higher.

## Gradle Dependency

```java
dependencies {
	compile 'com.scalified:fab:1.1.3'
}
```

> **Action Button** has a dependency on an external [**ViewMover**](https://github.com/Scalified/view-mover) library, which in turn has a transitive dependency on the [**UI Tools**](https://github.com/Scalified/uitools) library. 
If any of these libraries are already used in the project they must be excluded as transitive dependencies

## Activity Stream

[**Full ChangeLog**](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)

### 1.1.3 - *current*

1. Fixed [**issue #28**: move() method smearing on KitKat with snackbar](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/issues/28):
	* A fix was made within the dependent **ViewMover** library.
	  Only **ActionButton** dependency on **ViewMover** library was updated
        
2. Changed the standard Android logging API to **SLF4J Logging API**

### 1.1.1 - *previous*

1. Fixed [**issue #27**: Icon is outside the circle](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/issues/27):

A call to **Canvas.restore()** without calling the **Canvas.save()** first resulted in the unpredictable behaviour.
	Added call to **Canvas.save()** before **Canvas.restore()** in the **RippleEffectDrawer** class

### Features in the next versions:

* **2.0.0**:

1. **API** change. Major refactoring. **Deprecated API** removal.
    2. New features - **confirmed**:
		* [**issue #13**: Request - Circular ProgressBar](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/issues/13)
	
## Demo

Subscribe the [**ActionButton YouTube Channel**](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ER2kmJfAcGwt6V77i4uGg)

### Button types

Floating action buttons come in 3 sizes:

* **DEFAULT (56dp)** - used in most cases
* **MINI (40dp)** - used to create visual continuity with other elements on the screen
* **BIG (72dp)** - additional button size, useful for large screens (not covered by Material Design)

### Color palette

The Library contains all of the colors **500** and **900** of the [**Material Color Palette**](http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-palette).

Colors **500** are used for the **NORMAL** button state while **900** ones for the **PRESSED** state:

### Shadow

Shadow **enabled** by default and has standard settings according to [**Material Design Guidelines**](http://www.google.com/design/spec/what-is-material/objects-in-3d-space.html). These settings are suitable in most cases. However, shadow can be modified in three ways: *radius*, *X-* or *Y-axis offset* and *color*.

Default | Radius | X- and Y- axis offset
:-:|:-:|:-:
![Default Shadow](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/blob/master/demo/default_shadow.png) | ![Shadow Radius](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/blob/master/demo/shadow_radius.png) | ![Shadow Offset](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/blob/master/demo/shadow_axis_offset.png)

### Stroke

Stroke is **disabled** by default.
Stroke can be modified in two ways: *width* and *color*.

### Effects

#### Shadow Responsive Effect

Shadow Responsive Effect means that shadow is changed in response to the user input.
Shadow Responsive Effect **enabled** by default.

#### Ripple Effect

A touch Ripple Effect indicates where and when a touch occurs within the **ActionButton** and acknowledges that the touch input was received.
Ripple Effect **disabled** by default.

![Shadow Responsive Effect](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/blob/master/demo/shadow_responsive_effect.gif) | ![Ripple Effect](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/blob/master/demo/ripple_effect.gif)

### Moving

**ActionButton** can be moved in any direction. [**ViewMover Library**](https://github.com/Scalified/viewmover) is used for performing the **ActionButton** moving

Left-Right Move | Up-Down Move
:-:|:-:
![Left-Right Move](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/blob/master/demo/move_left_right.gif) | ![Up-Down Move](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/blob/master/demo/move_up_down.gif)

### Animations

The Library has several predefined animations:

Fade In - Fade Out | Roll From Down - Roll To Down | Jump From Down - Jump To Down
:-:|:-:|:-:
![Fade In Fade Out](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/blob/master/demo/animation_fade_in_fade_out.gif) | ![Roll From Down Roll To Down](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/blob/master/demo/animation_roll_from_down_roll_to_down.gif) | ![Jump From Down - Jump To Down](https://github.com/Scalified/fab/blob/master/demo/animation_jump_from_down_jump_to_down.gif)

Scale In - Scale Out | Roll From Right - Roll To Right | Jump From Right - Jump To Right

## Usage

### Creation

#### Declaration inside XML resource

**ActionButton** button can be declared in the XML resource. For instance, using [**RelativeLayout**](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/RelativeLayout.html):

```xml
<RelativeLayout 
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:fab="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        >
        <com.scalified.fab.ActionButton 
            android:id="@+id/action_button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" 
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/fab_margin"
            android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/fab_margin"
            />
</RelativeLayout>
```

```java
// And then find it within the content view:
ActionButton actionButton = (ActionButton) findViewById(R.id.action_button);
```

> There are no required configuration parameters for it. All of the configuration parameters are optional.

#### Programmatically

```java
Context context = getContext();
ActionButton actionButton = new ActionButton(context);
// And then add it to the content view
```

### Button actions

#### Showing and Hiding

**Action Button** can be *shown*, *hidden* or completely *dismissed*:

```java
actionButton.show();    // shows the button if it is hidden and plays the show animation if set
actionButton.hide();    // hides the button if it is shown and plays the hide animation if set
actionButton.dismiss(); // completely dismisses the button and plays the hide animation if set
```

> After dismissal the button is completely removed from its parent view, so any calls to **show()** etc. won't be processed.

The current status of the button can be checked with the help of:

```java
// To check whether button is shown (inherited from android.view.View class):
boolean shown = actionButton.isShown();

// To check whether button is hidden:
boolean hidden = actionButton.isHidden();

// To check whether button is dismissed:
boolean dismissed = actionButton.isDismissed();
```

#### Playing animations

There are some cases when you need to force playing the animation without calling the **show()**, **hide()** or **dismiss()** methods. 
For instance, when your button appears within layout in the Activity for the first time. 
In such cases animations can be played apart from *showing*, *hiding*, or *dismissing* the button:

```java
actionButton.playShowAnimation();   // plays the show animation
actionButton.playHideAnimation();   // plays the hide animation
```

> Animations are played only if set. By default animations are not set.
>
> The best way to play the animation with the **Activity** launching is to override the [**onWindowFocusChanged(boolean)**](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Window.Callback.html#onWindowFocusChanged(boolean)) and call either **playShowAnimation()** or **playHideAnimation()** within it

#### Moving ActionButton

**ActionButton** can be moved within its parent container. While moving, translate animation is used.
There are methods for moving **ActionButton** in 4 standard directions:

```java
// Initialize the moving distance
int distance = 100.0f // in density-independent pixels

// Move ActionButton left
actionButton.moveLeft(distance);

// Move ActionButton up
actionButton.moveUp(distance);

// Move ActionButton right
actionButton.moveRight(distance);

// Move ActionButton down
actionButton.moveDown(distance);
```

The above methods will cover the most cases, however movement can also be customized in more advanced way:

```java
// Initialize the moving parameters
int xAxisDelta = 100.0f // in density-independent pixels
int yAxisDelta = 100.0f // in density-independent pixels
long animationDuration = 500L
Interpolator animationInterpolator = new AccelerateInterpolator();

// Create the moving parameters instance
MovingParams params = new MovingParams(getContext(), xAxisDelta, yAxisDelta, animationDuration, animationInterpolator);

// Move the ActionButton
actionButton.move(params);
```

> [**ViewMover Library**](https://github.com/Scalified/viewmover) is used for performing the **ActionButton** moving.
>
> For API lower than **Jelly Bean** *(version code 16)* moving is guaranteed to work as expected with **FrameLayout** and **RelativeLayout**. Working as expected with other layouts **not guaranteed**

### Customization

#### Button types

There are three types of **Action Button**, which you can work with:

* **DEFAULT** (56dp)
* **MINI** (40dp)
* **BIG** (72dp)

By default the button type is set to **DEFAULT**.

To work with button types use:

```java
// To set the button type:
actionButton.setType(ActionButton.Type.MINI);

// To get the button type:
ActionButton.Type type = actionButton.getType();
```

#### Button size

To work with **ActionButton** size use:

```java
// To get the ActionButton size
float size = actionButton.getSize();

// To set the ActionButton size
actionButton.setSize(60.0f); // in density-independent pixels
```

> Changing the default size of the button **breaks the rules** of [**Material Design**](http://www.google.com/design/spec/components/buttons.html)
>
> Setting the button size explicitly means, that button types with its default sizes are **completely ignored**. Do not use this method, unless you know what you are doing
	
#### Button states

There are two button states, which **Action Button** may reside in:

* **NORMAL**
* **PRESSED**
	
To work with button states use:

```java
// To set the button state:
actionButton.setState(ActionButton.State.PRESSED);

// To get the button state:
ActionButton.State state = actionButton.getState();
```

#### Button colors

Button colors can be set as for the **NORMAL** state, so for the **PRESSED** one. 
By default the following colors are set:

* **#FF9B9B9B** for the **NORMAL** state
* **#FF696969** for the **PRESSED** state

To work with button colors use:

```java
// To set button color for normal state:
actionButton.setButtonColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.fab_material_lime_500));

// To get button color for normal state:
int buttonColor = actionButton.getButtonColor();

// To set button color for pressed state:
actionButton.setButtonColorPressed(getResources().getColor(R.color.fab_material_lime_900));

// To get button color for pressed state:
int buttonColorPressed = actionButton.getButtonColorPressed();
```

#### Shadow

Shadow can be customized in three ways: *color*, *radius* and *offset*.
By default shadow **enabled** and has the following default values:
	
* **shadowColor** = **#42000000** (~ light-grey)
* **shadowRadius** = **8.0f**   (in density-independent pixels)
* **shadowXOffset** = **0.0f**  (in density-independent pixels)
* **shadowYOffset** = **8.0f**  (in density-independent pixels)

To work with shadow use:

```java
// To check whether shadow is present:
boolean hasShadow = actionButton.hasShadow();

// To set the shadow color:
actionButton.setShadowColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.fab_material_grey_500));

// To get the shadow color:
int shadowColor = actionButton.getShadowColor();

// To set the shadow radius:
actionButton.setShadowRadius(5.0f);

// To get the shadow radius:
float shadowRadius = actionButton.getShadowRadius();

// To set the shadow X-axis offset:
actionButton.setShadowXOffset(3.5f);

// To get the shadow X-axis offset:
float shadowXOffset = actionButton.getShadowXOffset();

// To set the shadow Y-axis offset:
actionButton.setShadowYOffset(3.0f);

// To get the shadow Y-axis offset:
float shadowYOffset = actionButton.getShadowYOffset();

// To remove shadow:
actionButton.removeShadow();
```

> Shadow radius and offset must be specified in density-independent pixels.
>
> For *API 21 Lollipop* and higher **elevation** can be enabled. In this case the default shadow becomes disabled and configuration of any of its parameters will be ignored.

#### Image

**Action Button** can have an image centered inside. By default the image **absent**. 
Any image can be used for adding. The Library has **fab_plus_icon** drawable, which can also be used. 
When an image is set its width and height are changed to the default values, which both are set to
**24.0dp** (according to material design guidelines). However this size is also adjustable.
 
To work with image use:

```java
// To check whether image is present:
boolean hasImage = actionButton.hasImage();

// To set an image (either bitmap, drawable or resource id):
actionButton.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
actionButton.setImageDrawable(getResource.getDrawable(R.drawable.fab_plus_icon));
actionButton.setImageResource(R.drawable.fab_plus_icon);

// To get an image:
Drawable image = actionButton.getImage();

// To set the image size (which is by default 24.0dp):
actionButton.setImageSize(30.0dp);

// To get the image size:
float imageSize = actionButton.getImageSize();

// To remove the image:
actionButton.removeImage();
```

> Image size must be specified in density-independent pixels. 
>
> Changing the image size **breaks the rules** of [**Material Design**](http://www.google.com/design/spec/components/buttons.html)

#### Stroke

Stroke can be customized in two ways: *width* and the *color*. Stroke **disabled** by default, however it has the default values:

* **strokeColor** = **Color.BLACK**
* **strokeWidth** = **0.0f** (no stroke)

To work with stroke use:

```java
// To check whether stroke enabled:
boolean hasStroke = actionButton.hasStroke();

// To set stroke color:
actionButton.setStrokeColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.fab_material_blue_grey_500));

// To get stroke color:
int strokeColor = actionButton.getStrokeColor();

// To set stroke width:
actionButton.setStrokeWidth(1.5f);

// To get stroke width:
float strokeWidth = actionButton.getStrokeWidth();

// To remove the stroke:
actionButton.removeStroke();
```

> Stroke width must be specified in density-independent pixels

#### Effects

##### Shadow Responsive Effect

Shadow Responsive Effect means that shadow is changed in response to the user input. When user clicks the button and holds it, shadow radius increased to a certain value. Then, when user releases the button, shadow radius decreased to its initial value.
Shadow Responsive Effect **enabled** by default.

To work with the Shadow Responsive Effect use:

```java
// To check whether Shadow Responsive Effect enabled:
boolean shadowResponsiveEffectEnabled = actionButton.isShadowResponsiveEffectEnabled();

//To enable or disable Shadow Responsive Effect:
actionButton.setShadowResponsiveEffectEnabled(true);
actionButton.setShadowResponsiveEffectEnabled(false);
```

> For *API 21 Lollipop* and higher **elevation** can be enabled. Shadow Responsive Effect won't be available in this case.
>
> Shadow maximum radius value is calculated by multiplying the shadow initial radius and shadow response factor, which is by default 1.75f. Shadow response factor can't be changed.
>
> Note, that having Shadow Responsive Effect enabled leads to **increasing** of the **ActionButton** general view size. In this case view size calculated based on the maximum value of the shadow radius. This means, that even if there is a place near the **ActionButton** unfilled, it is actually used by Shadow Responsive Effect

##### Ripple Effect

A touch Ripple Effect indicates where and when a touch occurs within the **ActionButton** and acknowledges that the touch input was received.
Ripple Effect **disabled** by default. Ripple Effect color by default is a darken variant (***20%*** darker) of the color for the **PRESSED** state

To work with Ripple Effect use:

```java
// To check whether Ripple Effect enabled:
boolean rippleEffectEnabled = actionButton.isRippleEffectEnabled();

// To enable or disable Ripple Effect:
actionButton.setRippleEffectEnabled(true);
actionButton.setRippleEffectEnabled(false);

// To set button color ripple:
actionButton.setButtonColorRipple(getResources().getColor(R.color.fab_material_grey_900));

// To get button color ripple:
int buttonColorRipple = actionButton.getButtonColorRipple();
```

#### Animations

**Action Button** supports 2 animation types: animation, which is played while *showing*
the button and animation, which is played while *hiding* the button. By default neither show animation,
nor hide animation **are set**.

To work with animations use:

```java
// To set show animation:
actionButton.setShowAnimation(getResources().getAnimation(R.anim.fab_fade_in));
actionButton.setShowAnimation(ActionButton.Animations.FADE_IN);

// To get show animation:
Animation animation = actionButton.getShowAnimation();

// To remove show animation:
actionButton.removeShowAnimation();

// To set hide animation:
actionButton.setHideAnimation(getResources().getAnimation(R.anim.fab_fade_out));
actionButton.setHideAnimation(ActionButton.Animations.FADE_OUT);

// To get hide animation:
Animation animation = actionButton.getHideAnimation();

// To remove hide animation:
actionButton.removeHideAnimation();
```

#### XML full configuration example

Firstly add the namespace:
```xml
xmlns:fab="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
```

Then refer the added namespace to configure **Action Button** parameters
```xml
<com.scalified.fab.ActionButton 
            android:id="@+id/action_button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/fab_margin"
            android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/fab_margin"
            fab:type="DEFAULT"
            fab:button_color="@color/fab_material_lime_500"
            fab:button_colorPressed="@color/fab_material_lime_900"
            fab:image="@drawable/fab_plus_icon"
            fab:image_size="24dp"
            fab:shadow_color="#757575"
            fab:shadow_radius="1.0dp"
            fab:shadow_xOffset="0.5dp"
            fab:shadow_yOffset="1.0dp"
            fab:stroke_color="@color/fab_material_blue_grey_500"
            fab:stroke_width="1.0dp"
            fab:button_colorRipple="@color/fab_material_black"
            fab:rippleEffect_enabled="false"
            fab:shadowResponsiveEffect_enabled="true"
            fab:show_animation="@anim/fab_roll_from_down"
            fab:hide_animation="@anim/fab_roll_to_down"
            />
```

> The above example contains all of the configuration parameters for **Action Button**, so there is no need to configure all of them, because they all have default values

## Logging

To enable logging:

1. Add the following dependency:

```java
	dependencies {
		compile 'com.github.tony19:logback-android-classic:1.1.1-3'
	}
	```
2. Create the **logback.xml** file in the **src/main/assets** with the sample configuration:

```xml
	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
	<configuration>
		<appender name="LOGCAT" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.android.LogcatAppender">
			<tagEncoder>
				<pattern>%logger{0}</pattern>
			</tagEncoder>
			<encoder>
				<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] [%logger{0}] - %msg%n</pattern>
			</encoder>
		</appender>
	
		<root level="TRACE" additivity="false">
			<appender-ref ref="LOGCAT" />
		</root>
	</configuration>
	```
	> You may wish to configure different appenders with different log levels for packages, classes etc.
	
	> More information about **LOGBack** can be found @ [LOGBack Project Site](http://logback.qos.ch)

3. Add the following **InvalidPackage** ignore rule into **lint.xml** file (located @ the root of the project):

```xml
	<issue id="InvalidPackage" >
    	<ignore path="**/logback-android-core/*" />
    </issue>
	```
