Floating Navigation View

A simple Floating Action Button that shows an anchored Navigation View and was inspired by Menu Material Fixed created by Tommaso Poletti

Installation

Include the library in your build.gradle

dependencies{
    compile 'com.github.andremion:floatingnavigationview:1.3.0'
}

or in your pom.xml if you are using Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.andremion</groupId>
  <artifactId>floatingnavigationview</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.0</version>
  <type>aar</type>
</dependency>

Usage example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    ...

    <com.andremion.floatingnavigationview.FloatingNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/floating_navigation_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay"
        app:layout_anchor="@id/toolbar"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|end"
        app:drawMenuBelowFab="true"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/navigation_view_header"
        app:menu="@menu/menu_navigation_view" />

</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Custom attributes

  • The menu resource to inflate and populate items from <attr name="menu" format="reference" />

  • Layout resource to inflate as the header <attr name="headerLayout" format="reference" />

  • Item text customizations <attr name="itemIconTint" format="color"/> <attr name="itemTextColor" format="color"/> <attr name="itemBackground" format="reference"/> <attr name="itemTextAppearance" format="reference"/>

  • If menu must be drawn below the FAB <attr name="drawMenuBelowFab" format="boolean" />

The recommended way to customize the background color is by using the app:backgroundTint attribute in xml or setBackgroundTintList in Java

<com.andremion.floatingnavigationview.FloatingNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/floating_navigation_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:backgroundTint="#009688" />
mNavigationView.setBackgroundTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.parseColor("#009688")));

You can also set the button icon color according to the theme by setting the android:tint to a theme attribute:

<com.andremion.floatingnavigationview.FloatingNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/floating_navigation_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:tint="?android:textColorPrimary" />
