FloatingActionButton doesn't hide

Question

I am trying to hide my FloatingActionButton fabLocation programmatically with :

fabLocation.setVisibility(View.GONE)

but it does not work.

If I add android:visibility="gone" in my XML layout, fabLocation is hidden when I run my activity but it reappears when I scroll.

Here is my layout:

Answer 1

It is due to the app:layout_anchor attribute. You must get rid of the anchor before changing visibility:

CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams p = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) fab.getLayoutParams();
p.setAnchorId(View.NO_ID);
fab.setLayoutParams(p);
fab.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Answer 2

FloatingActionButtons anchored to AppBarLayouts have a special relationship where their visibility is controlled by the scroll position of the AppBarLayout.

You can turn this off via the behavior_autoHide attribute:

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:layout_anchor="..."
    app:behavior_autoHide="false"/>

You can also do this programmatically if you wish:

EDIT:

fab.getBehavior() was not correct, use getBehavior() from its LayoutParams

CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams lp = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) fab.getLayoutParams();
FloatingActionButton.Behavior behavior = (FloatingActionButton.Behavior) lp.getBehavior();
if (behavior != null) {
    behavior.setAutoHideEnabled(false);
} else {
    behavior = new FloatingActionButton.Behavior();
    behavior.setAutoHideEnabled(false);
    lp.setBehavior(behavior);
}

Answer 3

I wasn't completely happy with any of the solutions posted. Some only worked part of the time, while others only worked for fab.setVisibility() . While I know this is technically what the original question asked, a few responses expressed interest in using fab.hide() , and messing with the layout parameters doesn't exactly get to the root of the issue.

As pointed out by @ChrisBanes, the FloatingActionButton.Behavior being tied to the AppBarLayout is what causes the issue. So, as with his answer, you have to setAutoHideEnabled(false) to disable that functionality. But this solution doesn't help if you actually want the FloatingActionButton to hide automatically and when you call hide() manually.

So in order to do this; I simply disable the auto-hide functionality before I manually hide the Button , then re-enable the functionality after I manually show the Button :

private void hideFloatingActionButton(FloatingActionButton fab) {
    CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams params =
            (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) fab.getLayoutParams();
    FloatingActionButton.Behavior behavior =
            (FloatingActionButton.Behavior) params.getBehavior();

    if (behavior != null) {
        behavior.setAutoHideEnabled(false);
    }

    fab.hide();
}

private void showFloatingActionButton(FloatingActionButton fab) {
    fab.show();
    CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams params =
            (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) fab.getLayoutParams();
    FloatingActionButton.Behavior behavior =
            (FloatingActionButton.Behavior) params.getBehavior();

    if (behavior != null) {
        behavior.setAutoHideEnabled(true);
    }
}

Answer 4

The most simplistic way to hide and show a floating action button would be to call this in your activity. This will also properly animate your FAB automatically.

Hide:

nameOfYourFAB.Hide();

Show:

nameOfYourFAB.Show();

Answer 5

FloatingActionButton layers = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.layers);
layers.hide();

It works for me, setVisibility doesn't work for FloatingActionButton as it belongs to another viewGroup that doesn't have setVisibility method.

Answer 6

If you want to show hidden FAB

    <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/coordinator"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true">


    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
            android:id="@+id/appbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
    ...

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

    ...

    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
            android:id="@+id/fab"
            android:visibility="gone"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:clickable="true"/>

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

and

    CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams p = new CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams(CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    p.anchorGravity = Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.END;
    p.setAnchorId(R.id.appbar);
    p.setMargins(...);
    fab.setLayoutParams(p);
    fab.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

Answer 7

After some answers around, I founded the solution for my problem(also when the fab is hidden it can handle action!).

First of all I suggest you to replace .setVisibility(View.GONE) and .setVisibility(View.VISIBLE) with the methods .show() and .hide() . These last handle also actionMode .

The second problem for me was the action also handled when the fab was hidden, for resolve this I made it:

final CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams p = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams)floatingActionButton.getLayoutParams();
    if (show){
        p.setAnchorId(R.id.appBarLayout);
        p.width = CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
        p.height = CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
        floatingActionButton.setLayoutParams(p);
        floatingActionButton.show();
    }else{
        p.setAnchorId(View.NO_ID);
        p.width = 0;
        p.height = 0;
        floatingActionButton.setLayoutParams(p);
        floatingActionButton.hide();
    }

Answer 8

The real solution for your problem is to subclass default FloatingActionButton.Behavior to call setAutoHide(false) in their constructors, so you can control it yourself.

Note that I talk about bottom sheets below, but it is exactly the same problem for all anchored Floating Action Buttons, and it does respond to the question and should solve the problem as expected.

Alternatively, you can override the boolean onDependentViewChanged(…) method from your custom Behavior, copy the isBottomSheet(…) static method present in the FloatingActionButton.Behavior class, and only call & return the value of the super method if it's not a bottom sheet.

You can further customize the default behavior this way, or by extending the vanilla CoordinatorLayout.Behavior class directly, and you can cherry pick code to copy paste from the FloatingActionButton.Behavior class if needed.

Here's the code I used to control back the FAB visibility:

/**
 * Allows controlling the FAB visibility manually.
 */
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class FabManualHideBehavior extends FloatingActionButton.Behavior {

    public FabManualHideBehavior() {
        super();
        setAutoHideEnabled(false);
    }

    public FabManualHideBehavior(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        setAutoHideEnabled(false);
    }
}

And I applied it to my FAB in xml this way:

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    ...>
    ...
    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        ...
        app:layout_anchor="@+id/bottom_sheet"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="top|end"
        app:layout_behavior="your.package.name.ui.behavior.FabManualHideBehavior"/>

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Answer 9

here is simple solution

private var fabAnchorId: Int = View.NO_ID
private val fabParams: CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams
        get() = (fab.layoutParams as CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams)

fun showFab() {
    fabParams.anchorId = fabAnchorId
    fabParams.gravity = Gravity.NO_GRAVITY
    fab.show()
}

fun hideFab() {
    fabParams.anchorId = View.NO_ID
    fabParams.gravity = Gravity.END.or(Gravity.BOTTOM)
    fab.hide()
}

before show/hide we have to change anchor and gravity

Answer 10

None of these other solutions helped me 100%. I needed repeated, animated show and hide (like FAB.show() and hide() ) all while anchored to the app bar when visible.

I ended up creating the FAB new every time I showed it, manually inserting and anchoring it, and animating it based on the support library implementation. It's gross, but it works perfectly.

private void hidePlayButton(final FloatingActionButton fab) {
    // Cancel any animation from the default behavior
    fab.animate().cancel();
    fab.animate()
               .scaleX(0f)
               .scaleY(0f)
               .alpha(0f)
               .setDuration(200)
               .setInterpolator(new FastOutLinearInInterpolator())
               .setListener(new Animator.AnimatorListener() {
                   @Override public void onAnimationStart(Animator animation) {}

                   @Override public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                      coordinatorLayout.removeView(fab);
                   }

                   @Override public void onAnimationCancel(Animator animation) {}

                   @Override public void onAnimationRepeat(Animator animation) {}
               });
}

private void showPlayButton() {
    int fabSize = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.fab_size);
    int margin = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.fab_margin);
    final FloatingActionButton fab = new FloatingActionButton(getActivity());
    fab.setBackgroundTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(ContextCompat.getColor(getActivity(), R.color.tint)));
    fab.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.play));
    CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams p = new CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams(fabSize, fabSize);
    p.rightMargin = p.leftMargin = p.bottomMargin = p.topMargin = margin;
    p.anchorGravity = Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.END;
    p.setAnchorId(R.id.appbar);
    fab.setLayoutParams(p);
    // Start from 1 pixel
    fab.setAlpha(0f);
    fab.setScaleX(0f);
    fab.setScaleY(0f);
    binding.coordinatorLayout.addView(fab);
    fab.animate()
       .alpha(1f)
       .scaleX(1f)
       .scaleY(1f)
       .setDuration(200)
       .setInterpolator(new FastOutLinearInInterpolator());

    fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override public void onClick(View v) {
            hidePlayButton(fab);
            // do action
        }
    });
}

Answer 11

Simple code :

   public static void setVisibilityFab(FloatingActionButton fab, int visibility)
  {

        CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams p = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) fab.getLayoutParams();
        p.setAnchorId(View.NO_ID);
        fab.setLayoutParams(p);
        if(visibility==View.GONE || visibility==View.INVISIBLE)
            fab.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        else
            fab.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    }

Answer 12

我知道你的回答是关于如何让它为gone可见性而工作，但如果你使用invisible你就不用担心，而且代码更少。

Answer 13

I worked around the show()/hide() shortcoming by placing the FAB in or out of the screen using layout margins. example:

CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams p =
   new CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams(
      CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
      CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

p.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.LEFT;
int fabMargin = (int)res.getDimension(R.dimen.fab_margin);

if( enabled ) {
   p.setMargins(fabMargin,0,0,fabMargin);
}
else {
   p.setMargins(-200,0,0,fabMargin);
}
mFab.setLayoutParams(p);

Answer 14

I you use this code:

boolean mFabShouldBeShown;
FloatingActionButton.OnVisibilityChangedListener fabListener = new FloatingActionButton.OnVisibilityChangedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onShown(FloatingActionButton fab) {
            super.onShown(fab);
            if(!mFabShouldBeShown){
                fab.hide();
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onHidden(FloatingActionButton fab) {
            super.onHidden(fab);
            if(mFabShouldBeShown){
                fab.show();
            }
        }
};

public void methodWhereFabIsHidden() {
    mFabShouldBeShown = false;
    mFloatingActionButton.hide(fabListener);
}

public void methodWhereFabIsShown() {
    mFabShouldBeShown = true;
    mFloatingActionButton.show(fabListener);
}

Answer 15

If you want to hide the fab, you can try this: fab.hide();

else try fab.show();

enjoy.

Answer 16

To hide the floating button

fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams p = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) fab.getLayoutParams();
p.setAnchorId(View.NO_ID);
fab.setLayoutParams(p);
fab.hide;

and to re-show

fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams p = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) fab.getLayoutParams();
p.setAnchorId(View.NO_ID);
fab.setLayoutParams(p);
fab.show;

Answer 17

you can do it using this:

fab.setEnabled(false);
fab.setClickable(false);
fab.setAlpha(0.0f);

This is similar behavior as View.Gone
