How can I add the new "Floating Action Button" between two widgets/layouts

I guess you have seen the new Android design guidelines, with the new "Floating Action Button" a.k.a "FAB"

For instance this pink button:

enter image description here

My question sounds stupid, and I have already tried a lot of things, but what is the best way to put this button at the intersection of two layouts?

In the above exemple, this button is perfectly placed between what we can imagine to be an ImageView and a relativeLayout.

I have already tried a lot of tweaks, but I am convinced there is a proper way to do it.

Using ConstraintLayout

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:padding="16dp"
    android:background="@drawable/bg_gradient"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="250dp"
        android:background="@android:color/white"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:paddingStart="16dp"
        android:paddingTop="16dp"
        android:paddingEnd="16dp"
        android:paddingBottom="40dp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.498"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="69dp">


        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView"
            android:layout_width="80dp"
            android:layout_height="80dp"
            android:scaleType="centerCrop"
            app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_quote" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="16dp"
            android:textColor="@android:color/black"
            android:textSize="20sp" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/linearLayout"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="@+id/linearLayout"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/linearLayout" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Best practice:

Add compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.1' to gradle file
Use CoordinatorLayout as root view.
Add layout_anchorto the FAB and set it to the top view
Add layout_anchorGravity to the FAB and set it to: bottom|right|end

enter image description here

<android.support.design.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">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/viewA"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="0.6"
            android:background="@android:color/holo_purple"
            android:orientation="horizontal"/>

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/viewB"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="0.4"
            android:background="@android:color/holo_orange_light"
            android:orientation="horizontal"/>

    </LinearLayout>

    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_done"
        app:layout_anchor="@id/viewA"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right|end"/>

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

Keep it Simple Adding Floating Action Button using TextView by giving rounded xml background. - Add compile com.android.support:design:23.1.1 to gradle file

Use CoordinatorLayout as root view.
Before Ending the CoordinatorLayout introduce a textView.
Inside Drawable draw a circle.

Circle Xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="oval">

    <solid
        android:color="@color/colorPrimary"/>
    <size
        android:width="30dp"
        android:height="30dp"/>
</shape>

Layout xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.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">


<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:weightSum="5"
    >

Add this to your gradle file

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
}

This to your activity_main.xml

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/viewOne"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_weight="0.6"
                android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_light"
                android:orientation="horizontal"/>

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/viewTwo"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_weight="0.4"
                android:background="@android:color/holo_orange_light"
                android:orientation="horizontal"/>

        </LinearLayout>

        <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
            android:id="@+id/floatingButton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="16dp"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_done"
            app:layout_anchor="@id/viewOne"
            app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right|end"
            app:backgroundTint="#FF0000"
            app:rippleColor="#FFF" />

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

You can import the sample project of Google in Android Studio by clicking File > Import Sample...

Import sample

This Sample contains a FloatingActionButton View which inherits from FrameLayout.

Edit With the new Support Design Library you can implement it like in this example: https://github.com/chrisbanes/cheesesquare

With AppCompat 22, the FAB is supported for older devices.

Add the new support library in your build.gradle(app):

compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'

Then you can use it in your xml:

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/fab"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
    android:src="@android:drawable/ic_menu_more"
    app:elevation="6dp"
    app:pressedTranslationZ="12dp" />

To use elevation and pressedTranslationZ properties, namespace app is needed, so add this namespace to your layout: xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

Seems like the cleanest way in this example is to:

Use a RelativeLayout
Position the 2 adjacent views one below the other
Align the FAB to the parent right/end and add a right/end margin
Align the FAB to the bottom of the header view and add a negative margin, half the size of the FAB including shadow

Example adapted from shamanland implementation, use whatever FAB you wish. Assume FAB is 64dp high including shadow:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <View
        android:id="@+id/header"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="120dp"
    />

    <View
        android:id="@+id/body"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@id/header"
    />

    <fully.qualified.name.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@id/header"
        android:layout_marginBottom="-32dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
    />

</RelativeLayout>

Now it is part of official Design Support Library.

In your gradle:

compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'

Try this library (javadoc is here), min API level is 7:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.shamanland:fab:0.0.8'
}

It provides single widget with ability to customize it via Theme, xml or java-code.

light between

It's very simple to use. There are available normal and mini implementation according to Promoted Actions pattern.

<com.shamanland.fab.FloatingActionButton
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_action_my"
    app:floatingActionButtonColor="@color/my_fab_color"
    app:floatingActionButtonSize="mini"
    />

Try to compile the demo app. There is exhaustive example: light and dark themes, using with ListView, align between two Views.
