FAB animation with viewpager/tabslider

Question

I'm trying to find way to achieve such effect https://material-design.storage.googleapis.com/publish/material_v_4/material_ext_publish/0B6Okdz75tqQsVlhxNGJCNTEzNFU/components-buttons-fab-behavior_04_xhdpi_009.webm

I'm using android.support.v4.view.ViewPager

I appreciate any hints and help

Answer 1

First, you need to have the layout with the floating action button anchored to the ViewPager:

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    android:id="@+id/main_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <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.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/action_bar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>

        <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:id="@+id/tabs"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@android:color/white"
            app:tabGravity="center"
            app:tabIndicatorColor="?attr/colorAccent"
            app:tabMode="scrollable"
            app:tabSelectedTextColor="?attr/colorAccent"
            app:tabTextColor="@android:color/black" />

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

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />

     <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
            android:id="@+id/fab"
            app:layout_anchor="@id/viewpager"
            app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right|end"
            android:layout_width="56dp"
            android:layout_height="56dp"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_add_white"
            app:borderWidth="@dimen/fab_border_width"
            app:fabSize="normal" />

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

Now that you have the FAB anchored to the ViewPager (note: I've tried this on a fragment that is a tab in the viewpager; it does not seem to behave properly), add an OnPageChangeListener to your ViewPager like so:

 viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int position) {

            switch (position) {
                case INDEX_OF_TAB_WITH_FAB:
                    fab.show();
                    break;

                default:
                    fab.hide();
                    break;
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {

        }
    });

The animations for the "pop" and the "shrink" upon switching tabs are handled automatically for you with the new version of the Support Library.

Answer 2

Here is another solution. The problem for me with other ones is that giving the control of the FAB to the activity that contains the ViewPager makes thing difficult to code.

I need lots of controls on the FAB by the Fragments to easily change the FAB icon and set specific listeners on it.

Roughly, the steps are:

1. Declares one FAB in the main activity that contains the ViewPager, and not in the fragments (it is a mandatory step that I wanted to avoid, but the magic comes after; doing otherwise makes things difficult for a good animation)
2. In each fragment to be displayed in the ViewPager, I create a method where I can pass a FAB, like public void shareFab(FloatingActionButton sharedFab); inside this method, each fragment will set the FAB icon and add the needed listeners
3. I set up a ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener listener on the ViewPager that will trigger animations and calls my shareFab methods.

So each time a fragment is displayed, the containing activity will give to the displayed fragment the reference of the FAB. The fragment then reset/recycle the FAB to suit its needs.

Here is an example:

The fragments to display

public void Fragment1 extends Fragment {

    private FloatingActionButton mSharedFab;

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        mSharedFab = null; // To avoid keeping/leaking the reference of the FAB
    }

    public void shareFab(FloatingActionButton fab) {
        if (fab == null) { // When the FAB is shared to another Fragment
            if (mSharedFab != null) {
                mSharedFab.setOnClickListener(null);
            }
            mSharedFab = null;
        }
        else {
            mSharedFab = fab;
            mSharedFab.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_search);
            mSharedFab.setOnClickListener((fabView) -> {
                // Your code
            });
        }
    }
}

The container activity

public class ActivityMain extends AppCompatActivity {

    FloatingActionButton mSharedFab;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        mSharedFab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.shared_fab);

        ViewPagerAdapter adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
        Fragment1 fragment1 = new Fragment1();
        Fragment2 fragment2 = new Fragment2();
        adapter.addFragment(fragment1, "Fragment1");
        adapter.addFragment(fragment2, "Fragment2");
        ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);

        fragment1.shareFab(mSharedFab); // To init the FAB
        viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) { }
            @Override
            public void onPageSelected(int position) {  }
            @Override
            public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
                switch (state) {
                    case ViewPager.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING:
                        mSharedFab.hide(); // Hide animation
                        break;
                    case ViewPager.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE:
                        switch (viewPager.getCurrentItem()) {
                            case 0:
                                fragment2.shareFab(null); // Remove FAB from fragment
                                fragment1.shareFab(mSharedFab); // Share FAB to new displayed fragment
                                break;
                            case 1:
                            default:
                                fragment1.shareFab(null); // Remove FAB from fragment
                                fragment2.shareFab(mSharedFab); // Share FAB to new displayed fragment
                                break;
                        }
                        mSharedFab.show(); // Show animation
                        break;
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

... and the classical layout of the main activity

<?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"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">

        <android.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />

        <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:id="@+id/tabs"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:tabMode="fixed"
            app:tabGravity="fill"/>

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

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"  />

    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/shared_fab"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin" />

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

The pros are:

• animation like the one described in the Material Design guidelines!
• full control of the FAB by each fragments

The cons are:

• since the FAB can be shared to another fragments, the reference of the FAB should be checked each time to be sure it is not null
• declaration of the FAB at the level of the ViewPager, a little cumbersome

Answer 3

For good animation of hide and show use this :

mViewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onPageSelected(int position) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
                switch (state){
                    case ViewPager.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE:
                        fab.show();
                        break;
                    case ViewPager.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING:
                    case ViewPager.SCROLL_STATE_SETTLING:
                        fab.hide();
                        break;
                }

            }
        });
