How to animate FloatingActionButton of new Design Support Library

Question

I am using a TabLayout with 5 different fragments. On 3 of these fragments a android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton should appear. Right now I simply set the visibility of the FAB when the tab changes, but I would like to have an animation, where the FAB comes in and out. How can I achieve this in Android?

Answer 1

The hide/show animation for shrink/pop are automatically handled by the new version of the Support Library.(22.2.1) Then OnTabChange listener show or hide the floating action button using show/hide methods provided by the new library.

fab.show(); or fab.hide();

Answer 2

The design support library revision 22.2.1 (July 2015) added the hide() and show() methods to the FloatingActionButton class, so you can use these from now on.

You want something like this? But instead of animating it on onScrollListener you can animate it on onCreateView or onCreate method. Follow this --> Implement Floating Action Button – Part 2

Basically the code sums up only to this

Animate to Hide

FloatingActionButton floatingActionButton = (FloatingActionButton) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.fab);
                floatingActionButton.animate().translationY(floatingActionButton.getHeight() + 16).setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator(2)).start();

and

Animate back to Show

FloatingActionButton floatingActionButton = (FloatingActionButton) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.fab);
                floatingActionButton.animate().translationY(0).setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator(2)).start();

but we dont want it to animate just to hide it so, 'Animate to Hide' will just be something like this

FloatingActionButton floatingActionButton = (FloatingActionButton) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.fab);
                floatingActionButton.setTranslationY(floatingActionButton.getHeight() + 16);

On 'Animate to Hide' put that on the onCreateView or onCreate method so that on your FAB is hidden when you create this fragment and you could then add a handler and runnable that will trigger 'Animate back to Show' after a second or two to show your animation

or you could use a time for short animations

int mShortAnimationDuration = getResources().getInteger(
            android.R.integer.config_shortAnimTime);

I tried this one on onScroll but haven't tried on onCreateView or onCreate but I guess it should work

--EDIT--

Try this code ;)

public class DummyFragment extends Fragment {

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        int mShortAnimationDuration = getResources().getInteger(
                android.R.integer.config_shortAnimTime);

        FloatingActionButton floatingActionButton = (FloatingActionButton) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.fab);
        floatingActionButton.setTranslationY(floatingActionButton.getHeight() + 16);

        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                FloatingActionButton floatingActionButton = (FloatingActionButton) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.fab);
                floatingActionButton.animate().translationY(0).setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator(2)).start();

            }, mShortAnimationDuration);
        }
    }
}

The easiest way is to extend the FloatingActionButton class and override setVisibility. Like this:

public void setVisibility(final int visibility) {
    if (getVisibility() != View.VISIBLE && visibility == View.VISIBLE && inAnim != null) {
        animator = // create your animator here
        super.setVisibility(visibility);
    } else if (getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE && visibility != View.VISIBLE) {
        AnimatorListenerAdapter listener = new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animator) {
                Button.super.setVisibility(visibility);
            }
        });
        animator = // create your animator here
        animator.addListener(listener);
    }
}

The code above is taken from the Button class from my library. You can find sample implementations in sources.
