Example of the icon rotation animation:
Sub ASFloatingActionButton1_ButtonClicked(open As Boolean)
    If open = True Then
        ASFloatingActionButton1.Base.GetView(1).SetRotationAnimated(250,135)
    Else
        ASFloatingActionButton1.Base.GetView(1).SetRotationAnimated(250,0)
    End If
End Sub
The orientation property is always based on the position of the view on your screen. That is, if you position the view at the bottom right, then use "BottomRight".
B4X:
ASFloatingActionButton1.Orientation = ASFloatingActionButton1.Orientation_BottomRight
The menu opens from bottom to top and the text is flush on the left.

B4X:
ASFloatingActionButton1.Orientation = ASFloatingActionButton1.Orientation_TopLeft
The menu opens from top to bottom and the text is flush on the right

Since 1.03 you can set FontAwesome and Material Icons to the view. Examples:
Set Main Button a Material Icon:
ASFloatingActionButton1.ButtonIconText.Font = xui.CreateMaterialIcons(24)'because the icon we want to display is an Material Icon
ASFloatingActionButton1.ButtonIconText.Text = Chr(0xE145)
Add Item Buttons with Font Icons:
ASFloatingActionButton1.ItemButtonProperties.IconText_Font = xui.CreateMaterialIcons(20)'because the next 2 item we want to add is a Material Icon
ASFloatingActionButton1.AddItem(Null,Chr(0xE859),"Test Text","")
ASFloatingActionButton1.AddItem(Null,Chr(0xE87D),"Test Text","")

ASFloatingActionButton1.ItemButtonProperties.BackgroundColor = xui.Color_ARGB(255,73, 98, 164)'the next item should be a blue button
ASFloatingActionButton1.ItemButtonProperties.IconText_Font = xui.CreateFontAwesome(20)'because the next item we want to add is a FontAwesome Icon
ASFloatingActionButton1.AddItem(Null,Chr(0xF179),"Test Text","")

Hi. It is a very good library.
Thank you very mutch! :)

Versatile and easy to use.
I have tried to explain everything as well as possible.

I am currently working on an update which will fix a few bugs and add an important feature so that you can use the library on the left of the screen or at the top of the screen.

Thank you for this very nice lib.
I only use B4X libs, and yours add so much value to B4X.
Here in Denmark it is 50/50 on Android and IOS, so we must always create apps for both systems.

With a white background I can see a border round the image, please help to get rid of it :)
You can change the borderwidth in the designer. :D:D

If I have only the Button item and no childs, then there is a little thing with events.

B4X:
Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    ASFloatingActionButton1.ButtonIcon = ASFloatingActionButton1.FontToBitmap(Chr(0xf090),False,20,xui.Color_White)
End Sub

Private Sub ASFloatingActionButton1_ButtonClicked(open As Boolean)
    If open Then
        ASFloatingActionButton1.CloseMenu
    End If
End Sub

I would expect that the next time I click the button, then I would get the event with open=true, again, but I dont.

Do you still need a "RemoveAt" function?
Are you a psychic, I was thinking about how to remove an item but I am sure that I didnt ask the question here ??
But I found :
B4X:
ASFloatingActionButton.Background.RemoveAllViews
and that is enough for me, for now.

I played with the idea myself, but currently I don't need it in my project, but maybe you do.

Update
  • V1.02
    • ButtonClicked-Event-Value Open is now always True if no childs exists
    • Add RemoveAt - removes a special child item
    • Add RemoveAll - removes all child items

It looks very nice, how many items can you add?, If there are many you can do scroll in the list?

Hi, Thank you for this very nice lib.
I have little problem: When I use it in Activity with CustomListView, the FloatingActionButton is sent back.
To resolve my problem, I add this 2 lines:
B4X:
ASFloatingActionButton1.Base.BringToFront
ASFloatingActionButton1.Background.BringToFront
IMHO the FloatingActionButton must be always bringtofront.
