How to change FloatingActionButton between Tabs?

Question

I\'m trying to implement FloatingActionButton from Google Design Support Library into two of three tabs, and according to t

Extending blackcj's Answer, The solution worked really good as explained. However I would like to add something in that.

I have watched that video in slow motion. The drawable and fab are animating differently. When hiding, fab and drawable are in sync. While showing, fab is coming back first, and after 60-70 percent completion the drawable start animation from 0 and rotating and scaling coming to full size.

However, I was not able to achieve drawable animating saperatly. But, I managed to rotate and scale with different Interpolators and slightly modified time. So it seems more like in the video which is also presented in google design guidelines.

int[] colorIntArray = {R.color.red,R.color.gray,R.color.black};
int[] iconIntArray = {R.drawable.ic_btn1, R.drawable.ic_btn2, R.drawable.ic_btn3};

    protected void animateFab(final int position) {
        fab.clearAnimation();

        // Scale down animation
        ScaleAnimation shrink = new ScaleAnimation(1f, 0.1f, 1f, 0.1f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
        shrink.setDuration(100);     // animation duration in milliseconds
        shrink.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
        shrink.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
                // Change FAB color and icon
                fab.setBackgroundTintList(ContextCompat.getColorStateList(getApplicationContext(), colorIntArray[position]));
                fab.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getApplicationContext(), iconIntArray[position]));

                // Rotate Animation
                Animation rotate = new RotateAnimation(60.0f, 0.0f,
                        Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF,
                        0.5f);
                rotate.setDuration(150);
                rotate.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());

                // Scale up animation
                ScaleAnimation expand = new ScaleAnimation(0.1f, 1f, 0.1f, 1f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
                expand.setDuration(150);     // animation duration in milliseconds
                expand.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());

                // Add both animations to animation state
                AnimationSet s = new AnimationSet(false); //false means don't share interpolators
                s.addAnimation(rotate);
                s.addAnimation(expand);
                fab.startAnimation(s);
            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {

            }
        });
        fab.startAnimation(shrink);
    }

And tab tab change listener as usual:

tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
    @Override
    public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
        mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
        animateFab(tab.getPosition());
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

    }
});
