Bug with anchored FloatingActionButton in support library 24.2.1

Question

I have been having this issue since 24.2.0, but now I\'m using 24.2.1 and the bug is still here, it only works well <= 24.1.1.

I have an anchored FloatingActionButton

Answer 1

Bug reported and hopefully fixed soon. Please star it.

Answer 2

Well my friend there is another way to it using latest support libraries and not using any other thing .

Just use this -

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_add"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
        app:layout_anchor="@+id/appBar"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right" />

Answer 3

The solution was to set the FloatingActionButton visibility to GONE in the XML and when the map is ready set it back to VISIBLE.

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    . . .
    yourFAB.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}

EDIT: This is a workaround for this bug.

Answer 4

Marked as Fixed Issue is fixed and released in 26.0.0 version of support library.

Answer 5

As for 5/2/2017 (25.3.1) the bug still hasn't been fixed. After trying all solutions, the only one that worked for me was:

yourView.post(new Runnable() { 
    @Override 
    public void run() { 
        yourView.requestLayout(); 
    } 
}); 

Where yourView is the anchored view.
