Answer 3

You can now use the FloatingActionButton from the support-design library. Add this dependency to your gradle build file:

compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'

And then add the FloatingActionButton to your layout file:

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

Original post is here.

You can use this library, it works well from the Android 2.1, API level 7.

It's so easy to include it in your project:

build.gradle

dependencies {
    compile 'com.shamanland:fab:0.0.6'
}

layout.xml

<com.shamanland.fab.FloatingActionButton
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/your_image"
    />

Answer 6

I created an open-source library called FloatingActionButton. It's a Google+ like floating action button which reacts on the list view scrolling events. Becomes visible when the list view is scrolled up and invisible when scrolled down. API level 14+.
