I am creating an app where a layer-list is used as background and a floating action button is also used. When the layer-list is set as the background of the relative layout, it changes the position of the FAB, but I cannot understand why it happens.
I want the FAB to be positioned at the bottom left. When I don't have the background set as my layer-list, it appears where I have coded.
But when I add the background attribute to the Relative layout, FAB automatically moves in.
I can't understand what is affecting this behavior of FAB.
XML for layer_list:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="@color/colorPrimary" />
<padding
android:bottom="64dp"
android:left="32dp"
android:right="32dp"
android:top="64dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="64dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="64dp"
android:topLeftRadius="64dp"
android:topRightRadius="64dp" />
</shape>
</item>
XML for Activity:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/home_layer_list">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text_view"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:textSize="36sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hello world" />
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:src="@drawable/ic_fab"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
app:backgroundTint="#FFFFFF"/>
How can I make the FAB move back to the position where it was initially?
Try to change your layout like below:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/home_layer_list">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:text="hello world"
android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary"
android:textSize="36sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</RelativeLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:src="@drawable/ic_fab"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
app:backgroundTint="#FFFFFF" />
</RelativeLayout>
