Link an FAB to FAB behavior class


I'm trying to link my FAB to a FAB Behavior class so the swipe action hides the FAB, The app will crash on startup, I believe the problem is with the layout_behavior element of the FAB, when I remove that line from the XML the app works fines. The log is listed below.

Here a couple of the Tutorials I've tried.

https://guides.codepath.com/android/floating-action-buttons https://code.luasoftware.com/tutorials/android/android-hide-floatingactionbutton-on-scroll-down/ https://www.dev2qa.com/android-hide-floating-action-button-while-recyclerview-scroll-example/

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.1'

}

There is currently nothing in the Mainactivty.

activity_main.xml

<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout 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"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
    android:layout_margin="16dp"

    // I believe the probelm is here
    app:layout_behavior="com.example.deletefab2.MyFab"/>

</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

FAB Behavior class

package com.example.deletefab2

class MyFab : FloatingActionButton.Behavior() {
     // this secion i
     override fun nestedScroll( ...) {
          Log.i("FAB behavior", "its working")
     }

}

My understanding is the FAB should link to the Behavior class through layout_behavior, seems kind of odd to me that you should call this from an Activity.

Solution

  • Because the behavior class is defined in the XMXL, you must implement a constructor with context and AttributeSet to call the class linked with layout_behavior.

    class MyFABBehaviorclass (context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet): FloatingActionButton.Behavior() {
         ...
    }
