If you’re familiar with the new theme setup in Android since AppCompat v21, you’ll need to define 3 colors from the start. That being your colorPrimary, colorPrimaryDark and accent. However I’m pretty sure JUST those 3 isn’t enough for your robust app and to add to it, deciding on colors and how it would look is no ordinary feat (at least for me).
There are a lot of online resources that give us a visual palette to pick from. I’ll point you to one that gets the work done in just 2 clicks!
I’d recommend going through Part 1 of the implementation first. It covers how you can quickly setup a Floating Action Button. Though if you feel you’ve already got that covered, feel free to proceed.
In this part, I’ll show you how we can add some neat animations to our Floating Action Button (FAB) such as the initial grow animation, as well as a Quick Return pattern (famously seen on the Google+ app).
As developers, we code our apps stuffing them with every possible feature we thought of it to have. It originated with one great idea, and we thought of numerous ways to better it by adding more ‘cool’ features to it, overlooking app design. Finally when we’ve made our apps, maybe put it on the Play Store, showed it off to our friends and others, we may begin to see that not everyone is as pleased to use your app like you do.
