[android] How can I add the new "Floating Action Button" between two widgets/layouts

Keep it Simple Adding Floating Action Button using TextView by giving rounded xml background. - Add compile com.android.support:design:23.1.1 to gradle file

  • Use CoordinatorLayout as root view.
  • Before Ending the CoordinatorLayout introduce a textView.
  • Inside Drawable draw a circle.

Circle Xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="oval">

    <solid
        android:color="@color/colorPrimary"/>
    <size
        android:width="30dp"
        android:height="30dp"/>
</shape>

Layout xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
