Android Toolbar Button Library
==============================

The problem with anchoring a floating action button to a collapsing toolbar is that the CTA gets
hidden on scroll. This library allows you to artificially add a button in the toolbar with an
animation as soon as the FAB hides itself.

Works with Android 4.0+ (`minSdkVersion 14`).

Gradle
------

```
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.3.1'
compile 'am.gaut.android.toolbarbutton:toolbarbutton:0.1.0'
}
```

Usage
-----

Add this at the same level where your floating action button is defined in the activity.
[Example](https://github.com/GautamGupta/toolbar-button/blob/master/app/src/main/res/layout/activity_detail.xml#L155-L169).

```xml

```

You can treat the view as a
[Button](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Button.html).
Properties in the snippet produce a similar result as in the screen capture.

`@dimen/toolbar_button_padding` (16dp), `@drawable/selector_toolbar_button`
([see](https://github.com/GautamGupta/toolbar-button/blob/master/toolbarbutton/src/main/res/drawable/selector_toolbar_button.xml),
[v21](https://github.com/GautamGupta/toolbar-button/blob/master/toolbarbutton/src/main/res/drawable-v21/selector_toolbar_button.xml))
are supplied by the library.

`@drawable/ic_message_white_18dp` is a [material icon](https://design.google.com/icons/#ic_message).

`?attr/borderlessButtonStyle` and `@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.Button.Inverse` come from
the design support library.

Troubleshooting
---------------

**Q. The button hides on scroll. Why is this happening?**

The default elevation of 6dp is getting overridden, making it compete with the elevation of the
appbar. Try adding `android:elevation="6dp"` property on the view.

**Q. Does this work for Android versions before 4.0?**

It can be made to work for previous Android versions as well, using different implementation classes
like the Floating Action Button. If you take up the initiative, please submit a PR.
