Floating Action Button Positioning with Drawer and fragment view

[jianglin612]

I currently am using a fragment and then also have a drawer. The code is as follows... Unfortunately this makes the Floating action button appear at the TOP LEFT instead of the bottom right area. Any idea how to fix?

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:fab="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/drawerLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<!-- The main content view -->
<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/mainContent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listview_main"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <com.melnykov.fab.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        android:src="@drawable/upvote"
        fab:fab_colorNormal="@color/material_blue_grey_800"
        fab:fab_colorPressed="@color/white"
        fab:fab_colorRipple="@color/blue" />

</RelativeLayout>

<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="280dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/drawerPane"
    android:layout_gravity="start">

    <!-- Profile Box -->

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/profileBox"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:background="@color/material_blue_grey_800"
        android:padding="8dp" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/avatar"
            android:layout_width="50dp"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:src="@drawable/upvote"
            android:layout_marginTop="15dp" />

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="42dp"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/avatar"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/userName"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="TOWNHALL"
                android:textColor="#fff"
                android:textSize="16sp"
                android:textStyle="bold" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/desc"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="bottom"
                android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
                android:text="View Profile"
                android:textColor="#fff"
                android:textSize="12sp" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>

    <!-- List of Actions (pages) -->
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/navList"
        android:layout_width="280dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@+id/profileBox"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
        android:background="#ffffffff" />

</RelativeLayout>

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Hi,

I experimented the same issue. FloatingActionButton isn't positioned correctly inside a RelativeLayout.

Try to change the RelativeLayout that contains the FloatingActionButton by FrameLayout.

I winded up doing that already, it solved the issue (although required another layer) Thanks!

@jdzuri thanks, that fixed it for me as well!
