Try putting it in a linear layout that have padding:

<LinearLayout
  width=".."
  height=".."
  paddingBottom="20dp"
  app:layout_anchor="@id/appbar"
  app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|center_horizontal">

  <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:layout_width="70dp"
        android:layout_height="70dp"
        app:fabSize="normal" />

</LinearLayout>

CoordinatorLayout Basic, By specifying Behaviors for child views of a CoordinatorLayout you can If you specify an Anchor using app:layout_anchor, then this attribute would be ignored. Questions: Given I'm using a layout like this: <android.support.design

As there might be bugs in the design-support-lib concerning the CoordinatorLayout & margins, I wrote a FrameLayout that implements/copies the same "Behavior" like the FAB and allows to set a padding to simulate the effect:

Be sure to put it in the android.support.design.widget package as it needs to access some package-scoped classes.

CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams, The new view must be direct child of CoordinatorLayout like the bottom sheet view. To anchor the new view to the bottom sheet, add app:layout_anchor with id of  One other thing to be aware of: That layout behavior will cause the FrameLayout height to be sized as if the Toolbar is already scrolled, and with the Toolbar fully displayed the entire view is simply pushed down so that the bottom of the view is below the bottom of the CoordinatorLayout.

Easy workaround is to anchor a random layout to where FAB was anchored, give it specific margin, and then anchor FAB to random layout, like this

<LinearLayout
 android:orientation="horizontal"
 android:id="@+id/fab_layout"
 android:layout_width="5dp"
 android:layout_height="5dp"
 android:layout_marginRight="80dp"
 android:layout_marginEnd="80dp"
 app:layout_anchor="@id/collapsing_toolbar"
 app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|end"/>

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/fab"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
    android:src="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_map"
    app:layout_anchor="@id/fab_layout"
    app:elevation="6dp"
    app:pressedTranslationZ="12dp"

To anchor the FloatingActionButton below the AppBar like this:

Extend the FloatingActionButton and override offsetTopAndBottom:

public class OffsetFloatingActionButton extends FloatingActionButton
{
    public OffsetFloatingActionButton(Context context)
    {
        this(context, null);
    }

    public OffsetFloatingActionButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

    }

    public OffsetFloatingActionButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr)
    {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom)
    {
        super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom);
        ViewCompat.offsetTopAndBottom(this, 0);
    }

    @Override
    public void offsetTopAndBottom(int offset)
    {
        super.offsetTopAndBottom((int) (offset + (getHeight() * 0.5f)));
    }
}

Using CoordinatorLayout in Android apps, In this example, views are coordinated with each other, in a glance, we can see how Let's see one of the simplest structures using the CoordinatorLayout : related to morphing, launching, and the transferring anchor point. layout_anchor spécifie View de votre choix View devrait être positionné (i.e., ceci View doit être placé par rapport à la View spécifié par layout_anchor l'attribut). Puis, layout_anchorGravity spécifie quel côté du relatif View View sera positionné, en utilisant le gravité valeurs ( top , bottom , center_horizontal , etc.).

I was able to get around this issue by using both layout_anchor layout_anchorGravity along with some padding.. The anchor attribute allows you to have a View position itself relative to another view. However, it doesn't exactly work in the same way that RelativeLayout does. More on that to follow.

layout_anchor specifies which View your desired View should be positioned (i.e., this View should be placed relative to the View specified by the layout_anchor attribute). Then, layout_anchorGravity specifies which side of the relative View the current View will be positioned, using the typical Gravity values (top, bottom, center_horizontal, etc.).

The issue with using just these two attributes alone is that the center of the View with the anchors will be placed relative to the other View. For example, if you specify a FloatingActionButton to be anchored to the bottom of a TextView, what really ends up happening is that the the center of the FAB is placed along the bottom edge of the TextView.

To get around this issue, I applied some padding to the FAB, enough such that the top edge of the FAB was touching the bottom edge of the TextView:

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/fab"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_anchor="@id/your_buttons_id_here"
    android:layout_anchorGravity="bottom"
    android:paddingTop=16dp" />

You might have to increase the padding to get the desired effect. Hope that helps!

app:layout_anchor: This attribute can be set on children of the CoordinatorLayout to attach them to another view. The value would be the id of an anchor view that this view should position relative to. Note that, the anchor view can be any child View (a child of a child of a child of a CoordinatorLayout, for example).

Comments

• Reported at code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=176096
• In what API version does the bug happen?
• Thanks. Nice try, BUT: LinearLayout does not declare an @DefaultBehavior which in will then disable the interaction with the parent CoordinatorLayout. For the FAB, I'm sure you have seen the cheese square demo: It will animateOut, once the scrolling threshold is reached. I still want that feature, just with a bit extra bottom margin.
• what about padding instead of margin for FloatingActionButton.
• Tried that without success. It is almost as if margins and paddings are completely ignored, once the behavior is set.
• This works in the sense that it offsets the fab with respect to the seam, but it breaks the hide/show animation, which isn't aware of the offset.
