Simplify Floating Button Menus with FabOptions: An Android Innovation

In a modern mobile application, user experience is everything. Providing users with intuitive navigation is paramount to retaining engagement and enhancing functionality. FabOptions, an open-source Android library developed by JoaquimLey, offers a compelling solution to integrating floating action button (FAB) menus within Android applications, following the elegant Material Design guidelines using FAB and BottomSheet. This library presents a simplistic approach to incorporating a variety of menu options dynamically.

The integration of FabOptions is straightforward:

1. Adding Dependency: Begin by adding the library as a dependency in the build.gradle file of your Android project.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.joaquimley:faboptions:1.2.0'
}

1. Implementing Floating Button: Incorporate a floating button in the layout file and initialize it in the respective Activity.

<com.github.joaquimley.faboptions.FabOptions
    android:id="@+id/fab_options"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
    app:fab_icon="@drawable/ic_more_vert"
    app:fab_color="@color/colorPrimary"
    app:fab_plus_icon="@drawable/ic_add" />

FabOptions fabOptions = findViewById(R.id.fab_options);

1. Setting Menu Options: Define the menu options and showcase the floating button menu on the interface.

fabOptions.setOptions(new ArrayList<FabOptions.Option>() {{
    add(new FabOptions.Option("Option 1"));
    add(new FabOptions.Option("Option 2"));
    add(new FabOptions.Option("Option 3"));
}});

fabOptions.show();

Upon execution, a floating button appears on the screen, which, when clicked, unveils a menu.

FabOptions extends its functionality with additional features like:

• Option Click Events: Handle click events on menu options to trigger desired actions.
• Icon Customization: Customize menu options with distinct icons to enhance visual appeal.
