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

Best practice:

• Add compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.1' to gradle file
• Use CoordinatorLayout as root view.
• Add layout_anchorto the FAB and set it to the top view
• Add layout_anchorGravity to the FAB and set it to: bottom|right|end

<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">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/viewA"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="0.6"
            android:background="@android:color/holo_purple"
            android:orientation="horizontal"/>

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/viewB"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="0.4"
            android:background="@android:color/holo_orange_light"
            android:orientation="horizontal"/>

    </LinearLayout>

    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_done"
        app:layout_anchor="@id/viewA"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right|end"/>

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Seems like the cleanest way in this example is to:

• Use a RelativeLayout
• Position the 2 adjacent views one below the other
• Align the FAB to the parent right/end and add a right/end margin
• Align the FAB to the bottom of the header view and add a negative margin, half the size of the FAB including shadow

Example adapted from shamanland implementation, use whatever FAB you wish. Assume FAB is 64dp high including shadow:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <View
        android:id="@+id/header"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="120dp"
    />

    <View
        android:id="@+id/body"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@id/header"
    />

    <fully.qualified.name.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@id/header"
        android:layout_marginBottom="-32dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
    />

</RelativeLayout>

You can import the sample project of Google in Android Studio by clicking File > Import Sample...

This Sample contains a FloatingActionButton View which inherits from FrameLayout.

Edit With the new Support Design Library you can implement it like in this example: https://github.com/chrisbanes/cheesesquare
