Quastion aboud FloatingActionButton (diamond)

I trying to make FAB with diamond shape.
A lot of articles is saying the same:
Ok, let's go to my code:
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/addCost"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_anchor="#id/bottomAppBar"
app:shapeAppearance="#style/FabDiamondOverlay"
android:src="#drawable/baseline_add_white_24"/>
<com.google.android.material.bottomappbar.BottomAppBar
android:id="#+id/bottomAppBar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="#style/BottomAppBarTheme"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
app:fabCradleMargin="10dp"/>
And the result is:
Whats wrong with this FAB ? Why it is circle instead of diamond shape ? It should be diamond, like examples in all articles all over Internet
My stile file looks like:
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
...
<style name="FabDiamondOverlay" parent="">
<item name="cornerFamily">cut</item>
<item name="cornerSize">8dp</item>
</style>
<style name="BottomAppBarTheme" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.BottomAppBar.Colored">
<item name="android:itemBackground">#android:color/black</item>
</style>
</resources>
Currently the shape theming attributes doesn't affect the BottomAppBar and you can only have rounded corners for the FAB cradle.
All layout file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
tools:context=".presantation.FragmentCost">
<!-- TODO: Update blank fragment layout -->
<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/addCost"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_anchor="#id/bottomAppBar"
app:shapeAppearance="#style/FabDiamondOverlay"
android:src="#drawable/baseline_add_white_24"/>
<com.google.android.material.bottomappbar.BottomAppBar
android:id="#+id/bottomAppBar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="#style/BottomAppBarTheme"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
app:fabCradleMargin="10dp"/>
</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Maybe the problem in theme file
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="Theme.SplitCost" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar">
<!-- Primary brand color. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/purple_500</item>

<item name="colorOnPrimary">#color/white</item>
<!-- Secondary brand color. -->
<item name="colorSecondary">#color/teal_200</item>
<item name="colorSecondaryVariant">#color/teal_700</item>
<item name="colorOnSecondary">#color/black</item>
<!-- Status bar color. -->
<item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="l">?attr/colorPrimaryVariant</item>
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
<style name="Theme.SplitCost.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
<style name="Theme.SplitCost.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
<style name="Theme.SplitCost.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
<style name="FabDiamondOverlay" parent="">
<item name="cornerFamily">cut</item>
<item name="cornerSize">8dp</item>
</style>
<style name="BottomAppBarTheme" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.BottomAppBar.Colored">
<item name="android:itemBackground">#android:color/black</item>
</style>
</resources>

Sorry! It is a bug of Android Studio. On real device this button is diamond !
If someone have a problem like it, don't worry/ Don't trust Android Studio Preview !

How to use MaterialButtonToggleGroup without inheriting from a Material Components theme

I want to create MaterialButtonToggleGroup without having my AppTheme inheriting Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar. So I tried to inherit Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar.Bridge but then the MaterialButtonToggleGroup is completely gone, does not show anything on the view. It does work when I remove the .Bridge. How to correctly use MaterialButtonToggleGroup without inheriting from a Material Components theme?

I overlooked that the error log said that the buttons inside MaterialButtonToggleGroup must be MaterialButton. When not inheriting Material Components theme, I have to explicitly use MaterialButton class instead of Button class.

Toolbar going underneath status bar both in Activity and Fragment android

I want to achieve a transparent status bar in pre lollipop and above lollipop as well. My minimumSdkLevel is 19. I have tried the following method to achieve transparent statusbar. But the toolbar is going underneath statusbar.
Here is the screenshot (This is a Full screen Fragment with Toolbar on it):

Window window = getWindow();
window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS);
}
Why I am not getting transparent Statusbar and why Toolbar is going underneath Statusbar?

in default style.xml
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="BGTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>

</style>
<style name="BGTheme.ActionBar.Transparent.AppBarOverlay"
parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
<style name="BGTheme.ActionBar.Transparent.PopupOverlay"
parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
and in your v-21 style.xml
<style name="BGTheme.ActionBar.Transparent" parent="BGTheme">
<item name="colorPrimary">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
Note: Add this in your root layout android:fitsSystemWindows="true"

remove if statment
not work below 21
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS);

add flowing lines in your 'style.xml'
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#android:color/transparent</item>

EDIT:
try Using the following Line in your Base View.
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
as it is mention also
android:fitsSystemWindows is an
internal attribute to adjust view layout based on system windows such
as the status bar. If true, adjusts the padding of this view to leave
space for the system windows. Will only take effect if this view is in
a non-embedded activity.
Must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false".
This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form
"#[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form
"?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.
This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol
fitsSystemWindows.
You can also use it globally by using the below line in your theme
<item name="android:fitsSystemWindows">true</item>
I hope it helps. It works in my Project.

popup menu items on listView are not visible

I have tried many solutions that were asked before ( all were about toolbar menu) but none worked for me.
I defined a new style in styles.xml
<style name="itemTextStyle.AppTheme" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/black</item>
<item name="android:colorBackground">#color/colorPrimary</item>
and included it in AppTheme which didn't work.then I included it in toolbar style, menu layout, QuizFragment layout but items were still invisible.How to change the background color or item color of menu to fix this, any one will work.

Try this
style.xml
<style name="CustomActionBarTheme" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/OverflowButton</item>
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/OverflowButton</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">#style/PopupMenuListView</item>
<item name="dropDownListViewStyle">#style/PopupMenuListView</item>
<item name="actionOverflowMenuStyle">#style/OverflowMenu</item>
<item name="actionBarDivider">#null</item>
<!-- OverFlow Menu Text Color -->
<item name="android:textColor">#color/black</item>
</style>
<!-- OverFlow menu Styles -->
<style name="PopupMenuListView" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ListView.DropDown">
<item name="android:divider">#color/black</item>
<item name="android:dividerHeight">1dp</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="OverflowMenu" parent="Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu.Overflow">
<!-- Required for pre-Lollipop. -->
<item name="overlapAnchor">false</item>
<!-- Required for Lollipop. -->
<item name="android:overlapAnchor">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">4.0dip</item>
</style>
and define theme for Activity in AndroidManifest.xml
<activity
android:name=".YourActivityName"
android:theme="#style/CustomActionBarTheme"/>

I am using only two themes files (for dark, and day)
Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar.Bridge
inside them, I have only items of the same name for both day and night, but in different colors. Found (after experimenting)...that this line is a game-changer in my case (same problem as yours) for title and menu to be white, while at the same time text on popup menu is black
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
here is the whole file, I used only this, and trying to not hard code anything.
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="Theme.Ch+++itche+++++" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar.Bridge">
<!-- Primary brand color. -->
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primaryColor</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryVariant">#color/primaryDarkColor</item>
<item name="colorOnPrimary">#color/primaryLightColor</item>
<item name="colorOnSurface">#color/primaryColorWhiteDay</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="l">?attr/colorPrimaryVariant</item>
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
That is all,
Happy coding,

How to remove background of action menu item?

I have got the following action menu:
As you can see all of these action menu items are having a
background. i guess it is the same background like the parent.
How can i remove this background?
My style.xml is the following:
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base"></style>
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primaryColorDark</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primaryColor</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accentColor</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/textcolorsecundary</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/textcolorsecundary</item>
<item name="android:actionModeBackground">#color/primaryColor</item>
<item name="android:windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:activatedBackgroundIndicator">#drawable/custom_background_listview_item</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.Toolbar" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/textcolorsecundary</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/textcolorsecundary</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/textcolorsecundary</item>
<item name="android:showDividers">beginning</item>
<item name="android:divider">#color/primaryColorDark</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/custom_background_blue</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.Toolbar.PopupMenu" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#color/primaryColor</item>
</style>
</resources>
My Toolbar:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:elevation="2dp"
android:focusable="false"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.Toolbar.PopupMenu"
app:theme="#style/AppTheme.Toolbar" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/toolbar_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#null"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

The following line is the problem
<style name="AppTheme.Toolbar" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/custom_background_blue</item>
</style>
Since the above is applied not as style but as a theme (presumably via popupTheme attribute on your Toolbar element), all the widgets inside the toolbar inherit these settings. What you want is android:popupBackground instead of android:background.
Edit: OP stated the above is not sufficient. For styling toolbar's popup menu (not the toolbar itself) use the app:popupTheme attribute. The theme is going to be similar to this:
<style name="AppTheme.Toolbar.PopupMenu" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#drawable/custom_background_blue</item>
</style>

You're setting the action background color explicitly in your style.xml same as the primary color.
<item name="android:actionModeBackground">#color/primaryColor</item>
Try removing this from your XML or changing it to a color that seems appropriate for your UI and it should work. If you don't choose to manually specify a color for the android:actionModeBackground, it will simple derive it's default value from the parent theme (in your case, Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar).
