An Android library written in Java that adds Facebook Messenger-style chat head (floating bubble) capabilities to Android apps. It provides a BubbleLayout view and a BubblesManager for attaching draggable bubbles and a trash target to the window overlay.

Use cases

  • add chat heads to my android messaging app
  • show a draggable floating bubble overlay in android
  • implement messenger-style bubble ui on android
  • add a floating widget that can be dragged and dismissed
  • integrate chat head feature quickly into an android app

When to choose

  • you need Facebook Messenger-style floating chat heads in an Android app
  • you want a simple, fast-to-integrate Java library for draggable overlay bubbles
  • you need a built-in trash/dismiss target for on-screen bubbles

When to avoid

  • you need modern Android 10+ bubble API support or active maintenance
  • your project is in Kotlin and you prefer a Kotlin-first library
  • you need cross-platform floating overlays outside Android
