Hover is an Android library that provides an out-of-the-box floating menu implementation, plus tools for building custom floating menus. It supports dockable, expandable/collapsible overlay menus that run as foreground services on Android O and later.
Use cases
- add a floating menu to my android app
- implement a draggable overlay menu like facebook chat heads
- create a floating quick-access launcher on android
- show an expandable hover menu over other apps
- build a custom floating widget menu in java for android
When to choose
- you need a ready-made floating/overlay menu on Android with minimal setup
- you want a Java-based Android library you can extend into a custom floating menu
- you need Android O+ foreground-service overlay support
When to avoid
- you need a library with active maintenance or recent releases (last release 2021)
- you develop in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose and want modern UI idioms
- you need cross-platform floating UI beyond Android
