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
