An Android library (Java) for displaying floating overlay views, such as chat-head style icons, on top of other apps using a foreground Service and FloatingViewManager. It supports API level 14+ and is now archived in favor of Android's native Bubbles API.
Use cases
- show a floating chat head bubble over other apps
- display a draggable overlay icon on android
- implement facebook-messenger style chat heads
- add a floating widget that users can drag and dismiss into a trash icon
- overlay ui on top of other applications
When to choose
- you must support Android versions below the API 31 Bubbles requirement
- you need a simple draggable overlay icon with trash animation in a legacy app
When to avoid
- starting a new project on modern Android - use the official Bubbles API instead
- you need maintained library support or bug fixes
- your app targets Android versions where SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW overlays are heavily restricted
