From 5.x using material component will break N tab component on iOS (which is bound to be removed). This is needed to allow using the latest native iOS features. If needed you can use either bottomnavigationbar (this one is the best choice, closest to material design) or tabs (clone of N one, but with a little less features)
For N 7.0
tns plugin add @nativescript-community/ui-material-floatingactionbutton
For N 6.x
tns plugin add nativescript-material-floatingactionbutton
If using tns-core-modules
tns plugin add nativescript-material-floatingactionbutton@2.5.4
Be sure to run a new build after adding plugins to avoid any issues.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you include xmlns:mdf="@nativescript-community/ui-material-floatingactionbutton" on the Page element
<Page xmlns:mdf="@nativescript-community/ui-material-floatingactionbutton">
<StackLayout horizontalAlignment="center">
<mdf:FloatingActionButton src="res://ic_action_add"/>
<mdf:FloatingActionButton elevation="5" src="res://ic_action_add"/>
</StackLayout>
</Page>mdcfloatingactionbutton {
ripple-color: blue;
elevation: 4;
}import { registerElement } from '@nativescript/angular/element-registry';
import { FloatingActionButton } from '@nativescript-community/ui-material-floatingactionbutton';
registerElement('MDFloatingActionButton', () => FloatingActionButton);<MDFloatingActionButton rippleColor="blue" src="res://ic_action_add"></MDFloatingActionButton>import Vue from 'nativescript-vue';
import FloatingActionButtonPlugin from '@nativescript-community/ui-material-floatingactionbutton/vue';
Vue.use(FloatingActionButtonPlugin);<MDFloatingActionButton rippleColor="blue" src="res://ic_action_add"/>Inherite from Nativescript Button so it already has all the same attributes
