Answer 1

FloatingActionButtons anchored to AppBarLayouts have a special relationship where their visibility is controlled by the scroll position of the AppBarLayout.

You can turn this off via the behavior_autoHide attribute:

You can also do this programmatically if you wish:

EDIT:

fab.getBehavior() was not correct, use getBehavior() from its LayoutParams

CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams lp = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) fab.getLayoutParams();
FloatingActionButton.Behavior behavior = (FloatingActionButton.Behavior) lp.getBehavior();
if (behavior != null) {
    behavior.setAutoHideEnabled(false);
} else {
    behavior = new FloatingActionButton.Behavior();
    behavior.setAutoHideEnabled(false);
    lp.setBehavior(behavior);
}
