I am using a floating action button(FAB) in my application to show Dialogs, everything is worked just fine when I tested my app in Xperia Z with Lopllipop 5.1.1.
However
The problem in here is that I declared the FAB before the declaration of listView. Somehow by relocating the declaration of FAB after the the declaration of listView it will solved the problem.
From:
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
...
...
.../>
<ListView
...
...
.../>
To:
<ListView
...
...
.../>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
...
...
.../>
Just as simple as that.
Programmatically bringing the FAB to front should also work:
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.bringToFront();
fab.setOnClickListener... //etc
