Draggable Floating Button in Flutter.

Priyanka Kumari

30 January 2024

In this blog, we will learn how the Draggable Floating Button Floats all over the screen in Flutter.

A floating action button (FAB) is a circular button that triggers the primary action in your app’s UI. This page shows you how to add the FAB to your layout, customize some of its appearances, and respond to button taps. We can enhance our app more flexible by using Draggable Floating Button Floats all over the screen in Flutter.

Let’s understand with an example.

It is a circular button that triggers the primary action in our app’s UI.

1.) Firstly we have to make the floating button and Service class.

Manifest:

Add SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission in the Manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />

1	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />

<service
    android:name=".FloatingWidgetService"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:exported="false" />

<service

android:name=".FloatingWidgetService"

android:enabled="true"

android:exported="false" />

Now we can also create any kind of Floating draggable button for our applications.

I hope this blog will help you to how to move the floating button all over the screen.

We can now run the app on how to create a draggable floating button.

Finally, We have implemented the draggable button feature.

Hope this blog helps you to create a Draggable floating button float all over the screen.

So, I hope it will help you out in understanding and get a brief idea about it.
