Hi! Great example. I was able to make this in first trial, but for some reason button.setOutline(outline) stopped getting resolved all of a sudden and I get rectangle buttons. I am not able to figure out why. Any help would be appreciated.

nice work!

@OverRide
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.layoutfab);

    //Outline
    int size = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.fab_size);
    Outline outline = new Outline();
    outline.setOval(0, 0, size, size);
    findViewById(R.id.fab).setOutline(outline);
}

Since setOutline is not available anymore on 5.0 SDK, it is recommended to use ViewOutlineProvider and set it as

findViewById(R.id.fab).setOutlineProvider(new ViewOutlineProvider() { 
            @Override
            public void getOutline(View view, Outline outline) {
                int size = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.fab_size);
                outline.setOval(0,0,size,size);
            }
});
findViewById(R.id.fab).setClipToOutline(true).

What about the design support library's new FloatingActionButton? Can you please show an example using the StateListAnimator to get the translationZ and the ripple effect?
