Updated for AndroidX:

You can use Google's native implementation of FAB: com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton

Dependency: com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0

Previously (before AndroidX):

I would suggest using the Design Support Floating Action Button supplied by Google instead as seen here http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2015/05/android-design-support-library.html add this to your gradle:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
}

and that will include the FloatingActionButton shown here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/FloatingActionButton.html?utm_campaign=io15&utm_source=dac&utm_medium=blog

It is generally a better practice to use a supported library than a 3rd party one.
