Floating action button

The floating action button is one of the most crucial components used in Google's material design - especially for layouts in which it is needed to add one or more items to a list or compose a new email. In addition to this - it's striking design - which can come in two forms (mini or normal size) make for a better user experience than using standard buttons.

Imagine this GitHub Repo as a puzzle - this puzzle is missing crucial parts. One of these parts is the floating action - which I know and can guarantee will be a perfect feature/addition to your library.

Implementing a floating action button in Xamarin.Forms right now is a clunky job - and a third-party library which makes it easier to implement a floating action button plus one that utilises material design would make not only my life - but the life of many others - just that much better.

Please consider adding this to your library - it will certainly attract more users.

seconded. However basic functionality can be derived from MaterialIconButton. I have my made own basic FAB so could do a pull request so others have access to it too. I have not added the animation or renders for multiple options though. It is simply a round Icon button with an absolute positioning on the right-hand side of the screen.
