The next piece of Material Design is being added to Compass right now! It’s not done, but it made me learn how easy it is to animate layouts in Android! I’ll let you know when it’s done!
Update:

For some reason this isn’t in any of the Google support libraries despite being in the Material Design spec, so I built it myself! Next up: icons!
Update 2: icons weren’t next, but I limited the popup to 5 items, and ranked them based on which ones are most used.
Update 3-5🎉 :
IT’S DONE! I could maybe fine tune it a bit, but it’s 99% there, and in software development, that means it’s finished! I added animations, fixed bugs in the ranking, added contextual actions and icons, and there’s now a popup in case the menu goes over 5 items (to allow for landscape mode). This would have taken a quarter of the time had it all been implemented in the Google libraries from the get go. It’s in the Material Design specs, but it’s not in the android support libraries 🤔.
