While trying to create a UI, I noticed that my FloatingActionButton when having the same elevation as the ListView and inside of the ListView boundaries, the button won't work. However, when I increase the elevation of the FloatingActionButton to be above the ListView everything works fine.

Does the FAB, when the elevation increases, get render on a different surfaces so that it is able to be reach? Or is there other mechanism that knows that the button is situated above the ListView so when the button is clicked, the conflicting boundaries between the ListView and the FAB is solve?

Can you add some code? – Vukašin Manojlović Feb 20 '16 at 08:19
I don't think I need to add any code. You can just go test it for yourself by adding a listview and a button having the button overlapped with the listview. Remove the elevation of both and you have the situation I describe above. – Wowzer Feb 20 '16 at 08:25
the order of your layout matters too. you try putting the FAB after your listview. – Angel Koh Feb 20 '16 at 09:30
