According to Android FloatingActionButton, the class android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton has been superseded by androidx and is no longer maintained. Google provide a new FloatingActionButton class in androidx material design, you're recommended to use this instead:

<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/fab"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
    android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
    app:srcCompat="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email"
    app:tint="@color/white"
    app:backgroundTint="@color/colorPrimary" />
