CodePudding user response：

Try to use the CoordinatorLayout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    android:id="@ id/my_drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity"
    tools:ignore="HardcodedText">

    <androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <ListView
            android:id="@ id/contactList"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

        <com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
