# HorizontalFloatingToolbar

A Jetpack Compose HorizontalFloatingToolbar component for displaying a floating action bar.
Android

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt). Use this file to discover all available pages.

Expo UI HorizontalFloatingToolbar matches the official Jetpack Compose [FloatingActionButton API](https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/components/fab) and displays a horizontal toolbar that floats above content, containing action buttons.

## Installation

```sh
npx expo install @expo/ui
```

If you are installing this in an [existing React Native app](/bare/overview), make sure to [install `expo`](/bare/installing-expo-modules) in your project.

## Usage

### Toolbar with FloatingActionButton

Use `IconButton` as direct children for toolbar items, and `HorizontalFloatingToolbar.FloatingActionButton` for the primary action.

```tsx
import { Host, HorizontalFloatingToolbar, IconButton, Icon } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function ToolbarWithFABExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <HorizontalFloatingToolbar>
        <IconButton onClick={() => console.log('Edit pressed')}>
          <Icon source={require('./assets/edit.xml')} contentDescription="Edit" />
        </IconButton>
        <IconButton onClick={() => console.log('Share pressed')}>
          <Icon source={require('./assets/share.xml')} contentDescription="Share" />
        </IconButton>
        <HorizontalFloatingToolbar.FloatingActionButton onPress={() => console.log('Add pressed')}>
          <Icon source={require('./assets/add.xml')} contentDescription="Add" />
        </HorizontalFloatingToolbar.FloatingActionButton>
