# 28 Flutter: Floating Action Button

{% code title="main.dart" %}

```dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:async';

void main(){
  runApp(new MaterialApp(
    home: new MyApp(),
  ));
}

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _State createState() => new _State();
}

//State is information of the application that can change over time or when some actions are taken.
class _State extends State<MyApp>{

  String _value = '';
  void _onClicked() => setState(() => _value = new DateTime.now().toString());

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text('Name here'),
        backgroundColor: Colors.red,
      ),
      floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
          onPressed: _onClicked,
          backgroundColor: Colors.red,
          //if you set mini to true then it will make your floating button small
          mini: false,
          child: new Icon(Icons.timer),
      ),
      //hit Ctrl+space in intellij to know what are the options you can use in flutter widgets
      body: new Container(
        padding: new EdgeInsets.all(32.0),
        child: new Center(
          child: new Column(
            children: <Widget>[
              new Text(_value)
            ],
          ),
        ),

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kodestat.gitbook.io/flutter/28-flutter-floating-action-button.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
