Oracle APEX makes it easy to get data on screen fast, but often, the default tabular output isn’t enough. What if you want to highlight statuses, add icons, or display badges all without writing compl
Looking to give your Oracle APEX mobile app a modern, native feel? Here’s a quick hack: add a floating action button that stays anchored at the bottom corner just like in popular mobile apps. This small UI tweak can make your app feel more polished and intuitive, especially for mobile-first users.
A floating action button is a circular button that “floats” above the UI, typically in the lower right corner, providing quick access to a key action (like “Add,” “Create,” or “Scan”). With a bit of CSS and a Universal Theme icon, you can implement this in minutes.
Step 1: Add a Button to Your Page
In Page Designer, add a new Button (e.g., “Add”) to your APEX page.
Set its class to c-floating-bt.
Choose an appropriate icon (like fa-plus or fa-camera).
Step 2: Apply Custom CSS
Add the following CSS to your page (Page > CSS or in your app’s CSS file):
.c-floating-bt {
position: fixed;
bottom: 80px;
right: 10px;
z-index: 100;
height: 65px;
width: 65px;
border-radius: 50%;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
font-size: 2rem;
}
The button will appear at the bottom right of the page.
Native Feel: Mimics the UI of leading mobile apps, making your APEX app feel instantly more modern.
User Experience: Keeps primary actions accessible, reducing taps and scrolling.
Easy to Implement: Just a button and a few lines of CSS, no plugins or complex code.
