the app:layout_anchor not working

I want a floating action button in between my two relative layouts.

For this I have taken parent layout as coordinator layout and specified the anchor and anchor gravity to fab button.

But its not getting set where I want it to be.

i want to put the fab on the middle of the Bottom Navigation Bar

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

**i try to change the gradle material version but that doesn’t work **

>Solution :

You have used androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout and that’s why app:layout_anchor is not working . Kindly replace androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout with Coordinatorlayout
