I am trying to study on how Overlay/Floating widgets works on android.
What type/kind of overlay/floating widget does the following app use. A brief explanation on how it works would really help.
- Facebook Messenger
- MusixMatch
- Link Bubble
- LastPass

I'm not sure what you're fully asking, but if you mean the Chat Heads for Facebook Messenger, then this is where you can start. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15995297/how-is-facebook-chat-heads-implemented – DeeV Jan 22 '16 at 18:06

Thank you @DeeV for your comment. Let me rephrase the question. What are the difference between the overlays / element / API used by the following app: Facebook Messenger, MusixMatch, Link Bubble, LastPass – Marvin Tolentino Jan 22 '16 at 18:18

I can't answer your question, but thought it worth pointing out that Link Bubble is being rebranded as 'Brave' and is now open sourced here: https://github.com/brave/browser-android – Lewis McGeary Jan 22 '16 at 18:47
