Problem using the arc without the center button

[Shailevy]

Hi,
I'm trying to use the arc but without the composer button being visible.
I tried lot of different things and nothing simple is working.

I tried changing the png's file to empty png's and it changed the animation and showed the selected item instead of "nothing"
I tried changing the selector xml and many other "simple" method

Any suggestion ?

How can you open the menu without center button? Another button?
You can set visibility to hide center button and items. And make items visible before you want to show the animation.
Maybe I misunderstand. Can you show some examples? A picture may be better.

Yes, another button.

Sending you a picture by email, can't publish it in a public place.

I will have a separate button.
But how can I hide only the center button and not affect the animations or anything else ?

Please add a "donate" option somewhere, github supports this.

What you suggested won't work, it will show the center button when I set the visibility back on.

The weird thing is that if I try to use the sample application to test changes in your library I keep failing, for example:

1. copy into composer_button.xml and composer_icn_plus.xml into the sample app
2. modify them to use a transparent color
   Result:
   I will see my first item as the center button and the animation will be different

Also:
Calling arcMenu.performClick(); doesn't open the menu
And I didn't find another way to programmatically expand the menu.

Sorry for all the messages, I found a solution. I'm using the ArcLayout directly and I modified it a bit for my needs.
