Red mail button in 1.5 version of Android studio

I updated to Version 1.5 as it would not let me see the design view in the old version. Everything else in my project works fine but there is a Red mail button on the bottom right side of the screen that I cannot select in the editor and when I click on it in the emulator it says "Replace with your own action".

That button should be in the activity_ layout file, not the content_ one. It's called the FloatingActionButton or fab.
