Fin and Q&Aor
Material DesignA little bit about
and Tools
Material Design
● “paper” and “ink” based design language
● introduced with Android L-something
● cross-everything (mobile, desktop, wear, etc)
● adds depth through shadows
● beautifully crafted (unlike this ugly presentation)
Leave teleportation for Star Trek
Keep things delightful
Structure information
Loads of beautifully crafted icons
Depth helps with comprehension
Interaction emits energy
google.com/design
Kick start
<style name="Theme.Awesome" parent="@android:style/Theme.Material.Light.DarkActionBar"></style>
values-v21/styles.xml
defaultConfig { targetSdkVersion 'L'}
app/build.gradle
Remarks
● CardView and RecyclerView
● android:colorPrimary, android:colorAccent
● android:tintMode=””
Android Studio 0.8.1Is now in Beta
New project structure view (soon)
API levels in wizard
Layout Editor (menu)
Layout Editor (different versions)
Typechecking to the resource system
Non-retarded emulators!
genymotion.com
Other, usual & gradual improvements
● Wear, TV & Glass now in wizard
● RTL layouts improvements
● Eclipse migrate process
● etc...
