The all new Android Design Library from Google

Hi coders!

So finally Google made a strong step ahead to bring some of the beautiful components as native ones in the latest release of Android build tools SDK. The biggest news is that, few of these components will be backward compatible with the usage of the all new Android Design Library!

Whoa! Now amazing UI will still exist for users thriving on the Android OS version prior to API 21. a.k.a. Lollipop! So cool.

Watch this...


Summarizing:
With the all new design Library you get access to following components back to API 7.

Components-

  • TextInputLayout - a.k.a FloatingEditText
  • FloatingActionButton
  • Snackbar - tasty indeed!
  • Material Design Compliant Tabs and Navigation Menu
  • Lot of works on motion and scrolling
Visuals and Motions-
  • Coordinator Layouts - this one is massive!
  • NavigationView - with Drawer Layout
  • CollapsingToolbarLayout - a responsive new ActionBar
  • AppBarLayout - replaces ActionBar in conjunction with ToolBar (the new ActionBar)
So, a Design library on the top of a Support library is now the new vial of  magical Material Design with massive support for the previous Android APIs. Whaao!



So now feel at home with Material Design!
