+
+<p>Animations in material design give users feedback on their actions and provide visual
+continuity as users interact with your app. The material theme provides some default animations
+for buttons and activity transitions, and the Android L Developer Preview provides additional
+APIs that let you customize these animations and create new ones:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Touch feedback</li>
+<li>Reveal effect</li>
+<li>Activity transitions</li>
+<li>Curved motion</li>
+<li>View state changes</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2 id="touch">Touch Feedback</h2>
+
+<p>The default touch feedback animations for buttons use the new
+<code>RippleDrawable</code> class, which transitions between different states with a ripple
+effect.</p>
+
+<p>In most cases, this functionality should be applied in your view XML by specifying the
+background as <code>?android:attr/selectableItemBackground</code> for a bounded ripple or
+<code>?android:attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless</code> for a ripple that extends beyond
+the view bounds. You can also create a <code>RippleDrawable</code> and set
+it as the background of your view. Alternatively, you can define a <code>RippleDrawable</code>
+as an XML resource using the <code>ripple</code> element. The
+Android L Developer Preview animates the selection color with a ripple effect.</p>
+
+<p>You can assign a color to <code>RippleDrawable</code> objects. To change the default touch
+feedback color, use the theme's <code>android:colorControlHighlight</code> attribute.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="reveal">Reveal Effect</h2>
+
+<p>The <code>ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal</code> method enables you to animate a
+clipping circle to reveal or hide a view.</p>
+
+<p>To reveal a previously invisible view using this effect:</p>
+
+<pre>
+// previously invisible view
+View myView = findViewById(R.id.my_view);
+
+// get the center for the clipping circle
+int cx = (myView.getLeft() + myView.getRight()) / 2;
+int cy = (myView.getTop() + myView.getBottom()) / 2;
+
+// get the final radius for the clipping circle
+int finalRadius = myView.getWidth();
+
+// create and start the animator for this view
+// (the start radius is zero)
+ValueAnimator anim =
+ ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(myView, cx, cy, 0, finalRadius);
+anim.start();
+</pre>
+
+<p>To hide a previously visible view using this effect:</p>
+
+<pre>
+// previously visible view
+final View myView = findViewById(R.id.my_view);
+
+// get the center for the clipping circle
+int cx = (myView.getLeft() + myView.getRight()) / 2;
+int cy = (myView.getTop() + myView.getBottom()) / 2;
+
+// get the initial radius for the clipping circle
+int initialRadius = myView.getWidth();
+
+// create the animation (the final radius is zero)
+ValueAnimator anim =
+ ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(myView, cx, cy, initialRadius, 0);
+
+// make the view invisible when the animation is done
+anim.addListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
+ &#64;Override
+ public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
+ super.onAnimationEnd(animation);
+ myView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
+ }
+});
+
+// start the animation
+anim.start();
+</pre>
+
+
+<h2 id="transitions">Activity Transitions</h2>
+
+<p>You can specify custom animations for enter and exit transitions and for
+transitions of shared elements between activities.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>An <strong>enter</strong> transition determines how views in an activity enter the scene.
+For example, in the <em>explode</em> enter transition, the views enter the scene from the outside
+and fly in towards the center of the screen.</li>
+
+<li>An <strong>exit</strong> transition determines how views in an activity exit the scene. For
+ example, in the <em>explode</em> exit transition, the views exit the scene away from the
+center.</li>
+
+<li>A <strong>shared elements</strong> transition determines how views that are shared between
+two activities transition between these activities. For example, if two activities have the same
+image in different positions and sizes, the <em>moveImage</em> shared element transition
+translates and scales the image smoothly between these activities.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The Android L Developer Preview supports these enter and exit transitions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><em>explode</em> - Moves views in or out from the center of the scene.</li>
+<li><em>slide</em> - Moves views in or out from one of the edges of the scene.</li>
+<li><em>fade</em> - Mades views in or out of the scene.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Any transition that extends the <code>android.transition.Visibility</code> class is supported
+as an enter or exit transition. For more information, see the API reference for the
+<code>android.transition.Transition</code> class.</p>
+
+<p>The Android L Developer Preview also supports these shared elements transitions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><em>changeBounds</em> - Animates the changes in layout bounds of target views.</li>
+<li><em>changeClipBounds</em> - Animates the changes in clip bounds of target views.</li>
+<li><em>changeTransform</em> - Animates the changes in scale and rotation of target views.</li>
+<li><em>moveImage</em> - Animates changes in size and scale type for an image view.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>When you enable activity transitions in your app, the default cross-fading transition is
+activated between the entering and exiting activities.</p>

+  <strong>Figure 1</strong> - A scene transition with one shared element.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Specify custom transitions</h3>
+
+<p>First, enable window content transitions with the <code>android:windowContentTransitions</code>
+attribute when you define a style that inherits from the material theme. You can also specify
+enter, exit, and shared element transitions in your style definition:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;style name="BaseAppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material">
+ &lt;!-- enable window content transitions -->
+ &lt;item name="android:windowContentTransitions">true&lt;/item>
+
+ &lt;!-- specify enter and exit transitions -->
+ &lt;item name="android:windowEnterTransition">@transition/explode&lt;/item>
+ &lt;item name="android:windowExitTransition">@transition/explode&lt;/item>
+
+ &lt;!-- specify shared element transitions -->
+ &lt;item name="android:windowSharedElementEnterTransition">
+ &#64;transition/move_image&lt;/item>
+ &lt;item name="android:windowSharedElementExitTransition">
+ &#64;transition/move_image&lt;/item>
+&lt;/style>
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <code>move_image</code> transition in this example is defined as follows:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;!-- res/transition/move_image.xml -->
+&lt;!-- (see also Shared Transitions below) -->
+&lt;transitionSet xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
+ &lt;moveImage/>
+&lt;/transitionSet>
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <code>moveImage</code> element corresponds to the <code>android.transition.MoveImage</code>
+class. For more information, see the API reference for <code>android.transition.Transition</code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>To enable window content transitions in your code instead, call the
+<code>Window.requestFeature</code> method:</p>
+
+<pre>
+// inside your activity (if you did not enable transitions in your theme)
+getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS);
+
+// set an exit transition
+getWindow().setExitTransition(new Explode());
+</pre>
+
+<p>To specify transitions in your code, call these methods with a <code>Transition</code>
+object:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><code>Window.setEnterTransition</code></li>
+ <li><code>Window.setExitTransition</code></li>
+ <li><code>Window.setSharedElementEnterTransition</code></li>
+ <li><code>Window.setSharedElementExitTransition</code></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The <code>setExitTransition</code> and <code>setSharedElementExitTransition</code> methods
+define the exit transition for the calling activity. The <code>setEnterTransition</code> and
+<code>setSharedElementEnterTransition</code> methods define the enter transition for the called
+activity.</p>
+
+<p>To get the full effect of a transition, you must enable window content transitions on both the
+calling and called activities. Otherwise, the calling activity will start the exit transition,
+but then you'll see a window transition (like scale or fade).</p>
+
+<p>To start an enter transition as soon as possible, use the
+<code>Window.setAllowEnterTransitionOverlap</code> method on the called activity. This lets you
+have more dramatic enter transitions. The same applies for the calling activity and exit
+transitions with the <code>Window.setAllowExitTransitionOverlap</code> method.</p>
+
+<h3>Start an activity using transitions</h3>
+
+<p>If you enable transitions and set an exit transition for an activity, the transition is activated
+when you launch another activity with the <code>startActivity</code> method. If you have set an
+enter transition for the second activity, the transition is also activated when the activity
+starts.</p>
+
+<h3>Shared elements transitions</h3>
+
+<p>To make a screne transition animation between two activities that have a shared element:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Enable window content transitions in your style.</li>
+<li>Specify a shared elements transition in your style.</li>
+<li>Define your transition as an XML resource.</li>
+<li>Assign a common name to the shared elements in both layouts with the
+ <code>android:viewName</code> attribute.</li>
+<li>Use the <code>ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation</code> method.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<pre>
+// get the element that receives the click event
+final View imgContainerView = findViewById(R.id.img_container);
+
+// get the common element for the transition in this activity
+final View androidRobotView = findViewById(R.id.image_small);
+
+// define a click listener
+imgContainerView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
+ &#64;Override
+ public void onClick(View view) {
+ Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity2.class);
+ // create the transition animation - the images in the layouts
+ // of both activities are defined with android:viewName="robot"
+ ActivityOptions options = ActivityOptions
+ .makeSceneTransitionAnimation(this, androidRobotView, "robot");
+ // start the new activity
+ startActivity(intent, options.toBundle());
+ }
+});
+</pre>
+
+<p>For shared dynamic views that you generate in your code, use the <code>View.setViewName</code>
+method to specify a common element name in both activities.</p>
+
+<p>To reverse the scene transition animation when you finish the second activity, call the
+<code>Activity.finishAfterTransition</code> method instead of <code>Activity.finish</code>.</p>
+
+<h3>Multiple shared elements</h3>
+
+<p>To make a scene transition animation between two activities that have more than one shared
+element, define the shared elements in both layouts with the <code>android:viewName</code>
+attribute (or use the <code>View.setViewName</code> in both activities), and create an
+<code>ActivityOptions</code> object as follows:</p>
+
+<pre>
+ActivityOptions options = ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(this,
+ Pair.create(view1, "agreedName1"),
+ Pair.create(view2, "agreedName2"));
+</pre>
+
+
+<h2 id="curvedmotion">Curved Motion</h2>
+
+<p>Animations in material design rely on curves for time interpolation and spatial movement
+patterns. The Android L Developer Preview provides new APIs that enable you to define custom
+timing curves and curved motion patterns for animations.</p>
+
+<p>The <code>PathInterpolator</code> class is a new interpolator based on a Bézier curve or a
+<code>Path</code> object. This interpolator specifies a motion curve in a 1x1 square, with anchor
+points at (0,0) and (1,1) and control points as specified using the constructor arguments. You can
+also define a <code>PathInterpolator</code> as an XML resource:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;pathInterpolator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+ android:controlX1="0.4"
+ android:controlY1="0"
+ android:controlX2="1"
+ android:controlY2="1"/>
+</pre>
+
+<p>The Android L Developer Preview provides XML resources for the three basic curves in the
+material design specification:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><code>&#64;interpolator/fast_out_linear_in.xml</code></li>
+ <li><code>&#64;interpolator/fast_out_slow_in.xml</code></li>
+ <li><code>&#64;interpolator/linear_out_slow_in.xml</code></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>You can pass a <code>PathInterpolator</code> object to the
+<code>Animator.setInterpolation</code> method.</p>
+
+<p>The <code>ObjectAnimator</code> class has new constructors that enable you to animate
+coordinates along a path using two or more properties at once. For example, the following animator
+uses a <code>Path</code> object to animate the X and Y properties of a view:</p>
+
+<pre>
+ObjectAnimator mAnimator;
+mAnimator = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, View.X, View.Y, path);
+...
+mAnimator.start();
+</pre>
+
+
+<h2 id="viewstate">Animating View State Changes</h2>
+
+<p>The new <code>StateListAnimator</code> class lets you define animators that run when the state
+of a view changes. The following example shows how to define an <code>StateListAnimator</code> as
+an XML resource:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;!-- animate the translationZ property of a view when pressed -->
+&lt;selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
+ &lt;item android:state_pressed="true">
+ &lt;set>
+ &lt;objectAnimator android:propertyName="translationZ"
+ android:duration="100"
+ android:valueTo="2"
+ android:valueType="floatType"/>
+ &lt;!-- you could have other objectAnimator elements
+ here for "x" and "y", or other properties -->
+ &lt;/set>
+ &lt;/item>
+ &lt;item android:state_enabled="true"
+ android:state_pressed="false"
+ android:state_focused="true">
+ &lt;set>
+ &lt;objectAnimator android:propertyName="translationZ"
+ android:duration="100"
+ android:valueTo="2"
+ android:valueType="floatType"/>
+ &lt;/set>
+ &lt;/item>
+&lt;/selector>
+</pre>
+
+<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> There is a known issue in the L Developer Preview release
+that requires valueFrom values to be provided in StateListAnimator animations to get the correct
+behavior.</p>
+
+<p>The new <code>AnimatedStateListDrawable</code> class lets you create drawables that show
+animations between state changes of the associated view. Some of the system widgets in the
+Android L Developer Preview use these animations by default. The following example shows how
+to define an <code>AnimatedStateListDrawable</code> as an XML resource:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;!-- res/drawable/myanimstatedrawable.xml -->
+&lt;animated-selector
+ xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
+
+ &lt;!-- provide a different drawable for each state-->
+ &lt;item android:id="@+id/pressed" android:drawable="@drawable/drawableP"
+ android:state_pressed="true"/>
+ &lt;item android:id="@+id/focused" android:drawable="@drawable/drawableF"
+ android:state_focused="true"/>
+ &lt;item android:id="@id/default"
+ android:drawable="@drawable/drawableD"/>
+
+ &lt;!-- specify a transition -->
+ &lt;transition android:fromId="@+id/default" android:toId="@+id/pressed">
+ &lt;animation-list>
+ &lt;item android:duration="15" android:drawable="@drawable/dt1"/>
+ &lt;item android:duration="15" android:drawable="@drawable/dt2"/>
+ ...
+ &lt;/animation-list>
+ &lt;/transition>
+ ...
+&lt;/animated-selector>
+</pre>
+
+
+<h2 id="drawabletint">Drawable Tinting</h2>
+
+<p>The Android L Developer Preview enables you to define bitmaps or nine-patches as alpha masks and
+to tint them using a color resource or a theme attribute that resolves to a color resource (for
+example, <code>?android:attr/colorPrimary</code>). You can create these assets only once and color them
+automatically to match your theme.</p>
+
+<p>To apply a tint to a bitmap, use the <code>setTint</code> method or the <code>android:tint</code>
+attribute for <code>BitmapDrawable</code> and <code>NinePatchDrawable</code>.</p>
+
+<p>The <code>setTint</code> method also lets you set the Porter-Duff mode used to blend the
+tint color for <code>NinePatchDrawable</code> and <code>BitmapDrawable</code> objects in your code.
+To set the tint mode in your layouts, use the <code>android:tintMode</code> attribute.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="colorextract">Extracting Prominent Colors from an Image</h2>
+
+<p>The Android L Developer Preview Support Library includes the <code>Palette</code> class,
+which lets you extract prominent colors from an image. This class extracts the following
+prominent colors:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Vibrant</li>
+<li>Vibrant dark</li>
+<li>Vibrant light</li>
+<li>Muted</li>
+<li>Muted dark</li>
+<li>Muted light</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To extract these colors, pass a <code>Bitmap</code> object to the
+<code>Palette.generate</code> static method in the background thread where you load your images.
+If you can't use that thread, call the <code>Palette.generateAsync</code> method instead and
+provide a listener.</p>
+
+<p>To retrieve the prominent colors from the image, use the getter methods in the
+<code>Palette</code> class, such as <code>Palette.getVibrantColor</code>.</p>
+
+<p>For more information, see the API reference for the
+<code>android.support.v7.graphics.Palette</code> class.</p> \ No newline at end of file

+these features when running on devices with the Android L Developer Preview and still be
+compatible with previous releases of Android.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="materialtheme">Material Theme</h2>
+
+<p>The material theme is only available in the Android L Developer Preview. To configure your
+app to use the material theme on devices running the Android L Developer Preview and an older
+theme on devices running earlier versions of Android:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Define a theme that inherits from an older theme (like Holo) in
+<code>res/values/styles.xml</code>.</li>
+<li>Define a theme with the same name that inherits from the material theme in
+<code>res/values-v21/styles.xml</code>.</li>
+<li>Set this theme as your app's theme in the manifest file.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> If you do not provide an alternative theme in this manner,
+your app will not run on earlier versions of Android.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="layouts">Layouts</h2>
+
+<p>If the layouts that you design according to the material design guidelines do not use any
+of the new XML attributes from the Android L Developer Preview, they will work on previous
+versions of Android. Otherwise, you can provide alternative layouts. You can also provide
+alternative layouts to customize how your app looks on earlier versions of Android.</p>
+
+<p>Create your layout files for the Android L Developer Preview inside <code>res/layout-v21/</code>
+and your alternative layout files for earlier versions of Android inside <code>res/layout/</code>.
+Alternative layouts have the same file name.</p>
+
+<p>To avoid duplication of code, define your styles inside <code>res/values/</code> and modify the
+styles in <code>res/values-v21/</code> for the new APIs.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="widgets">UI Widgets</h2>
+
+<p>The <code>RecyclerView</code> and <code>CardView</code> widgets are included in the Android L
+Developer Preview Support Library, so they are available in earlier versions of Android with
+these limitations:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code>CardView</code> falls back to a programmatic shadow implementation using additional padding.</li>
+<li><code>CardView</code> does not clip its children views that intersect with rounded corners.</li>
+</ul>

+<h2 id="animation">Animation APIs</h2>
+
+<p>The following new APIs are only available in the Android L Developer Preview:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Activity transitions</li>
+<li>Touch feedback</li>
+<li>Reveal animations</li>
+<li>Path-based animations</li>
+</ul>

+
+<h3>Create New Apps for the Android L Developer Preview</h3>
+
+<p>If you are creating a new app for the Android L Developer Preview, the <a
+href="http://www.google.com/design/spec">material design guidelines</a> provide you with a
+cohesive design framework for your app. Follow these guidelines and
+use the new functionality in the Android framework to design and develop your app.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="applytheme">Apply the Material Theme</h2>
+
+<p>To apply the material theme in your app, specify a style that inherits from
+<code>android:Theme.Material</code>:</p>

+<p>In addition to applying and customizing the material theme, your layouts should conform to
+the <a href="http://www.google.com/design/spec">material design guidelines</a>. When you design
+your layouts, pay special attention to the following:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Baseline grids</li>
+<li>Keylines</li>
+<li>Spacing</li>
+<li>Touch target size</li>
+<li>Layout structure</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2 id="depth">Specify Elevation in Your Views</h2>
+
+<p>Views can cast shadows, and the elevation value of a view
+determines the size of its shadow and its drawing order. To set the elevation of a view, use the
+<code>android:elevation</code> attribute in your layouts:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;TextView
+ android:id="@+id/my_textview"
+ android:layout_width="wrap_content"
+ android:layout_height="wrap_content"
+ android:text="@string/next"
+ android:background="@color/white"
+ <strong>android:elevation</strong>="5dp" />
+</pre>
+
+<p>The new <code>translationZ</code> property lets you create animations that reflect temporary
+changes in the elevation of a view. For example, this is useful to respond to touch gestures.</p>
+
+<p>For more details, see <a href="{@docRoot}preview/material/views-shadows.html">Views and
+Shadows</a>.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="widgets">Use the New UI Widgets</h2>
+
+<p><code>RecyclerView</code> is a more advanced version of <code>ListView</code> that provides
+performance improvements and is easier to use. <code>CardView</code> lets you show pieces of
+information inside cards with a consistent look across apps. To include a <code>CardView</code>
+in your layout:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;android.support.v7.widget.CardView
+ android:id="@+id/card_view"
+ android:layout_width="200dp"
+ android:layout_height="200dp"
+ card_view:cardCornerRadius="3dp">
+ ...
+&lt;/android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
+</pre>
+
+<p>For more information, see <a href="{@docRoot}preview/material/ui-widgets.html">UI Widgets</a>.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="animations">Customize Your Animations</h2>
+
+<p>The Android L Developer Preview includes new APIs to create custom animations in your app.
+For example, you can enable activity transitions and define an exit transition inside an
+activity:</p>
+
+<pre>
+// inside your activity
+getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS);
+
+// set an exit transition
+getWindow().setExitTransition(new Explode());
+</pre>
+
+<p>When you start another activity from this activity, the exit transition is activated.</p>
+
+<p>To learn about all the features in the new APIs, see <a
+href="{@docRoot}preview/material/animations.html">Animations</a>.</p> \ No newline at end of file

+@jd:body
+
+<p itemprop="description">The Android L Developer Preview includes support for material design
+apps. Material design is a comprehensive guide for visual, motion, and interaction design across
+platforms and devices. To use material design in your Android apps, follow the guidelines defined
+in the <a href="http://www.google.com/design/spec">material design specification</a> and use the
+new components and functionality available in the Android L Developer Preview.</p>
+
+<p>The Android L Developer Preview provides the following elements for you to build material
+design apps:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>A new theme</li>
+ <li>New widgets for complex views</li>
+ <li>New APIs for custom shadows and animations</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3>Material Theme</h3>
+
+<p>The material theme provides a new style for your app, system widgets that let you set
+their color palette, and default animations for touch feedback and activity transitions.</p>
+
+<!-- two columns -->
+<div style="width:700px;margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:20px">
+<div style="float:left;width:250px;margin-left:40px;margin-right:60px;">
+ <img src="{@docRoot}preview/material/images/MaterialDark.png" width="500" height="238"/>
+ <div style="width:140px;margin:0 auto">
+ <p style="margin-top:8px">Dark Material theme</p>

+ <p style="margin-top:8px">Light Material theme</p>
+ </div>
+</div>
+<br style="clear:left"/>
+</div>
+
+
+<h3>New Widgets</h3>
+
+<p>The Android L Developer Preview includes two new widgets for displaying complex views:</p>
+
+<!-- two columns -->
+<div style="width:700px;margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:20px">
+<div style="float:left;width:250px;margin-left:40px;margin-right:60px;">
+ <img src="{@docRoot}preview/material/images/list_mail.png" width="500" height="426"/>
+ <p>The new <code>RecyclerView</code> widget is a more advanced version of <code>ListView</code>
+ that provides performance improvements for dynamic views and is easier to use.</p>
+</div>
+<div style="float:left;width:250px;margin-right:0px;">
+ <img src="{@docRoot}preview/material/images/card_travel.png" width="500" height="426"/>
+ <p>The new <code>CardView</code> widget lets you display important pieces of information inside
+ cards that have a consistent look and feel.</p>
+</div>
+<br style="clear:left"/>
+</div>
+
+
+<h3>View Shadows</h3>
+
+<p>In addition to the X and Y properties, views in the Android L Developer Preview have a Z
+property. This new property represents the elevation of a view, which determines:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>The size of the shadow - Views with higher Z values cast bigger shadows.</li>
+<li>The drawing order - Views with higher Z values appear on top of other views.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<div style="width:290px;margin-left:35px;float:right">

+ </div>
+ <div style="font-size:10pt;margin-left:20px;margin-bottom:30px">
+ <em>Click on the device screen to replay the movie</em>
+ </div>
+</div>
+
+<h3>Animations</h3>
+
+<p>The Android L Developer Preview provides new APIs that let you create custom animations for
+touch feedback in UI controls, view state changes, and activity transitions.</p>
+
+<p>The new animation APIs let you:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li style="margin-bottom:15px">
+Respond to touch events in your views with <strong>touch feedback</strong> animations.
+</li>
+<li style="margin-bottom:15px">
+Hide and show views with <strong>reveal effect</strong> animations.
+</li>
+<li style="margin-bottom:15px">
+Switch between activities with custom <strong>activity transition</strong> animations.
+</li>
+<li style="margin-bottom:15px">
+Create more natural animations with <strong>curved motion</strong>.
+</li>
+<li style="margin-bottom:15px">
+Animate changes in one or more view properties with <strong>view state change</strong> animations.
+</li>
+<li style="margin-bottom:15px">
+Show animations in <strong>state list drawables</strong> between view state changes.
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Touch feedback animations are built into several standard views, such as buttons. The new APIs
+let you customize these animations and add animations to your custom views.</p>
+
+
+<h3>New Capabilities for Drawables</h3>
+
+<p>The Android L Developer Preview supports <strong>drawable tinting</strong>: you can define
+bitmaps as an alpha mask and tint them using a color resource. You create these assets only
+once and color each instance to match your theme. Drawables also now support specifying most XML
+properties as <strong>theme attributes</strong>.</p>
+
+<p>The Android L Developer Preview Support Library includes a <strong>color extraction</strong>
+library that lets you automatically extract prominent colors from a bitmap image.</p> \ No newline at end of file

+ &lt;!-- darker variant of colorPrimary (for status bar, contextual app bars) -->
+ &lt;item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark&lt;/item>
+ &lt;!-- theme UI controls like checkboxes and text fields -->

+ &lt;/style>
+&lt;/resources>
+</pre>
+
+
+<h2 id="statusbar">Customize the Status and Navigation Bar</h2>
+
+<p>The material theme lets you easily customize the status bar, so you can specify a
+color that fits your brand and provides enough contrast to show the white status icons. To
+set a custom color for the status bar, use the <code>android:statusBarColor</code> attribute when
+you extend the material theme. By default, <code>android:statusBarColor</code> inherits the
+value of <code>android:colorPrimaryDark</code>.</p>
+
+<p>To handle the color of the status bar yourself (for example, by adding a gradient in the
+background), set the <code>android:statusBarColor</code> attribute to
+<code>&#64;android:color/transparent</code> and adjust the window flags as required. You can
+also use the <code>Window.setStatusBarColor</code> method for animations or fading.</p>
+
+<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong>
+The status bar should almost always have a clear delineation from the primary toolbar, except for
+full-bleed imagery cases and when you use a gradient as a protection.
+</p>
+
+<p>When customizing the navigation and status bars, make them both transparent or modify only
+the status bar. The navigation bar should remain black in all other cases.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="inheritance">Theme Individual Views</h3>
+
+<p>Elements in XML layout definitions can specify the <code>android:theme</code> attribute,
+which references a theme resource. This attribute modifies the theme for the element and any
+elements inflated below it, which is useful to alter theme color palettes in a specific portion
+of an interface.</p> \ No newline at end of file

+<h2>In this document</h2>
+<ol>
+ <li><a href="#recyclerview">RecyclerView</a></li>
+ <li><a href="#cardview">CardView</a></li>
+</ol>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p>The support library in the Android L Developer Preview contains two new widgets,
+<code>RecyclerView</code> and <code>CardView</code>. Use these widgets to show complex lists
+and cards in your app. These widgets have material design style by default.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="recyclerview">RecyclerView</h2>
+
+<p><code>RecyclerView</code> is a more advanced and flexible version of <code>ListView</code>.
+This widget is a container for large sets of views that can be recycled and scrolled very
+efficiently. Use the <code>RecyclerView</code> widget when you have lists with elements that
+change dynamically.</p>
+
+<p><code>RecyclerView</code> is easy to use, because it provides:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>A layout manager for positioning items</li>
+ <li>Default animations for common item operations</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>You also have the flexibility to define custom layout managers and animations for this
+widget.</p>
+
+<p>To use the <code>RecyclerView</code> widget, you have to specify an adapter and a layout
+manager. To create an adapter, you extend the <code>RecyclerView.Adapter</code> class. The details
+of the implementation depend on the specifics of your dataset and the type of views. For more
+information, see the <a href="#rvexamples">examples</a> below.</p>
+
+<img src="/preview/material/images/RecyclerView.png" alt="" id="figure1" style="width:550px"/>
+<p class="img-caption">
+  <strong>Figure 1</strong> - The <code>RecyclerView</code> widget.
+</p>
+
+<p>A <strong>layout manager</strong> positions item views inside a <code>RecyclerView</code> and
+determines when to reuse item views that are no longer visible to the user. To reuse (or
+<em>recycle</em>) a view, a layout manager may ask the adapter to replace the content of the
+view with a different element from the dataset. Recycling views in this manner improves
+performance by avoiding the creation of unnecessary views or performing expensive
+<code>findViewById</code> lookups.
+</p>
+
+<p><code>RecyclerView</code> provides <code>LinearLayoutManager</code>, which shows the items in a
+vertical or horizontal scrolling list. To create a custom layout, you extend the
+<code>RecyclerView.LayoutManager</code> class.</p>
+
+<h3>Animations</h3>
+
+<p>Animations for adding and removing items are enabled by default in <code>RecyclerView</code>.
+To customize these animations, extend the <code>RecyclerView.ItemAnimator</code> class and use
+the <code>RecyclerView.setItemAnimator</code> method.</p>
+
+<h3 id="rvexamples">Examples</h3>
+
+<p>To include a <code>RecyclerView</code> in your layout:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;!-- A RecyclerView with some commonly used attributes -->
+&lt;android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
+ android:id="@+id/my_recycler_view"
+ android:scrollbars="vertical"
+ android:layout_width="match_parent"
+ android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
+</pre>
+
+<p>To get the <code>RecyclerView</code> object in your activity:</p>
+
+<pre>
+public class MyActivity extends Activity {
+ private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
+ private RecyclerView.Adapter mAdapter;
+ private RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager;
+
+ &#64;Override
+ protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+ super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
+ setContentView(R.layout.my_activity);
+ mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
+
+ // improve performance if you know that changes in content
+ // do not change the size of the RecyclerView
+ mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
+
+ // use a linear layout manager
+ mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
+ mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
+
+ // specify an adapter (see also next example)
+ mAdapter = new MyAdapter(myDataset);
+ mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
+ }
+ ...
+}
+</pre>
+
+<p>To create a simple adapter:</p>
+
+<pre>
+public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter&lt;MyAdapter.ViewHolder> {
+ private String[] mDataset;
+
+ // Provide a reference to the type of views that you are using
+ // (custom viewholder)
+ public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
+ public TextView mTextView;
+ public ViewHolder(TextView v) {
+ super(v);
+ mTextView = v;
+ }
+ }
+
+ // Provide a suitable constructor (depends on the kind of dataset)
+ public MyAdapter(String[] myDataset) {
+ mDataset = myDataset;
+ }
+
+ // Create new views (invoked by the layout manager)
+ &#64;Override
+ public MyAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent,
+ int viewType) {
+ // create a new view
+ View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
+ .inflate(R.layout.my_text_view, null);
+ // set the view's size, margins, paddings and layout parameters
+ ...
+ ViewHolder vh = new ViewHolder(v);
+ return vh;
+ }
+
+ // Replace the contents of a view (invoked by the layout manager)
+ &#64;Override
+ public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
+ // - get element from your dataset at this position
+ // - replace the contents of the view with that element
+ holder.mTextView.setText(mDataset[position]);
+
+ }
+
+ // Return the size of your dataset (invoked by the layout manager)
+ &#64;Override
+ public int getItemCount() {
+ return mDataset.length;
+ }
+}
+</pre>
+
+
+<h2 id="cardview">CardView</h2>
+
+<p><code>CardView</code> extends the <code>FrameLayout</code> class and lets you show information
+inside cards that have a consistent look on any app. <code>CardView</code> widgets can have
+shadows and rounded corners.</p>
+
+<p>To create a card with a shadow, use the <code>android:elevation</code> attribute.
+<code>CardView</code> uses real elevation and dynamic shadows
+and falls back to a programmatic shadow implementation on earlier versions. For more information,
+see <a href="{@docRoot}preview/material/compatibility.html">Compatibility</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Here's how to specify properties of <code>CardView</code>:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>To set the corner radius in your layouts, use the <code>android:cardCornerRadius</code>
+ attribute.</li>
+ <li>To set the corner radius in your code, use the <code>CardView.setRadius</code> method.</li>
+ <li>To set the background color of a card, use the <code>android:cardBackgroundColor</code>
+attribute.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To include a <code>CardView</code> in your layout:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;!-- A CardView that contains a TextView -->
+&lt;android.support.v7.widget.CardView
+ xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

+ card_view:cardCornerRadius="4dp">
+
+ &lt;TextView

+ android:layout_height="match_parent" />
+&lt;/android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

+</div>
+
+<p>The elevation of a view determines the size of its shadow:
+views with higher Z values cast bigger shadows. Views only cast shadows on the Z=0 plane under an
+orthographic projection (the views do not scale for different values of Z).</p>
+
+<p>Elevation is also useful to create animations where widgets temporarily rise above the
+view plane when performing some action.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="elevation">View Elevation</h2>
+
+<p>The Z value for a view has two components, elevation and translation. The elevation is the
+static component, and the translation is used for animations:</p>
+
+<p><code>Z = elevation + translationZ</code></p>
+
+<p>To set the elevation of a view:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>In a layout definition, use the <code>android:elevation</code> attribute.</li>
+ <li>In the code of an activity, use the <code>View.setElevation</code> method.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To set the translation of a view, use the <code>View.setTranslationZ</code> method.</p>
+
+<p>The new <code>ViewPropertyAnimator.z</code> and <code>ViewPropertyAnimator.translationZ</code>
+methods enable you to easily animate the elevation of views. For more information, see
+the API reference for <code>ViewPropertyAnimator</code> and the <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/graphics/prop-animation.html#object-animator">Property Animation</a>
+developer guide.</p>
+
+<p>The Z values are measured in the same units as the X and Y values.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="shadows">Shadows and Outlines</h2>
+
+<p>The bounds of a view's background drawable determine the default shape of its shadow.
+<strong>Outlines</strong> represent the outer shape of a graphics object and define the ripple
+area for touch feedback.</p>
+
+<p>For example, if you define a view with a background drawable:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;TextView
+ android:id="@+id/myview"
+ ...
+ android:elevation="2dp"
+ android:background="@drawable/myrect" />
+</pre>
+
+<p>where the background drawable is defined as a rectangle with rounded corners:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;!-- res/drawable/myrect.xml -->
+&lt;shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+ android:shape="rectangle">
+ &lt;solid android:color="#42000000" />
+ &lt;corners android:radius="5dp" />
+&lt;/shape>
+</pre>
+
+<p>Then this view and drawable cast the appropiate shadow.</p>
+
+<p>You can also create outlines in your code using the methods in the <code>Outline</code> class,
+and you can assign them to views with the <code>View.setOutline</code> method.</p>
+
+<p>To prevent a view from casting a shadow, set its outline to <code>null</code>.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="clip">Clipping Views</h2>
+
+<p>Clip a view to its outline area using the
+<code>View.setClipToOutline</code> method. Only rectangle, circle, and round rectangle outlines
+support clipping, as determined by the <code>Outline.canClip</code> method.</p>
+
+<p>To clip a view to the shape of a drawable, set the drawable as the background of the view
+(as shown above) and call the <code>View.setClipToOutline</code> method.</p>
+
+<p>Because clipping views is an expensive operation, don't animate the shape you use to
+clip a view. To achieve this effect, use a <a
+href="{@docRoot}preview/material/animations.html#reveal">Reveal Effect</a> animation.</p> \ No newline at end of file
