MaterialSamples

Samples for the Material library by Zielony

Custom views

Button

Features the ripple touch feedback, elevation and the Roboto font.

TextView

FloatingActionButton

Ready to go implementation of a round button with an icon, a ripple, and a cast shadow.

ShadowLayout

A layout used for rendering shadows. Each view with non-zero elevaion value should be placed in a ShadowLayout in order to cast shadows. Due to clipping issues on some devices this is neccessary, at least for now.

Snackbar

Toast's successor. Simple view used for displaying messages and simple actions.

SVGView

ImageView used for rendering SVG files. Supports official SVG icons from Google, SVGs created in Illustrator and pretty much any well-formed SVG images. Internally uses the AndroidSVG library.

StatusBar, NavigationBar

Two simple views for handling colored status and navigation bars on all versions of Android. On Lollipop these views set colorPrimaryDark, on KitKat change the status and navigation bar's gradients. On older versions does nothing. StatusBar should be placed at the top of each Activity and NavigationBar should be placed at the bottom.

ImageView

Basic ImageView extended with most of the described features. Can use the new fade with brightness and saturation change.

Custom attributes

The library adds several custom attributes, which can be used in xml to access material features in custom views.

material_colorPrimary (reference|color)

material_colorPrimaryDark (reference|color)

material_colorAccent (reference|color)

material_colorBackground (reference|color)

material_filterColor (reference|color)

Used by SVGView. Changes color of the rendered shape to the specified.

Used by SVGView. Should point to a raw resource containing an svg image.

material_rippleColor (color)
