Android: An Introduction to Material Design
Google's material design brings with it new, exciting ways to delight your users with a visually appealing Android app. But wait—what is material design?
Google introduced material design in last year's I/O, describing it as an interface that incorporates "tactile surfaces, bold graphic design and fluid motion to create beautiful, intuitive experiences." Material design is the new "user experience philosophy" for Android apps!
In this tutorial, you'll integrate material design into an app called Travel Wish List. Along the way, you'll learn how to:
- Implement the material theme;
- Build dynamic views using new widgets like
- Use Palette API to generate color schemes that you can use for text or background views;
- Create delightful interactions using the new animation APIs.
This tutorial assumes you have a basic familiarity with Android programming including Java, XML, Android Studio and Gradle. If you're completely new to Android, you might want to go through our Android Tutorial for Beginners: Part 1 first.
Let's get started!
Getting Started
Download the starter project, then fire up Android Studio.
To import the starter project, first select Import project from the Quick Start menu:
Then select the downloaded project and click OK:
Travel Wish List will be a very simple app. Users will see a grid of pictures from locations around the world, and be able to tap each picture to add notes about what to do and see.
Build and run the starter project, swipe up to get past the lock screen, and you should see a screen with the most basic of interfaces:
Right now, the world is empty! You're going to add material components to this existing project, including dynamic views, color schemes and animations that will truly complement the beauty of the photos in your dataset.
Open build.gradle for the app module and add the following:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.+'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.+'
compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:21.0.0'
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.0'
Here you're simply declaring the dependencies that you'll use throughout the rest of the tutorial. The first few are Google-provided APIs, but the final one, Picasso, is a fantastic image downloading and caching library provided by the good folks at Square.
With the dependencies declared, it's time to begin incorporating Material Design into your app!
Setting Up the Theme
Before doing anything else, you should set up your theme. Open style.xml under the values directory. By default, the theme selected is
android:Theme.Material.Light. Add the following items inside the theme tag:
<item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="android:colorAccent">@color/accent</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">@color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="android:displayOptions">disableHome</item>
Android will automatically apply
android:colorPrimary to the action bar,
android:colorPrimaryDark to status bar and
android:colorAccent to UI widgets like textfield and checkboxes.
In the code above, you also alter the color of the navigation bar. For
android:displayOptions, you pass
disableHome to accommodate the screen layouts in this sample app.
Build and run, and you'll see the new color scheme in the app.
It's a subtle change, but like every trip on your travel wish list, upgrading this design begins with a single step!
Using the Recycler and Card Views
To give your users a window into all the cool places they might go, you need a view. You can use
RecyclerView as a replacement for
ListView, but it's much more versatile than that. Google describes
RecyclerView as "a flexible view for providing a limited window into a large data set." In this section, you're going to demonstrate this by switching the view from a list to a custom grid that uses the same data source which currently supplies the
ListView with the users locations.
Implementing a Recycler View in XML
First, open activity_main.xml and add the following inside the
LinearLayout tag:
Here you're adding a
RecyclerView to the activity's layout, and specifying it should match the entire size of the parent view.
Initializing a Recycler View and Applying a Layout Manager
Before adding Java code, configure Android Studio so that it automatically inserts import statements to save you having to add each one manually.
Go to Preferences\Editor\General\Auto Import and select the Add unambiguous imports on the fly checkbox. In MainActivity.java, add the following to the top of the class:
private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private StaggeredGridLayoutManager mStaggeredLayoutManager;
Here you're simply declaring two fields; one to hold a reference to the
RecyclerView and another to hold a reference to the
Next, add the following to the bottom of
mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.list);
mStaggeredLayoutManager = new StaggeredGridLayoutManager(1, StaggeredGridLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
In the code above, you initialize
RecyclerView and apply
StaggeredGridLayout to it, which you'll use to create two types of vertically staggered grids. Here you start with the first type, passing
1 for the span count and
StaggeredGridLayoutManager.VERTICAL for the orientation. A span count of 1 makes this a list rather than a grid, as you'll soon see. Later, you'll add a compact grid formation with two columns.
Creating Rows and Cells Using a Card View
CardView provides a consistent backdrop for your views, including rounded corners and a drop shadow. You're going to implement it for the row/cell layout of your
RecyclerView. By default,
CardView extends
FrameLayout and therefore includes the ability to host other child views.
From the res\layout directory, create a new Layout resource file and call it row_places.xml. Press OK to create it.
To create your desired cell layout, replace all the contents of this file with the code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
<!-- Used for the ripple effect on touch -->
android:orientation="horizontal" />
android:textColor="@android:color/white" />
By adding
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto", you can define attributes like
card_view:cardCornerRadius and
card_view:cardElevation that are responsible for giving Material Design enabled Android apps their signature card-like look.
Notice that for
mainHolder, you've added
?android:selectableItemBackground as the background. This enables the ripple effect animation when the user touches a cell, as seen in many Android apps now. You'll get to see it in action soon.
Implementing an Adapter for a Recycler View
You're going to use an adapter for the
RecyclerView to bind data to the view. In the Java folder, right-click on the bhouse.travellist_starterproject package and select New\Java class. Call the class TravelListAdapter.
Add the following code to the class, taking care to preserve the package statement at the top of the file:
// 1
public class TravelListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<TravelListAdapter.ViewHolder> {
Context mContext;
// 2
public TravelListAdapter(Context context) {
this.mContext = context;
// 3
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public LinearLayout placeHolder;
public LinearLayout placeNameHolder;
public TextView placeName;
public ImageView placeImage;
public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
placeHolder = (LinearLayout) itemView.findViewById(R.id.mainHolder);
placeName = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.placeName);
placeNameHolder = (LinearLayout) itemView.findViewById(R.id.placeNameHolder);
placeImage = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.placeImage);
A couple of things are happening above:
- You make
Recycler.Adapterso that you can implement logic for the override methods you'll add soon.
- You add a constructor where the
contextcan be passed when you create an instance of
MainActivity, which you'll do a bit later in the tutorial.
- You create the
ViewHolderclass. Whereas the use of the
ViewHolderpattern is optional in
RecyclerViewenforces it. This improves scrolling and performance by avoiding
findViewById()for each cell.
Because your adapter subclasses
RecyclerView.Adapter, you need to add the following methods to
// 1
public int getItemCount() {
return new PlaceData().placeList().size();
// 2
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.row_places, parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(view);
// 3
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
final Place place = new PlaceData().placeList().get(position);
Here's what's happening:
getItemCount()returns the number of items from your data array. In this case, you're using the size of the
onCreateViewHolder(...)returns a new instance of your
ViewHolderby passing an inflated view of
onBindViewHolder(...)binds the
Placeobject to the UI elements in
ViewHolder. You'll use Picasso to cache the images for the list.
Add a field in
MainActivity that will hold a reference to your adapter:
private TravelListAdapter mAdapter;
And then create an instance of your adapter and pass it to the
RecyclerView at the bottom of
onCreate(), just after you configure the layout manager:
mAdapter = new TravelListAdapter(this);
Now build and run the app, and you'll see a populated list of places.
Which place is calling your name? I like the look of that turquoise water. But wherever you want to go, you'll want to cultivate your dream by taking notes about what to do there. First, you need to make the cells respond to a user's touch.
Implementing a Click Interface for Each Cell
RecyclerView doesn't come with an
onItemClick interface, so you have to implement one in the adapter. In
TravelListAdapter, create a field to hold an instance of
OnItemClickListener. Add the following just below the existing fields:
OnItemClickListener mItemClickListener;
Now implement
View.OnClickListener by adding the interface to the
ViewHolder inner class definition like this:
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
Then add the following method stub to the inner
ViewHolder class:
public void onClick(View v) {
Finally, hook the two up by adding the following to the bottom of
Above, you initiate
setOnClickListener for
placeHolder and implement the
onClick override method.
You need to do a few more things to implement the
onClick interface for the
RecyclerView. First, after the inner
ViewHolder class definition add the following:
public interface OnItemClickListener {
void onItemClick(View view, int position);
Next, add the setter method of the
public void setOnItemClickListener(final OnItemClickListener mItemClickListener) {
this.mItemClickListener = mItemClickListener;
Now implement the logic in the empty
onClick() stub within the inner
ViewHolder class:
if (mItemClickListener != null) {
mItemClickListener.onItemClick(itemView, getPosition());
Build and run the app. Notice the new ripple effect every time you touch a row:
MainActivity, create an instance of
OnItemClickListener below
TravelListAdapter.OnItemClickListener onItemClickListener = new TravelListAdapter.OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(View v, int position) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Clicked " + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Finally, set the listener to the adapter by adding the following code to the bottom of
onCreate(), just after where you set the adapter:
Build and run once more. Now when you tap a cell you'll see a Toast notification displaying the position of the cell in the list.
From List to Grid and Back
StaggeredLayoutManager lets you add versatility to your layouts. To change your existing list to a more compact two-column grid, you simply have to change the
spanCount of the
mLayoutManager in
toggle(), add the following to the top of the
And now add the following to the top of the
else branch:
Here you're simply switching between single and double span counts, which displays single and double columns respectively.
Build and run and use the action bar button to toggle between list and grid views.
Using the Palette API in the List
Now you can add some interesting Material Design features into the mix, starting with the Palette API. Head back to
TravelListAdapter, where you'll define a background color for
placeNameHolder that will be determined dynamically using the colors in the image.
Add the following to the bottom of
Bitmap photo = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(mContext.getResources(), place.getImageResourceId(mContext));
Palette.generateAsync(photo, new Palette.PaletteAsyncListener() {
public void onGenerated(Palette palette) {
int bgColor = palette.getMutedColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(android.R.color.black));
By using
generateAsync(...) to generate a color palette in the background, you'll receive a callback when the palette has been generated in the form of
onGenerated(...). Here you can access the generated color palette and set the background color of
holder.placeNameHolder. If the color doesn't exist, the method will apply a fallback color — in this case,
Build and run to see the Palette API in action!
- Vibrant
- Vibrant Dark
- Vibrant Light
- Muted
- Muted Dark
- Muted Light
I encourage you to experiment with these. Instead of
palette.getMutedColor(...), try
palette.getVibrantDark(...) and so on.
Using the New Material APIs
In this section, you'll use
DetailActivity and its corresponding
activity_detail layout, and make them cooler by infusing some of the new Material Design APIs.
First, you'll want to see how the detail view currently looks in the starter project. To see this, go to
MainActivity and create an intent in
onItemClickListener. Add the following to the bottom of
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, DetailActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(DetailActivity.EXTRA_PARAM_ID, position);
You can pass the position of the place object via the intent so that
DetailActivity can retrieve the information and use it to layout the interface. That's what you're doing here.
Build and run.
There isn't anything crazy going on here (yet!), but you've got a nice foundation on which to start adding those highly anticipated Material Design APIs, beginning with a floating action button.
Adding a Floating Action Button with Ripple Effect
The floating action button (FAB) pattern is common to most Android apps, such as Gmail, Calendar and Drive. It is essentially the main call to action on the screen.
Create a new drawable resource file under res\drawable. Call the file btn_background.xml and define
ripple as the root element, like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
You'll notice an error asking you to add
android:color as an attribute. Hover over the error and you'll see a red indicator with suggestions:
Select Insert required attribute android:color. Also pass in the default touch feedback color and the shape of the button. The completed
ripple tag should look like the following:
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="?android:colorAccent" />
This provides an oval-shaped background with the animation effect for the button.
In activity_detail.xml, add the following inside the
ImageButton tag:
Here you're instructing Android to use your new drawable as the background for the button.
Build and run. You'll see a more prominent FAB that responds to touch with the ripple effect described above.
Adding a Reveal Animation
Now you want to give your users the ability to add notes about what they'd like to do in each of these stunning places. For this, activity_detail.xml already has an
edittext that is hidden by default. When a user taps the FAB, it reveals itself with a cool animation like below:
DetailActivity. There are two methods you have yet to implement:
First, add the following lines inside
int cx = view.getRight() - 30;
int cy = view.getBottom() - 60;
int finalRadius = Math.max(view.getWidth(), view.getHeight());
Animator anim = ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(view, cx, cy, 0, finalRadius);
isEditTextVisible = true;
The two
int values are getting the
x and
y positions of the view with a slight offset. This offset gives the illusion that the reveal is happening from the direction of your FAB.
Next, the radius gives the reveal the circular outline that you can see in the GIF above. All of these values — the x-position, y-position and the radius — you pass into the animation instance. This animation is using
ViewAnimationUtils, which gives you the ability to create this circular reveal.
Since the
EditText view is initially hidden, you set the view's visibility to
VISIBLE and set your boolean check
isEditTextVisible to
true. Finally, you can call
start() on the animation.
To dismiss the view, add the following to
int cx = view.getRight() - 30;
int cy = view.getBottom() - 60;
int initialRadius = view.getWidth();
Animator anim = ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(view, cx, cy, initialRadius, 0);
anim.addListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
isEditTextVisible = false;
Here your goal is to hide the view and show the circular animation in the opposite direction. Therefore, you make the initial radius the width of the view and the ending radius 0, which shrinks the circle.
You want to show the animation first and then hide the view. To do this, you implement an animation listener and hide the view when the animation ends.
Now build and run and see this animation in action!
Note: If the keyboard presents itself, you'll need to dismiss it explicitly to see the effect without obstruction. Oh, and don't worry that your button doesn't show the plus icon yet, you'll fix that soon.
Morphing a Bezier Path for a Floating Action Button
Now that you have your reveal animation hiding and showing the edit text field, you can coordinate the icon on your FAB to look and respond just like the one shown below:
The starter project includes the vector paths for the plus and checkmark icons. You'll learn how to animate – or morph – the paths from the plus to the checkmark, and vice versa.
Under the drawables directory, create a new resource file by going to New\Drawable resource file. Call it icn_morph and define
animated-vector as the root element:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animated-vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
animated-vector requires an existing
android:drawable. In this case, the animated vector will start with a plus sign and morph into a checkmark, so you'll set the drawable to
Now for the actual morphing, add the following inside the
animated-vector tag:
android:name="sm_vertical_line" />
android:name="lg_vertical_line" />
android:name="horizontal_line" />
With the code above, you are essentially transforming the vertical line of the plus icon into a checkmark while fading out the horizontal line, as the diagram below illustrates:
Furthermore, the vertical line is comprised of two paths, a smaller vertical line and a larger one:
You can see from the diagram above that you can transform the first two targets,
sm_vertical_line and
lg_vertical_line, into a checkmark by drawing their paths at different angles, which is exactly what you do in the previous code block, along with fading out
Next, you need to reverse this animation to transform the checkmark back into a plus sign. Create another drawable resource file, this time calling it icon_morph_reverse, and replace it's contents with the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animated-vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:name="lg_vertical_line" />
android:name="horizontal_line" />
The two lines that make up the final vertical line in the plus icon will now morph back into their original states and the horizontal line will fade into view, creating a smooth effect.
Now, to complete the animation. Open DetailActivity.java and add the following to
onClick(), just above the
if statement:
Animatable mAnimatable;
Here you're declaring a field to hold a reference to the animatable that will actually perform the animation. Now, add the following to the bottom of the
if block:
mAnimatable = (Animatable) (mAddButton).getDrawable();
Here you set the image resource of the button to the
icn_morph drawable you created earlier, extract the animatable from it, and then kick-off the animation.
Finally, add the following to the very bottom of the
else branch:
mAnimatable = (Animatable) (mAddButton).getDrawable();
Here you're doing almost exactly the same as the previous step, except you assign
icn_morph_reverse as the image resource so the animation plays out in the opposite direction.
Along with morphing the icon, the user's click also adds the text from
mEditTextTodo to the
mToDoAdapter and refreshes the place activity list. This is not yet visible because of the white text, but in the next section, you'll add vibrant color to your views so that the text stands out.
Build and run, and watch the magic unfold before your eyes! The FAB icon now morphs between a checkmark and a plus sign when it's tapped.
Adding Dynamic Colors to Views Using Palette API
It's time to add colors to this view using the Palette API. And not just any colors—as before, they will be dynamic colors!
DetailActivity, flesh out
colorize() by adding the following:
Palette mPalette = Palette.generate(photo);
Just like you did previously, you generate a palette from a photo – although this time you do it synchronously – and then pass that palette onto
applyPalette(). Replace the existing method stub for
applyPalette() with this code:
private void applyPalette(Palette mPalette) {
getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(mPalette.getDarkMutedColor(defaultColor)));
Here you're you're using the dark muted color, the muted color, and the light vibrant color as the background colors of the window, title holder, and reveal view respectively.
Finally, to kick-off this chain of events add the following line to the bottom of
It's that time again… build and run your app! You can see the detail activity is now using a color scheme derived from the palette of the associated image.
Activity Transitions With Shared Elements
We've all seen and wondered about those nice image and text transitions in Google's app which have been updated to use Material Design. Well, wait no more—you're about to learn the intricacies of achieving smooth animation.
Between the places list view,
MainActivity, and the places detail view,
DetailActivity, you're going to transition the following elements:
- The image of the place;
- The title of the place;
- The background area of the title.
Open row_places.xml and add the following to the declaration of the
ImageView tag with an id of
And then add this to the
ImageView tag with an id of
Notice that
placeName doesn't have a transition name. This is because it is the child of
placeNameHolder, which will transition all of its child views. In activity_detail.xml, add the following to the ImageView tag with the id
And, in a similar fashion, add this to the
ImageView tag that has an id of
Shared elements between activities that you want to transition should have the same
android:transitionName, which is what you're setting up here. Also, notice that the size of the image, as well as the height of the
placeNameHolder are much larger in this activity. You're going to animate all of these layout changes during the activity transition to provide some nice visual continuity.
onItemClickListener() found in
MainActivity, add the following to the bottom of the method:
// 1
ImageView placeImage = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.placeImage);
LinearLayout placeNameHolder = (LinearLayout) v.findViewById(R.id.placeNameHolder);
// 2
Pair<View, String> imagePair = Pair.create((View) placeImage, "tImage");
Pair<View, String> holderPair = Pair.create((View) placeNameHolder, "tNameHolder");
// 3
ActivityOptionsCompat options = ActivityOptionsCompat.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(MainActivity.this,
imagePair, holderPair);
ActivityCompat.startActivity(MainActivity.this, intent, options.toBundle());
After adding this code, you will need to manually add the import statement
import android.support.v4.util.Pair to the top of the file as Android Studio cannot automatically determine that this is the intended package.
There are a couple of things to highlight here:
- You get an instance of both
placeNameHolderfor the given position of the
- You create a
Paircontaining the view and the
transitionNamefor both the image and the text holder view. Note that you will once again have to manually add the import statement to the top of the file:
- To make the activity scene transition with shared views, you pass in your
Pairinstances and start the activity with your
Build and run to see the image transition from the main activity to the detail activity:
However, the animation is a bit jumpy in two areas:
- The FAB button suddenly appears in
- If you tap on a row under the action or navigation bar, that row appears to jump a bit before it transitions.
You'll solve the FAB button issue first. Open DetailActivity.java and add the following to
getWindow().getEnterTransition().addListener(new TransitionAdapter() {
public void onTransitionEnd(Transition transition) {
The listener you add to the enter transition is triggered when the window transition ends, which you use to fade in the FAB button. For this to be effective, set the
alpha to
0 for the FAB in activity_detail.xml. Find the
ImageButton with a an id of
btn_add and add the following to its declaration:
Build and run! You'll notice the FAB transition is much smoother!:
As for the action bar and navigation bar issues, begin by adding the following to styles.xml, inside of the
style tag:
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
Since there is no action bar defined in styles.xml, you'll have to add it using individual XML views.
Open activity_main.xml and add the following inside
LinearLayout, just above the
RecyclerView tag:
layout="@layout/toolbar" />
This simply includes a toolbar layout that's provided as part of the starter project into the current layout. Now you need to make a similar change to the detail activity's layout.
Open activity_detail.xml and add the following add the very bottom of
FrameLayout, just below the closing tag of the inner
Next in
MainActivity, you need to create an instance of, and initialize the toolbar. Add the following field to the top of the class:
private Toolbar toolbar;
Next, set the value of the field in onCreate(). Add the following to the bottom of the method:
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
Here you assign the result of the
findViewById call to the new field, and then call
setUpActionBar(). At the moment it's just an empty method stub. Fix that now by adding the following to
if (toolbar != null) {
Here you set the action bar to be an instance of your custom toolbar, set the visibility of the title, disable the home button, and add a subtle drop shadow by setting the elevation.
Build and run. You'll notice that nothing much has changed, but these changes have laid the foundations of properly being able to transition the toolbar.
MainActivity and replace the existing
onItemClickListener with this one:
TravelListAdapter.OnItemClickListener onItemClickListener = new TravelListAdapter.OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(View v, int position) {
// 1
Intent transitionIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, DetailActivity.class);
transitionIntent.putExtra(DetailActivity.EXTRA_PARAM_ID, position);
ImageView placeImage = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.placeImage);
LinearLayout placeNameHolder = (LinearLayout) v.findViewById(R.id.placeNameHolder);
// 2
View navigationBar = findViewById(android.R.id.navigationBarBackground);
View statusBar = findViewById(android.R.id.statusBarBackground);
Pair<View, String> imagePair = Pair.create((View) placeImage, "tImage");
Pair<View, String> holderPair = Pair.create((View) placeNameHolder, "tNameHolder");
// 3
Pair<View, String> navPair = Pair.create(navigationBar,
Pair<View, String> statusPair = Pair.create(statusBar, Window.STATUS_BAR_BACKGROUND_TRANSITION_NAME);
Pair<View, String> toolbarPair = Pair.create((View)toolbar, "tActionBar");
// 4
ActivityOptionsCompat options = ActivityOptionsCompat.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(MainActivity.this,
imagePair, holderPair, navPair, statusPair, toolbarPair);
ActivityCompat.startActivity(MainActivity.this, transitionIntent, options.toBundle());
The differences between the original implementation and this one are thus:
- You've renamed the intent to provide more context;
- You get references to both the navigation bar and status bar;
- You've created three new instances of
Pair– one for the navigation bar, one for the status bar, and one for the toolbar;
- And finally you've updated the options that passed to the new activity to include the references to the new views.
Great! Build and run, and you'll see a much smoother animation:
Now if you tap on a row under the action/toolbar or navigation bar, it doesn't jump before the transition; it transitions with the rest of the shared elements, which is much more pleasing to the eye. Switch to the grid view and you'll notice that the transitions work very nicely with that layout as well.
Ta-da! Here is a video of the final app in action:
Where to Go From Here?
Be proud of yourself: You've created a full-blown Android material app! To challenge yourself, try the following:
- Use
StaggeredLayoutManagerto make a grid with three columns instead of two.
- Experiment with the
PaletteAPI in both
DetailActivityusing different palette options.
- Add a button on the place list and transition it to the detail view as a shared element—perhaps a favorite button.
- Make those transitioning animations even cooler—check out Android's Newsstand app and see how it transitions from a grid to a detail view with the reveal animation. You have all the code here to replicate that.
- Try to create all the morphing animations you did here, but using
And of course, apply this knowledge to your apps so that they can be as cool as this one. :]

Don't end your life over a girl. It's NEVER a reason to do so. Not even a good one. Your in a tough situation, I thought while I was reading this maybe the miscarriage is making her feel this way. But I continued the reason and it doesn't seem to be the reason why. She doesn't seem to care about you as much and she seems selfish and you have to chase her and please her. I would say move on.00|00|0
well one moment ago, i was at work and i really needed some help, she came help me, after today quiting her job. we worked at the same place. she told me that she isn't my gf anymore but that she still likes me a lot. today we kissed shortly, and i really can't live without her.
- Show AllShow Less
well she tells me she likes me a lot, but that we aren't together anymore. Wednesday we almost had sex again, next day she writes me we shouldn't see each other again, so i went to her place to talk, and i told her, let me talk, and just listen for once. than we just gave each other a small kiss, but she seemed not willingly. yesterday i saw her 40 minutes or so, and she was cheerfull. we danced a bit, and we kissed, than when ever i try to kiss her, she pulls away or just sits there. last weeks were stressfull for her, also for me, and she said us seeing each other is to stressfull, well im the reason she is improving on herself. she is looking for help, how can you like someone but not want that person around..
She is confused. Maybe keep trying and make her feel welcome. If it isn't working, or gets worse I would say move on. That's strange that she is acting that way. I would watch out though. It's a red flag

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi and welcome to Just Answer!
There is no limitation to get a loan from family members if the loan amount is less than $10,000. For loans above $10,000 - if there is no interest charged - the forgone interest is in the nature of a gift.
You still may deduct your medical expenses on your tax return.
Can the loan be done in monthly installments? What documentations need to be done to satisfy the IRS with this type of loan. The family member's AGI is less than 50K. And the medical loans covering Rxl, doctors, hospital, etc. are extensive but the familiy does not qualify for low income situation.
There is no limitation or special requirements for the loan. The loan is not considered a taxable income - as long as you will pay it back..
What is being planned is the family member will pay to the doctors, but will keep accurate records to keep track of the amount of loan. This will probably go on for about 5 years as the total medical costs for the emergency medical situation totals over15K
You may want to sign a promissory note to your relatives to ensure about your intention to pay the money back. But there is nothing is needed to be reported to the IRS.
I will get the family member who needs help to sign a promissory note. I just want the person to be able to dot all the i's and cross t's! That is something I had not thought of!!!
There is nothing to be reported to the IRS - not for you and not for your relative.
Thanks for your help.

Have a question about writing? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, using the subject line, "Question For The Panel". A panel of Kingdom Pen writers will then attempt to answer the questions you email to us on the website the last Saturday of every month.
Here are some past questions, and how we answered them:
I've been hearing a lot about subtext, how using it correctly can really help your story. But there seem to be a lot of conflicting ideas about subtext and what it is—can you guys clear up some of the confusion for me?"
A lot of people view subtext as an "advanced writer's tool" that can only be fully understood after having completed three novels, purchased a platinum membership on one of the more prestigious writing forums, and learned the top-top-secret Novelist's Fistbump. I disagree. Subtext is an organic element of storytelling that you've probably always known about to some extent, but that will take a lot of work and conscious thought to master.
At its most basic level, subtext is the meaning that lies underneath your character's words and actions. Your character says one thing, but means another—and the subtext peeps out from what he's saying, revealing his true thoughts and motives. Sometimes this is on an unconscious level, and the reader doesn't really understand what he's really saying until later, when the story events suddenly make everything make sense. At other times, the subtext is a little less subtle and instantly discernible, but it's still subtext.
A stellar (and not-so-subtle) example of this is in the movie It's A Wonderful Life, where George Bailey violently denounces any intentions of having any kind of romantic feelings for Mary, who retorts that she really couldn't care less, and that if he feels that way, why doesn't he just leave town and travel like he's always wanted to. Through the subtext, we as viewers get a much better feel for the characters' true motives and emotions then if they just cheerily announced that they were crazy about each other and didn't want to live life apart.
Subtext is too complex a topic to really talk about in-depth in this column—whole books have been written about it. But hopefully this will give you a place to get started from, and will dispel some of the confusion you've had on the subject. A full understanding and mastery of subtext will bring a whole new dimension to your characters and their story.

When writing stories about Bible characters, do I have to adhere absolutely to the facts or can I use some imagination? It's quite hard because the Bible does not contain many facts about a particular person.
My short answer is, yes, you can use some imagination, because you have to. Like you said, details are lacking. What facts there are, you must adhere to, but there is a lot that isn't said, and allows for flexibility.
My long answer is that attempting to add facts or events to Biblical peoples' lives is risky. You are straying from the truth, which could potentially confuse your readers as to what the truth really is. One example of this is in the famous book Paradise Lost by John Milton. Many commonplace ideas about Christianity come from that book, even though it is not scripture. Therefore, I probably would not even write a historical fiction novel using real Biblical people, as I would be too concerned about misrepresenting them, and thus, confusing others' understanding of what they were really like. But if you're set on using the events and characters recorded in the Bible, why not just change the names and locations? The Passagesbooks by the creators of Adventures In Odyssey are a great example of this, and they made for very compelling books, even for a 12-year-old me who did not like reading at the time.

Song to listen to while reading this chapter: "Treachery" from the first Bleach OST
Well, that was...much less action-packed than I expected, but whatever.
So we start off with Gerard and Hitsugaya exchanging introductions because goodness knows they have no idea who the other is (I found Gerard calling the SS "benevolent" especially amusing). After ever-so-casually shattering the ice on his arm - because, y'know, that's the safe way to do it - Gerard expresses the desire to be friends, and so tries to smash his friendly hand into his new friend Hitsugaya in a friendly way. Of course, being Mr. Awesome, Hitsugaya does a sicknasty half-pipe turnover out of the way and reveals that he is *gasp* no longer accepting friend requests before activating his Bankai, which is STILL the same as it was pre-timeskip, and giving Gerard the future opportunity to shout "CHRIST! I WAS FROZEN TODAY!" Oh, and Momo and Shinji aren't pancake-shaped yet, so I guess that's good too.
Then we jump to a very disturbing flashback of a boy Uryū walking in on his father apparently autopsying his mother's corpse...because he's a doctor, I guess. Gonna be honest, I thought it was a Momo flashback for a second and was very confused. Flash forward a few years to high school, and hey look it's Ichigo, who rightly questions why the hell someone like Uryū is in a public school instead of a doctor school or whatever. Turns out, Uryū doesn't want to be a doctor anymore after what he saw as a kid, which I can hardly blame him for.
Finally back to the present, where Uryū is confronted by comrade Haschwalth with his crazy The Almighty' eyes in full glory. Haschwalth, who coyly mentions that he can see the future, reveals that he's found a bunch of chips around Wahrwelt that are similar to the ones used in the Sanrei Glove - or should I say the Leidenhalt, as the Wandenreich apparently know it. Yay, more German. Haschwalth suspects that Uryū's up to something and, in a rare moment of emotion, attacks him to confirm his suspicions of traitorism. Uryū's blasted back, and as he tries to get Haschwalth to calm the hell down, Ichigo finds him. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh dear.
Alright chapter this week. I'm surprised that we're cutting away from Gerard and to Ichigo vs. Uryū so soon, but I figure we'll get back to the last two SS sooner or later, and this'll at least appease the idiots on kissmanga who whine every week about how Ichigo wasn't in any panels of the chapter or whatever. Also, Gerard is hilarious as ever.
Oh, and apparently Hitsugaya's Bankai is complete in the sense that it no longer has a time limit, so I guess that's out of the way.

To fix a leak around a chimney, you need to know where the leak is coming from. A proper diagnosis of the problem can help you make the most sensible and least expensive decision about how to fix it. Chimney leaks can be caused by a variety of different reasons. In cases where the roofing is flawed, it may only appear that the leak is coming from the chimney. Water is persistent and can travel laterally from the point of leakage before it appears inside your home.
Things You'll Need
- Ladder
- Flashlight
- Flat head screwdriver
- Roofing tar
- Shingles
- Roofing nails
- Hammer
Inspect the chimney thoroughly to find places where water may be entering. Look for cracks in the chimney cap, in the mortar between bricks, missing mortar or bricks, loose flashing around the base of the chimney and damaged shingles in the area of the chimney. Look down the flue with a flashlight to check the condition of the chimney liner.
Pry off the flashing, if you determine it is the problem, with a flat head screwdriver. The top edge of chimney flashing is set into the mortar between bricks so be careful not to damage any bricks when doing this.
Apply roofing tar to the joint between the bricks where the chimney flashing was then reinsert the chimney flashing into the joint.
Apply roofing tar to the joint between the flashing and the chimney bricks all the way around the chimney.
Replace the shingles in the vicinity of the chimney if they are deteriorating or showing signs of water damage.

Doyle should call special session, else incumbents are meat!
By Jack E. Lohman
(I shouldn't complain. I support a 100% turnover in Madison and this could prevent it. Or not. But it's the right thing to do nonetheless.)
Our winner-take-all electoral system contributed to the Florida fiasco in 2000 and promises to plague us many times over. It could have easily distorted it in the opposite direction. We should switch to a voting system called Instant Runoff Voting (IRV), or preferential voting, as proposed by www.fairvote.org.
Australia has used the system for years, and several U.S. cities are now switching to IRV (which is sometimes called "majority voting" because the winner must get a majority). Both Obama and McCain are supporters, as are the majority of voters. Now the U.K. is looking at it to avoid the last mess they had.
How it works:
Each ballot contains check boxes for your first, second, third and subsequent choices. It is simple, fair and easy to administer with optical card reading systems, which have proven to be the most reliable and easily accommodate both computer counting and hand count verification.
Suppose there are three candidates, Satan, Saint, and Angel. Most people (60%) prefer Angel or Saint over Satan, but their votes are split — 35% for Angel and 25% for Saint. Nonetheless, Satan wins with 40%, well short of a majority, and proceeds to advance the cause of evil over the period of his term. That's the current system!
Instant runoff voting solves this "spoiler" dilemma by eliminating the person with the least votes (Saint), and holding an immediate, second computerized round in the election, dividing Saint's votes amongst their 2nd choices so that voters elect a candidate that the majority (>50% + 1) prefers over the loser. In this case, assuming all of Saint's supporters would prefer Angel over Satan, Angel would win with 60% to Satan's 40%.
This is easily done with a simple matrix ballot and immediate computerized totaling on the first visit. If the voter is confused about the ballot and makes an error, it is automatically rejected and the vote can be immediately recast (you can only have one "first choice," one "second choice" and so on).
Vote for Saint, but if Saint fails to get 51%, your vote is automatically applied to Angel, and Angel wins on the 2nd count.
|2nd and
Final Count
Too confusing? Then vote for one person the old-fashioned way. You are not obligated to mark a second choice, but those who have a second choice may mark that candidate too. See an online sample HERE and HERE.
The advantage to incumbents and challengers alike is that they need only run one campaign, the general election. Primaries would no longer be needed. And because challengers will not want to alienate voters who may give them their "second choice" on the card, they are not as likely to sling mud and incumbents are not as likely to have their reputations trashed (deserving as that sometimes may be).
Third-party candidates:
This system gives third-party candidates a chance to demonstrate their real support, and we'd really know where Democrat and Republican support is lacking. But that's also why the current duopoly will oppose it. They'd rather keep third-party support to its absolute minimum, and the current system forces the Green, Reform and Libertarian voters to cast their precious vote for the lesser of the two evils. If they vote their conscience they in effect throw their vote away completely.
Under the current system the two parties appear to be the most popular, even though there are many independents with more popular positions. But since the R's and D's are calling the shots, our only chance to change the current system will require extreme public pressure (or a totally new regime in November).
IRV makes total sense and will benefit the public, but perhaps nothing will change until we have a complete turnover in our elected officials. (Now, there's a thought!)
This system is fair, and that may be its biggest downfall. The last thing in the world today's politicians want is "fair." They like their 90% reelection advantage just as it is, and they like the two-party see-saw to themselves and don't want to share.
The benefits:
Instant runoff voting (IRV) would do everything the current runoff system does to ensure that the winner has popular support – but it does it in one election rather than two.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/10/2013 (1406 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
HALIFAX -- Embattled tech giant BlackBerry announced the closure Thursday of its offices in the Halifax area, eliminating more than 300 high-paying jobs as part of a global push to cut costs.
The smartphone maker (TSX:BB) issued a statement saying the location in suburban Bedford would be shut down as of Jan. 10, affecting more than 350 employees. Most of them work as technical-support representatives.
But the Nova Scotia operation was supposed to be much more than just a support centre. In February, the company announced the location would be the home for a new centre of excellence to promote the BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
However, the company is now in the process of cutting its global workforce by 4,500 as it struggles to deal with a shrinking market share and disappointing sales of that device.
BlackBerry, based in Waterloo, Ont., said about 35 workers in Halifax will be offered continued employment, but they will have to work from home.
"We know that our employees in the Halifax area have worked hard on behalf of our company," the company said in a statement.
"This is difficult news for them and for the Halifax community. However, these changes are necessary... to drive the company toward profitability."
The company announced in November 2005 it would set up shop in Nova Scotia, thanks in part to financial assistance offered by the provincial government.
The province offered $19 million in subsidies, including $14 million in payroll rebates and $5 million for training and recruitment. The company was told it had to create 1,200 jobs over five years to get the full rebate.
The Bedford operation has been in operation since 2006.
BlackBerry drew almost $11 million from the payroll-rebate program over a six-year period ending in February 2012, according to Nova Scotia Business Inc., the province's business lending agency.
In February, when the centre of excellence was announced, the province said the company could get up to $10 million over five years if it kept at least 400 jobs in Nova Scotia at an average salary of at least $60,000 a year.
More recently, the NDP government has refused to release figures on the number of jobs created.
The company said Thursday it would repay $2 million in government contributions.
The layoffs in Halifax come at an awkward time for the province, which witnessed the defeat of its NDP government in a provincial election Tuesday. The province's stagnant economy and lack of job growth figured prominently in the 31-day campaign.
Nova Scotia's Liberal party was elected to govern with a large majority, but premier-designate Stephen McNeil has yet to assume power because the transition to a new government has just started.
A spokeswoman for NDP Premier Darrell Dexter, who lost his seat in the Liberal sweep, wouldn't comment on the closure. She referred all calls to McNeil and his team.
Kelly Regan, the re-elected Liberal who represents the Halifax-area riding where BlackBerry is located, said the New Democrats must have known the local operation was in jeopardy.
"I am sure that the province will have some kind of a program ready," she said. "They had to have known this was coming. All you had to do was listen to the news."
Regan said the shutdown will have a big effect on Halifax because virtually all of the jobs are relatively high-paying positions.
"I feel terrible for these families who are losing a major source of employment today," she said.
McNeil later issued a statement saying he understands the NDP government will contact BlackBerry to identify services it can offer jobless workers.
"It is my sincere hope that assistance will help provide a smooth transition to new employment opportunities in the Nova Scotia economy," he said.
BlackBerry workers leaving the company's Bedford offices Thursday declined comment.

I also thought it was kinda funny that he entered to "Rockin' in the Free World" by Neil Young, which to many is, in part at least, an indictment of 1980's Wall St. greed and drug excess allegedly causing misery among the masses. Ironically Young was getting both rich and high at the time.
Young does indeed have a problem with it: https://twitter.com/DomenicoNPR/status/6109769090…

No kidding,…Neil Young? I had to laugh too.
He should have played Beethoven's Ninth….the William Tell Overturn, or "Come Together" By the Beatles. Or "Their Coming to America" by the OTHER Neil.
He needs a new music director.

The magazine's story tells readers about the volunteer group, the Syria Civil Defense, also known as the White Helmets, which has rescued thousands of people from buildings bombed in the civil war. The group received the Right Livelihood Award in September.
The quotation is the 32nd verse of Al-Ma'idah Surah and is the credo of the White Helmets. The whole verse is about Adam's son Cane killing his brother Able.
"On account of this, we prescribed for the children of Israel that whosoever killed a person — unless it be for killing a person or for creating disorder in the land — it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and whoso gave life to one, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind. And Our Messengers came to them with clear Signs, yet even after that, many of them commit excesses in the land." (Al Quran 5:32/33)

Good gifts for new neighbors?
I love welcoming new people into the neighborhood, and, of course, love to be welcomed myself! It has been pretty great being in the military community where people are constantly coming and going because everybody usually introduces one another as long as someone takes the first step.
I think the best gifts depend on which side you're on.... the person who just moved in or the neighbor who was already there.
No matter which end you're on, I think food is always a great gift! A plate of cookies is a great way to introduce yourself and a casserole is such a stress-reliever when you're unpacking. Plus, if they have to return the casserole dish, that's a great time to chat when they aren't so frazzled!
Other than that, if you're the neighbor who was already around... The absolute best gift I think you can give is that of friendship. Let the new neighbor know if they need you for anything, you've got their back. If you have tools, let them know you can help them out with that aspect of those just-moving in repairs, especially if they're first time home-buyers. Something you have to offer that's not too huge, just let them know. Even if they never do, it's the thought that counts.
If you're the one moving in, just try to be gracious and courteous. Like I said, cookies don't hurt. Maybe offer to have your neighbor over for tea once you're unpacked. Maybe ask them if they have any tips for the area if they're not busy... People love to help.
If you both have kids, introduce them to each other if the situation seems comfortable.
As for other gifts... it can be tricky. I think it depends on where you're living and the local customs. Like, back home... I don't think a bottle of whiskey would be bad, or a jar of homemade apple butter. But, somewhere more... I donno, urban... or suburbian. I really don't know. Throw a barbecue to meet the neighbors?
I'm about to be a new neighbor, so any tips you ladies have are greatly appreciated. What's the best gift you've given and received as a new neighbor? Why? How far down the road do you consider your neighbor? We're going to be living in the boonies and I don't want to be weird.
I feel like you guys have done this more than I have, especially in the civillian world, so fill me in, please!

I went to see a friend yesterday who is halfway through her pregnancy. I hadn't seen her since I have had Bubs and so this was the first chance I had got to introduce her to Bubs and to chat about things to her. I also have a few other friends who are pregnant and with whom I am meeting up with in the coming weeks. These are all first time Mums. My friend asked me a question, it was: How bad is it?
Now. What do you reply to that? Do you tell them the stark, harsh, black and white truth? Or do you sugar coat it a bit, not wanting to upset them?
Now personally, I am a very straight talking person. I can tell white lies and I can sugar coat things but I feel a bit of a fraud doing it. Can I say that it wasn't bad? Can I say it was easy? Can I make my terrified friend feel a bit better? A hundred thoughts rushed through my mind. And I do think it depends when you are asked this question. At the start, everything seemed so awful and terrifying, and yet so lovely all at the same time. Now, 3 months later, things are calmer, more relaxed, and I can enjoy things a lot more.
It got me thinking that when people ask you that question, it is so subjective. The old stereotype of women talking about their horror births, well, to each of us, I bet there was one part of the whole baby making and giving birth process that was a bit horrific. For me, being Induced was awful, as was the first few weeks when I struggled to breastfeed. How can I tell someone else what it is like, when the issues I was concerned about were so unique to my situation?
When I was pregnant, all I thought about was the birth. I never thought beyond that because it just blew my mind a bit at the time. I was terrified of going into labour, and the pain. Not knowing what this pain which I was told was awful, felt like, was anxiety inducing.
In the end I told my friend that birth isn't that bad, but that the first few weeks are tough, and just get through them day by day. Because for me, actually giving birth was OK, the process to which I got to the point of being able to give birth, was not OK. But that was just my experience. I told her it will really annoy her as everyone will tell her it gets easier, which will really really piss you off, but then one day, you look around and realise that it is easier. Because it does get easier. And really that's probably the only one consistent piece of information anyone can give any new parent. I also suggested a few books I wish I'd read before the baby was born, which would probably be more informative and unbiased than myself.
If she has any issues once the baby is born, I can perhaps signpost her onto some of the support I had, or tell her how to avoid things going so badly the way they did for me. When you're six months pregnant, do you really need to hear the ins and outs of it?
When my non-pregnant friend asked me this same question, I admit I think I let my mouth talk before my brain went into gear. I told her not to do it, and that she should enjoy her life and be at least 40 before she even thinks about it, because it is exhausting, tiring, you don't sleep and your whole life is upside down and all you think about is this little person. It was only about 8 weeks after having Bubs and I was still a little raw from it all. I think she'll probably need counselling if she gets pregnant after my little rant. I think because she wasn't imminently going to do it, I felt more able to explain to her how I felt at the time, and to start going down the 'horror story' route.
I think really I just need to shut up, smile and nod, and just order another cappuccino next time.
What do you tell your first time preggers friends, or your friends who are yet to have babies, when they ask you what birth and parenthood is like? Do you tell the truth?
