Living in a Material world
summary
Material design defines pixels as a digital fabric with elevation, shadows and motion; Google reports ~200k Material apps and >40% of new Play Store apps using Material (over one in three when excluding games). Use the Palette API to extract vibrant and muted swatches, apply Roboto/ Noto typography, and follow FAB dimensions (16dp margin phones, 24dp tablets) for the Floating Action Button. Widgets are back‑compatible but animations need Lollipop (API 21+). Prefer Shared Element Transition for single shared views, use Ripple at touch points and circular reveal for show/hide effects.
