Material design overview material form simulation

Google simulates the morphological changes of natural ink and paper, the relationship between light and shadow, and the hierarchical relationship between paper and paper to bring a real sense of space.

More realistic animation

Android5.x has a large number of new animation effects, making the overall design style more natural and harmonious.

Use of large color blocks

Material Desigin uses a large number of color blocks with high saturation and moderate brightness to highlight the primary and secondary aspects of the interface, and sweeps the heavy feeling of the Android4.X series Holo themes to make the interface more fashionable and visual impact.

There are also many new design styles, such as floating buttons, focusing on large charts, frameless buttons, ripple effects, and other new features.

What can we do in material design to ensure backward compatibility? Use a material design topic to make the view shadow. Use RecyclerView and CardView custom animations to download and install intel x86 simulator accelerators.

The previous ARM Simulator was simulated in the form of software, so it was very slow ~ X86 can choose to use the host machine's GPU and so on, which is almost the same as the real machine's speed ~

The updated SDK below uses a domestic proxy. You can check the required children's shoes.

Download

Open SDK Manager

After install

Install

Find the following directory of the SDK, because the accelerator is cross-platform and the windows operating system corresponds to the exe execution file. install it.
