The Google 2014 development Conference has released a new design language, material, and plans to apply it to platforms such as Android, Chrome OS and Web pages, and the latest release of the Android L system uses this design language. According to Google, Material design has clean typography and a simple layout that makes it more efficient to use the device screen and is suitable for different shapes and sizes of screens.
In material design, the surface and shadow effects of objects are similar to those in real life, and users can see directly which elements are able to touch, which elements move, the content is at the front, and the center of the entire interface, and we use the style of modern print design, This clarifies the relationships among the elements to help users get a better detail experience-from Google's designer Nicolas Jetkov Nicholas Jitkoff.
What are the more obvious features of Material design?
1) Theme: Support More colors, and when necessary, all colors can be displayed in different shades of gray, thus saving power.
2) Widgets: Added new CardView and recycleview to a certain extent to alleviate the pressure of the production of the ListView. A new controller is added for Mediastyle and mediasession functions, so mastering the use of these two controls is necessary for future development.
3) object Real-time shading: You can add a realistic shadow effect to your pictures as they appear, making it easy to interact with each object.
4) Animation effect: The switch between the various interface and the switch between the application of animation has changed, looks more cool and more natural.
Android L, which uses the art operating environment by default, is fully compatible with 64-bit chips, which Google says will be twice times faster than the previous Dalvik mode, but consumes more memory space. At the same time, Android L uses the new device Policy manager and user profile, which makes it easier for enterprise users to manage Android devices, while also improving the security of the device to some extent.
