Material Witness Compat
A Google I/O 2014 demo written by Romain Guy ported to work on all versions of the platform back to Android 2.3.3 (API Level 10).
The original Material Witness is a sample application for the new Material Design APIs introduced in the Android L Preview SDK. Most of the features have been backported and include:
- Dynamic palette using the palette support library
- Circular reveal using the blog post by Romain Guy using bitmap shaders
- Activity transitions using the DevByte from Chet Haase on custom activity animations
- Path tracing using the blog post by Romain Guy using path effects
Features that couldn't be backported include:
- Custom theme colors. Whatever is allowed by the the v7 appcompat library has been implemented
- Ripple drawables
The complete video of the Google I/O 2014 talk detailing how the original application works can be found on YouTube.
Demo
All gifs are in slow motion and were recorded on a Android 4.4 KitKat device (API Level 19).
