What is Android Lollipop Material Design



Android 5.0 brings material design to Android and gives an expanded UI toolkit for integrating the new design patterns easily in apps. 

New 3D views lets developers to give z-level to raise elements off of the view hierarchy and cast real time shadow, even as they move. 

Built in Activity transitions take the user seamlessly from one state to another with beatiful animated motion. The material theme adds transitions for activities including ability to use shared visual elements across transitions

Ripple animations are available for buttons, checkboxes, and other touch controls in the app. 

Developers can now also define vector drawables in XML and animate them in a variety of ways. Vector drawables scale without losing definition, so they are perfect for single color in app icons. 

A new system managed processing thread called RenderThread keeps animations smooth even when there are delays in main UI thread.
