Clifton helps you build apps that new users can succeed with instantly: apps that leverage users' previous experience previous experience, reflect platform conventions, and never test their patience.

You won't need any design experience: Clifton walks you through the entire process, from wireframes and flowcharts to finished apps with polished animations and advanced compositing. You'll find hands-on case studies and extensive downloadable sample code, including complete finished apps.

- Integrate Material Design into backward compatible Android 6 apps
- Understand views, the building blocks of Android user interfaces
- Make the most of wireframes and conceptual prototypes
- Apply user-centered design throughout
- Master the essentials of typography and iconography

- Handle inputs and scrolling
- Create beautiful transition animations
- Use advanced components like spans and image caches
- Work with the canvas, color filters, shaders, and image compositing
- Combine multiple views into efficient custom components
- Customize views to meet unique drawing or interaction requirements
- Maximize downloads by designing compelling app store assets

Step by step, this guide bridges the gap between Android developers and designers, so you can collaborate on world-class app designs...or do it all yourself!
