Android 6 and the design support library continue to push mobile design forward.

In Android User Interface Design, Second Edition, leading Android developer and user experience (UX) advocate Ian G. Clifton shows how to combine exceptional usability and outstanding visual appeal. 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
- Use custom themes and styles for consistent visuals
- 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!
