Going Material

Compatibility

Possible, but not simple. Cherry pick from documentation:

// Check if we're running on Android 5.0 or higher
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
    // Call some material design APIs here
} else {
    // Implement this feature without material design
}

Fragments

• Still (hard)core component of Android SDK
• Could be used better with FragmentManager:
  • FragmentManager#saveFragmentInstanceState
  • FragmentManager#putFragment
  • FragmentManager#popBackStack

Material Design

As far as I am concerned, we should just upgrade to:

• Material Theme with Sierra colors
• Use Navigation Drawer
  • Do not see links with Fragments yet.
