# Android Lollipop Exercise

Android app to use as the base app for implementing the following material widgets and animations that were introduced in Android 5.0 (API level 21).

* RecyclerView (the new ListView)

* CardView (custom outline and shadow)

* Ripple animation (touch feedback)

* Palette (Incorporate dynamic color)

* Shared Element Activity Transition

* Floating Action Button

The app is composed of two screens. The first screen displays a list of contacts, in which, each item is described by the contact's avatar and name. Once a contact is selected from the list, a second screen appears with additional details about the contact, including his contact no. and a floating action button to place a phone call to this contact.

## Overview

The app does the following:

1. It uses a `RecyclerView` to display a list of contacts.

2. `CardView` is used to display each contact in the list.

Suggested extensions:

1. Add ripple effect to `CardView` to provide touch feedback.

2. Use `Palette` to add dynamic color to contact item's background. Use the same color as the accent color for the views in details screen.

3. Add shared element activity transition to provide a seamless experience by emphasizing continuity between activity transitions.

4. Add a floating action button, clicking on which should enable you to directly place a call to your contact.

## Libraries

This app leverages the following third-party library:
