The components of Material Design
summary
Material Theming is a concrete system delivered via the Material Components for Android library that maps Type, Color, Shape attributes to real widgets; it requires switching to the MaterialComponents theme or Bridge themes or the app crashes with a Theme Enforcement Error. Components demonstrated include BottomAppBar (FAB cradle, vertical offset, cradle margin and animated alignment), revamped Material Button (icon, outline, stroke, ripple), MaterialShapeDrawable with shapeAppearance/overlays and API‑15 shadow backports, and a 1.0 (Jul 20) → 1.1 Alpha (Oct 31) release cadence.
