The Material design guidelines advocate the use of authentic motion and the Play Store app has (at the time of writing) recently had an update to provide curved motion when transitioning from a list into a detail view. In this short series we’ll look at how to implement curved motion.

Manual Layout Transitions – Part 4
Layout transitions are an important aspect of Material design as they help to indicate the user flow through an app, and help to tie visual components together as the user navigates. Two important tools for achieving this are Activity Transitions (which we’ll cover in the future) and Layout Transitions which we have covered on Styling…

Material – Part 8
Previously in this series we’ve looked at a number of different things that we can do to begin applying some principles of material design to our apps. In this concluding article in this series we’ll turn our attention to Activity transitions which are an important part of material design as they are designed to provide…
Transition Animations – Part 4
Previously in this series we’ve looked at a few aspects of Transition animations, but all of the examples have comprised of the views being animated having a single, common parent. In other words, they are all children of the same parent layout. However, Android layouts are rarely as simple as the example layouts that we’ve…
Transition Animations – Part 3
In the previous article we looked at Scenes and how they can be used to encapsulate static view hierarchy states, however we’ve only looked at moving items around. In this article we’ll look at different use cases for our animations and see how we can use different transitions.
Transition Animations – Part 2
In the previous article we began looking at the new Transition Animations API introduced in KitKat 4.4. In this article we’ll have a look beyond the basics and explore how we can take greater control over things using Scenes.
Transition Animations – Part 1
As I write, it is less than two weeks since Google announced Android 4.4 KitKat. There are quite a few new APIs in this version of Android, and in this series we’ll have a look at the all-new Transition Animations.
