Where to Go From Here?
Be proud of yourself: You’ve created a full-blown Android material app! To challenge yourself, try the following:
- Use
StaggeredLayoutManager to make a grid with three columns instead of two.
- Experiment with the
Palette API in both MainActivity and DetailActivity using different palette options.
- Add a button on the place list and transition it to the detail view as a shared element—perhaps a favorite button.
- Make those transitioning animations even cooler—check out Android's Newsstand app and see how it transitions from a grid to a detail view with the reveal animation. You have all the code here to replicate that.
- Try to create all the morphing animations you did here, but using
animated-vectors.
And of course, apply this knowledge to your apps so that they can be as cool as this one. :]
