Description
Activity
- added this to the milestone
on Jul 9, 2015 Can we break this down any more concretely? Is there a way to do it incrementally?
Yep. The main goal here is to make people aware that we're explicitly going to use Material instead of the previous styles now that Google has improved Backward Compatibility via the Android Design Support Library as of Google IO 2015.
Initial Setup
- Add Android Design Support Library to Gradle via
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0' - Change "Old" Widgets To "New" Widgets
On Going
Bigger Picture

👍 I think this is going to be awesome. I'd also enjoy seeing a little bit of tweaking to give it the Mapbox look and feel.
Interesting. Gets hard to keep track of all the UI paradigm changes on Android and the various compatibility libraries.
I'm going to start converting the TestGLApp to Material Design based on Chris Banes' Cheesesquare demo project. This will help ensure that the GL SDK, and specifically the MapView work properly in the new design paradigm that Google is promoting as well as what customers will likely expect. It'll also make it easier to add new features for testing to the app by using the Navigation Drawer.
For future comparison, here are screenshots of the current UI.
May i suggest implementing a transparent statusbar with a floating toolbar for maximum map view. ( like in google maps)
