Material Design is a visual design language for user interfaces that provides guidelines for layouts, colors, and motion across platforms. It includes new widgets like RecyclerView and CardView, APIs for custom shadows and animations, and recommendations for implementing Material Design themes and styles in Android apps. Key aspects are using Material Design templates for mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts, and replacing fragments within a container using FragmentTransactions.
