Material design is a comprehensive guide for visual, motion, and interaction design across platforms and devices that combines classic principles of good design with innovative technology. It provides themes, widgets like RecyclerView and CardView, and APIs for custom shadows and animations to help developers build material design apps. While some material design features require Android 5.0 (API level 21), compatibility is supported through the AppCompat library.
