Summary

The Android SDK, Android Studio, and AVD comprise a sophisticated development toolkit, and even setting them up is no simple task. But, with our tools in place, we were able to take a first look at one of Material Design's major components: the material theme. We have seen how themes and styles relate, and how to create and edit styles in XML. Finally, we have touched on material palettes, and how to customize a theme to utilize our own brand colors across an app.

With these basics covered, we can move on to explore Material Design further, and in the next chapter, we will look at layouts and material components in greater detail.
