Summary

Representing data in lists and grids is a powerful technique that makes up a large part of many applications, and the layouts and views provided by the design and support libraries allow us to create the clean and simple layouts associated with Material Design.

CardView lies at the heart of many successful material layouts, and is one of the most useful and recognizable material views, allowing us to present content in an intuitive manner.

One of the things Material Design is best known for is animation. Not only does does this make our apps look fantastic, but can also be very functional and instructional, giving the user a clearer sense of application flow and purpose, and this is what we will be tackling in the next chapter.
