The all new hamburger-flip-animation for the drawer button:
How to do this in Android L? (or lower sdk)
It is in the v7 support library. Probably better using support library APIs rather than third party ones. This answer does a great job of explaining it:

A Good one for me was, Its not image based. Its based on Drawable

I would like to use this effect:
It's a circle focusing the user on a special part of the application.
It also has a pulsaring white smaller circle.
Is there a Standard Android effect out there? I've already seen such a thing somewhere else.
Anyhow, I would appreciate it to get some code on how to achieve this effect.
Yes, you can achieve this effect by using third-party android libraries. One of them is FancyShowCaseView.
It uses Circular reveal animation and you can easily use it in an AndroidX project by adding the following:
implementation 'me.toptas.fancyshowcase:fancyshowcaseview:1.2.1'
If the project doesn't incorporate AndroidX, then use:
implementation 'me.toptas.fancyshowcase:fancyshowcaseview:1.1.5'
A sample usage has been provided in their github repo. Please follow the link associated with the library name. Hope this helps.
Another one is TapTargetView. This suits more to your required effect I assume. Please have a look here in the following at the end of this gif of the search button:
It's called Feature Discovery. Not sure that there are any standard Android effects for that but there are tons of libs on android arsenal
I want to implement material design in android for versions lower than lollipop but i dont know whether it is possible? If it is possible then can someone help me on how to implement material design for kitkat and lower versions?
Please help providing some reference material to implement material design for kitkat or lower version.
Here is a very usefull link about using the support library. I hope it will help you.
Design Support library is what you are looking for!
Below link we help you get started..
http://android-developers.blogspot.in/2015/05/android-design-support-library.html
Go through all the components introduced in the library and for the detailed know how you could google search each and every component as per need..Information/tutorials are easily available..
One more thing Stackoverflow is not the place for developers to ask any question without any research..there is google for that.
So, please first do some research on some topic,start writing code and when you are stuck somewhere then come here for help!!
SO community would be happy to help!
Happy Coding!! :)
I'm new at material design. I'm working on some projects and I want to use the material design. But I cannot find any source or sample for components. Is there any code sample (especially animated circle loader)?
Thanks a lot!
There are tens (if not hundreds) samples regarding ways to implement Material Design, some of 'em even described how you could make it work for older versions of Android.
This blog post by Google's own Chris Banes regarding AppCompat v21 is a good place to start when you're also working on Android versions lower than Lollipop.
While this, still from Mr. Banes, thoroughly describe one of Lollipop's most famed API, Palette.
Moving on, this blog post would help you started with those shiny round buttons (or FABs) and, as a bonus, a trick to apply ripple effect to it.
I think those three links should be more than enough to get you started making Material apps - I've built mine and those three were my first guides. Sadly though, I can't find one that matches exactly with your Dribbble link. Then again, I doubt a widget such as those exists today. I've been wrong before though. :)
Hope this helped!

I need this functionality, like gmail,linkedin,youtube app but that should support also older versions of android like 2.3
SherlockNavigationDrawer is probably the way to go, as I reckon you might want to combine it with ActionBarSherlock as well.
That said, SlidingMenu by Athulh works both with and without ActionBarSherlock, so that's another option. :)
Until now I was using TabActivity for Tabs layout.
Since this Activity is deprecated What will be the best way to form a tabs interface?
I saw many tutorials showing the use of TabFragments but this is good only for high sdk version (15 and higher).
So what objects can I use for tabs layout considering it should work with API 10 and above and of course not deprecated?
An example will be great!
As Commonsware said here ::
"Deprecated" in Android means "we think there is a better solution that you should investigate". Rarely does "deprecated" mean "it is unusable". TabHost, AFAIK, works fine on Android 4.0.
There are also project named ActionBarSherlock which demos have all the capability of the compatibility library. Source code is also available on github.
There is also this tutorial which helps you how to use TabFragement.
I faced the same question while ago too and the best solution is use ActionBarSherlock with Fragments and there is a really nice tutorial how to implement TabHost in your app which you can find here :
ActionBarSherlock:FragmentTabs.
It worked for me, hope it will work for you too : )
P.S. And one another thing, it is really good when you are building an application to look for design guidelines and the best ways you can build your app so you can take advantage of the latest news in Android App Development.
