[JAVA] What to do immediately after introducing Material Design

Overview

I will write what to do after introducing Material Design to the Android project. This is done for Hello world after creating an Android project.

Library introduction

In order to introduce Material Design, write build.gradle as follows.

build.gradle

    // material design
    api 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha06'

Changes to styles.xml

Write res / values / styles.xml as follows.

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

Changes to activity_main.xml

Change res / layout / activity_main.xml and check the display.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Verification"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

result
