[TEMPLATE] [4.4+] Material Design Template - Android Apps and Games

Hi guys,
UPDATE 2016-02-22: Current Android Studio makes it easy creating apps with material design. I wont update this thread and it can be closed. Feel free to use the code at github if you find anything useful there.
Android Material Design is the way to go at the moment, but there is no example from google providing a basic setup.
There is many information spreaded in lots of threads and articles, thus this makes it hard for beginners to fetch all the information and bring it together.
What I came up with, is a clean Android Studio project providing all the material style you need.
My goal is, to share and improve this template, in order to provide future developers a starting point.
Look here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There is no external library included, so you can edit all the elements.
Feel free to fork and use this project. If theres something missing, please send me a pull request!
Here you go: https://github.com/hutilicious/MaterialRohling

Updates
22.02.2015
Updated to Android Studio 1.1
Fixed accent color for lollipop devices
16.09.2015
Updated to Android Studio 1.3.2
Changed the way tabs are inflated and added to the view. You can now dynamically add and remove tabs! Its much easier now to change the content of the app. Reorganized and optimized source code. This update is a must!

Is this an actual template that you can import and create new apps from or just an example that you can edit and make modifications as you like

What is the largest resolution?

It's actually not that clear what is the purpose of you project.

It seems like just two combined google templates from android studio: View Pager and Navigation Drawer

It should help you build apps with the Material Design. This is no template you can import into android Studio.

Not quite right. If you combine those templates you wont have a material look in 4.4 and you wont have a material tabbar. I just tried to give a starting point, because for me it was hard to get these informations together to a working project.

Hi,
you have to remove the SlidingTabLayout and the ViewPager from the acitivity_main.xml.
Then, in MainAcivity.java remove all calls related to that objects.
These are in initLayout(), bindTabevents, addTab, etc.
You may remove all Java Class files related to Tabs, too.
Dont forget to add a new layout element which replaces the viewpager, so you can add your content there.
I hope this helps.

Hi!
Good template to start with material design.
Wish I've had it earlier

Hello
Mobile Money Manager is what its name suggest. I've created it because none of the existing ones was fit to me. They were either overloaded with functionalities or just poor-looking. In this app, I'm trying to find something between.
Mobile Money Manager is avalible in english and polish language version. Description avalible on Google Play
The beta version is free of charges and adds. It might however include some bugs. I'd appreciate any bug report.

Why no holo theme?
It's classy and actually pretty easy to implement in an app.
Consider it
I'm considering it. The only thing that stops me is those cute icons (they are cute, you have to admit)
Great application! Works great on HTC Desire. Simple and nice, easy to use
Looks promising. Good work. Here's something I noticed : When you add income or expense and select the category and get the prompt "Insert Value", clicking on the text area opens the alphabet keyboard. Clearly a number is expected so the number keypad should open up.

yeah it's a big pain int the... you know. It's a known issue. Such a simple thing is actually not easy to do. I'm trying to get some clues over the internet and fix it asap. For now I'll just make the keyboard pop-up without clicking on edit, so its at least what I can do to make user's life easier
I cant instal this app on my froyo, maybe you should make version for older phones too?

UI is cute~~

I always wanted that because with default apps, it felt useless!
Please spread the news so it can reach the maximum number of developers!

Great Job dev! Keep it up and bring us more goodies
Thanks!
One question.. right now the QSlide Apps SDK requires API level 17, but my QLight plugin does not include the SDK itself. It uses the QSlide apps shortcut functionality only. Can this functionality be used on lower API levels? I didn't find this information in the documentation. It would be great if I can make my app available on older versions of QSlide.

Hey quick question, since the qslide sdk does include a simple "shortcut" function, would it be posible to make a simple qlite type app but let the end user direct what app the plugin launches? Basically use the shortcut function as a means to alow any app to be put in the qslide area.

Yes, this is possible, but the app will be launched as a standard application and will not use QSlide's floating windows.

Yes, I am working in new features.
I am trying to implement a repository where you can download prepared templates. I want to add a lot of templates of any type.
Also i want to allow users sending their data by email in a nice design.
I want to do both as soon as possible

[APP][4.0+] Numix Croma

Market Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.numixproject.croma
Croma is a an app to create and share palettes, built with simplicity in mind. Its design is inspired my Google's material design.
It allows you to create palettes in three ways:
• by manually adding colours
• by extracting colours from an image
• by automatically creating palettes (complementary, split-complementary, analogous etc.) from a selected colour.
The app also allows you to save and share palettes with ease and extract colours form an image from your favourite image viewer. You can choose between plenty of ways to share your palette. Opening shared palettes with Croma is as easy as a single tap on the palette link you've received.

You can find the app source code (Java for Android + WebApp in HTML5) on GitHub at: https://github.com/numixproject/org.numixproject.croma
Cool app! This would come in handy next year when it's time to paint.
If you would like, I can translate the app into Spanish... just post the strings.xml file here.
Security
Hi, I decided sometime ago to test how hackeable apps I found here on XDA are, and, with Freedom or Lucky Patcher I can get the pro version of your app, so, you may want to check your security.
(also: what the pro versions does? After checking, I couldn't find a difference)

Hi, thanks for your report! The pro version allows to add more than 4 colors in a palette (and so to extract < 4 colors from images).

More than 4? I used to use color grab (it gets colors from the camera, but one by one, and it's really ugly), your app looks good, and gets more from the camera, the donate version is worth it, keep up with the good work
Hi, as a themer this could be a very useful tool. But when I try your app on a screenshot of my theme I notice the hexcolors are not equal with the one's I used..
