Douya Bean sprouts
A Material Design app for douban.com
The open source Material Design Douban client. Among all people who directly access Douban, the most common and consistent usage is around ratings, comments, discoveries, and discussions around movies, TV, books, records, and events (what we call "items"). We will use the ratings and comments that are synchronized with the website as a starting point and basis to reconstruct the discovery and discussion around personal interests on the mobile phone. Douban is never a single website, and the usage of Douban is naturally different. Douban is used to obtain information, but whether the acquisition of information is based on entries and algorithms, or based on neighbors and people, this issue has probably remained unresolved in the multiple revisions of Douban. Douban Broadcasting has been one of the few Android Design applications in China a few years ago. Actively express the characteristics of Douban, such as broadcasting, neighbors, Douyou, etc. -

Shimmer for Android
An easy way to add a shimmering effect to any view in an Android app
Shimmer is an Android library that provides an easy way to add a shimmer effect to any view in your Android app. It is useful as an unobtrusive loading indicator that was originally developed for Facebook Home. Shimmer for Android is implemented as a layout, which means that you can simply nest any view inside a ShimmerFrameLayout tag, and call to start the animation from your code. That's all that is required. The layout will use the values you specify either on the tag (using custom attributes) or programmatically in your code, and generate an animation on the fly. See the API reference for further details. Note that you cannot use the custom attributes on the tag if you use the Jar file. You can instead download the AAR file and reference that locally in your project. You can use the included Gradle wrapper to build the Shimmer library and sample application locally as well. -

It supports multiple view types such as ListView, GridView, ScrollView, and WebView, while also allowing developers to extend functionality through custom delegates. One of its key features is automatic styling based on the application’s Action Bar theme, reducing the need for manual customization. The API is designed to be flexible, enabling developers to control refresh behavior, animations, and text feedback. -

Android Image Slider
An amazing and convenient Android image slider
The Android Image Slider project is an Android UI component/library that provides a convenient, customizable image slider (carousel) for mobile apps. Instead of building a custom slider from scratch, developers can drop in this library’s slider view into their layout and configure it via XML or code to display a series of images — from local drawables, files, or remote URLs — with smooth transitions, animations, and optional indicators. This significantly simplifies development of galleries, onboarding screens, advertisement banners, or any UI requiring swipable images in Android apps. The library supports various slide animations (transitions), auto-sliding, and event listeners (e.g., click events on slides), giving developers flexibility around how the slider behaves. For mobile apps where image-heavy UI is common (e.g. e-commerce, portfolios, media galleries), AndroidImageSlider offers a ready-made, tested component that saves time and ensures consistency. -

FlowLayout
Android streaming layout, supports single selection
FlowLayout is an Android UI library that implements a “flow” or “tag cloud” layout where items automatically wrap onto new lines as needed, making it ideal for chips, product tags, and selectable labels. Instead of manually placing views, you feed data through an adapter-style API, so tags can be created dynamically from a list and refreshed when the dataset changes. The library supports selection behavior out of the box, including single-select and multi-select modes, so it can behave like a group of checkable chips without you building the state machinery from scratch. It also provides click and selection listeners that let you react when a user taps a tag or when the selected set changes, which is useful for filters and preference UIs. To keep the UI consistent, it can preserve selection state across activity recreation such as rotation, reducing edge-case bugs in real apps. -

Lottie
Render After Effects animations natively on Mobile, Web & React Native
Lottie is a wonderful library for Android, iOS, Web, and Windows that works by parsing Adobe After Effects animations that have been exported as json with Bodymovin, and then rendering these natively on mobile and on the web! Now you can have beautiful animations without engineers having to recreate everything by hand. Building animations by hand is time consuming, and other animation alternatives like Gifs and Png sequences don’t offer the same flexibility and varied features that Lottie offers. With Lottie, you can achieve exquisite animations exactly how you want, with no additional engineering effort whatsoever. Take a look at the many beautiful animation possibilities available to you on http://airbnb.io/lottie/ -

ShapeOfView
Give a custom shape to any android view, Material Design 2 ready
ShapeOfView is an Android library that lets developers render arbitrary shapes — not just rectangles — for any view. Rather than sticking to Android’s default rectangular layout for views, ShapeOfView allows you to “clip” or mask a view into a variety of shapes (circle, triangle, star, polygon, custom path, etc.), and optionally include shadows (when using elevation) — making it possible to build UI components that diverge from the standard boxy look. It supports both predefined shapes (round rects, circles, arcs, bubbles, triangles, stars, polygons, diagonals, cut corners) and fully custom shapes via clipping paths or drawables. Moreover, shapes can be animated (for example, corners gradually changing, or shape morphing), giving developers creative freedom for dynamic UI effects. This library helps in building expressive, modern UI designs aligned with modern design languages (e.g. Material 2 / custom).
