Carbon

Material Design implementation for Android 4.0 and newer. This is not the exact copy of the Lollipop's API and features. It's a custom implementation of the most useful things as shown in the design specification. Carbon tries to:

make things easier (specify cornerRadius='dp' instead of creating an xml and/or a ViewOutlineProvider)
make it all work and look the same on all APIs (like CheckBox's left padding)
really backport features (don't use gradients for shadows!)
fix Android's everlasting bugs (FrameLayout ignores child's padding when no gravity is set)

Features

Android 4.x

generated, animated shadows with elevation system
the touch ripple
rounded corners with content clipping
circular reveal
theme xml attribute
widget and drawable tinting

All APIs

simple to use xml attributes for corners and ripples

async-expandable-list

async-expandable-list contains 2 View classes: CollectionView and AsyncExpandableListView.

AsyncExpandableListView displays a list of headers and loads a sub-list under a header when a header item is clicked. The loading of sub-items can be done asynchronously and there are callbacks to populate the data into the list when it's done loading.

Flatbuffers vs Gson Parsing Demo

This is a demo project on Flatbuffers. Flatbuffers is an android parsing library which is much faster then GSON.

This project explains how to setup flatbuffers and use them to serialize and deserialize the models.

Uglyfier for Android

Gradle script for downsizing graphical assets in development builds

Usually you don't care how big the deployed APK is. However, if you are using metered connection and remote ADB, it would be good idea to build possibly smallest APK file.

Uglyfier for Android is a gradle script which will shrink all image resources in your application during build. It will look ugly, but image files will be 10 times smaller. Ninepatch (9-patch) PNGs are fully supported, with transparency preserved!
