## What it is
An open-source Android library that back-ports fully animated Material Design UI components (buttons, switches, sliders, spinners, text fields, dialogs, snackbars) to pre-Lollipop Android versions. Written in Java by Rey Pham.

## Use cases

## When to choose
- you must support Android versions before Lollipop with Material Design look
