I kind of agree with the sentiment that a few others are having. I've spent the past 4 months working on an Android project and when I opened this page I was in shock.

Everything looks so awesome and shiny - but where is the actual implementation? Is this stuff just a ICS theme (I haven't used it myself as our app is in 2.2 land)?

Others pointed out to check the "Developer" link - but that is just the standard Android docs I've been digging through for months already. Searching for things like "Index Scrolling" (which would be awesome to add to an app) or "Switches" doesn't return anything useful - so what are the Building Blocks and how do I get them into my app?

This page should either a) include demos (or links to the demos if they exist already) or b) be embedded in the code docs (android.widget.GridView should show the screenshot and UI guidelines).




I think by Index Scrolling it means to use the SectionIndexer interface: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Sectio...

It would be amazingly helpful if they would link from the 'Android Design' page to the docs exactly what they are talking about.
