Material Witness Compat

A Google I/O 2014 demo written by Romain Guy ported to work on all versions of the platform back to Android 2.3.3 (API Level 10).

The original Material Witness is a sample application for the new Material Design APIs introduced in the Android L Preview SDK. Most of the features have been backported and include:

Dynamic palette using the palette support library
Circular reveal using the blog post by Romain Guy using bitmap shaders
Activity transitions using the DevByte from Chet Haase on custom activity animations
Path tracing using the blog post by Romain Guy using path effects

Features that couldn't be backported include:

Custom theme colors. Whatever is allowed by the the v7 appcompat library has been implemented
Ripple drawables

The complete video of the Google I/O 2014 talk detailing how the original application works can be found on YouTube.
