Apps Are components like bottom sheets, nav drawers off the shelf from a library?

[Rhya]

Hey guys,

I’m from a design background so just wondering about a few dev implications. When it comes to Android Dev, do you get all the components like bottom sheets, toolbars, snackbars and buttons ect.. off the shelf from a library? Pretty much everything from the Material Design component list.

Thanks.

Most of the components you'll want to use are in the Android framework UI libraries. Sometimes you need something that isn't provided, and if you're lucky, someone has developed it for you. The main one for me was a draggable ListView - I wished to allow users to dynamically move the order of items in the list. Fortunately some kind person had developed the standard ListView to do just that, and I used it in my project. That's the great thing about open source, the community can support it and make it better.
