<p>Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) marks a major milestone for Android design. We touched nearly every
|
|
pixel of the system as we expanded the new design approaches introduced in Honeycomb tablets to all
|
|
types of mobile devices. Starting with the most basic elements, we introduced a new font, Roboto,
|
|
designed for high-resolution displays. Other big changes include framework-level action bars on
|
|
phones and support for new phones without physical buttons.</p>
|
|
<p>We focused the design work with three overarching goals for our core apps and the system at large.
|
|
As you design apps to work with Android, consider these goals:</p>

<h4>Enchant me</h4>
|
|
<p>Beauty is more than skin deep. Android apps are sleek and aesthetically pleasing on multiple levels.
|
|
Transitions are fast and clear; layout and typography are crisp and meaningful. App icons are works
|
|
of art in their own right. Just like a well-made tool, your app should strive to combine beauty,
|
|
simplicity and purpose to create a magical experience that is effortless and powerful.</p>

<h4>Simplify my life</h4>
|
|
<p>Android apps make life easier and are easy to understand. When people use your app for the first
|
|
time, they should intuitively grasp the most important features. The design work doesn't stop at the
|
|
first use, though. Android apps remove ongoing chores like file management and syncing. Simple tasks
|
|
never require complex procedures, and complex tasks are tailored to the human hand and mind. People
|
|
of all ages and cultures feel firmly in control, and are never overwhelmed by too many choices or
|
|
irrelevant flash.</p>

<h4>Make me amazing</h4>
|
|
<p>It's not enough to make an app that is easy to use. Android apps empower people to try new things
|
|
and to use apps in inventive new ways. Android lets people combine applications into new workflows
|
|
through multitasking, notifications, and sharing across apps. At the same time, your app should feel
|
|
personal, giving people access to superb technology with clarity and grace.</p>
