I am trying to implement UI as the recent Lolipop need to know if it is possible and if I can do it with RecyclerView and CardView?
First of all, it's important to know that Android Lollipop uses Material Design , which is a set of design practices and patterns ( colors , icons , typography , animations , layouts , etc.). Therefore, if you follow these Material Design rules, your app will have a great UI.
And yes, it is possible (and recommended) to implement Material Design using Recycler Views and Card Views. Remember that if you're going to deploy Material Design on devices with a lower API than Lollipop, you'll need to use the library of adequate support . Here is an example of how to implement the Lollipop UI.
