Android Studio: Add an activity to mobile (Material design)

Question

I have a question about theme for Android app in Android Studio. When I'm creating a new project I would like to have an material design theme, but I don't get this activity theme to choose.

On first picture you can see my view for adding an activity and on second picture what I would like to have.

My current view

Material design view

Does anyone have a solution how to set up Android Studio so I can have a view which is showed on second picture?

Answer 1

I don' t know if my as show that in the wizard. Bit materiale is a style. And this style is a guide line recommend by google. So you can make your app with material design also writing the code. For example you can use a floating action button, or a combo of beautiful color or pit simple animations inside yours views or using cards in listview.

Answer 2

If you have latest updated Android API, SDK , then you will get the material design by default; even if you would not use wizard for adding an activity.

Answer 3

Not sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree here, but just for reference, here are the Android SDK components I've got installed:

Here is the buildscript, android and dependency sections of my build.gradle:

And last but not least, Android Studio version:

Answer 4

If you couldn't find the tool fix, you can anyway inherit your activity from appcompactactivity. 
And change your androidmanifest as follows to get material design feel
 <application
       //your stuff
        android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" 

Don't forget to add the following depenency in build.gradle and sync

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'

Answer 5

I found the answer to this question.

To have this Project Template (Material design) available in Project Wizard, you need to have Android Studio version 1.4 or above.
