With this version of Android, Google started the "Developer Preview" program, which saw the new OS released in beta form months before the release. With the code name and version number now used as marketing tools, the final name was kept secret during the beta and referred to only by letter. At Google I/O 2014, Google announced the "Android L Developer Preview." @@ -54,7 +56,7 @@ The primary metaphor for Material Design is "paper and ink." All UI surfaces wer Anination was a big focus, too, with the idea that nothing should "pop" onto the screen. Components should slide in, shrink, or grow. The "paper" surfaces didn't quite work like real world paper, either they could shrink, expand, merge, and grow. To make the animation system work with image assets, shadows weren't baked into the UI widgets the way they were in previous versions—Google actually created a real-time, 3D shadowing system so that shadows would be correctly rendered during these animations and transitions. - ![An exaggerated side view of Lollipop's layered interface and the shadows it creates.](https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2014-07-10_21-56-05.jpg) + ![An exaggerated side view of Lollipop's layered interface and the shadows it creates.](https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2014-07-10_21-56-05.jpg)
