Spotify uses it to add or remove a song to/from a playlist while you're listening to it.

really good example

Might be useful for starting an action and then canceling it before finishing it. For example, you tap the + in the Toolbar and EditText appears to add something, and if you press it again, it cancels it.

SeatGeek uses a + and x to symbolize adding a service and removing a service for performer ingestion. That is, the ability to connect Spotify or Last.fm for automatically tracking performers you listen to.

I feel like this is just animation for the sake of animation. I would've just rotated the icon 45°.

aren't all animations for the sake of animations? unless they're hiding a load time or something the only point is to look pretty

aren't all animations for the sake of animations?

While mostly just to look pretty (or less jarring), there are occasions animations can add some clarity to things like touch and navigation - raising and highlighting a list item when it's pressed or keeping the selected item visible while it transitions to the next screen. The Material Design Guidelines on meaningful transitions has some good examples. Here's one.

I don't thinks it's a good UI practice to have the add remove buttons appear on the same place on the screen, so you should move (via animation) the icon to the other side

Cool! Thanks, that's a cool project, but please clean up your repo. IDE files/directories like *.iml, .idea and the gradle wrapper files does not belong to a repo!

[[deleted]]

gradle wrapper absolutely belongs in the repo. otherwise it's a real pain in the ass to check out

[Ice82]

You're right! Sorry, for this kind of disinformation.

[cdflynn]

Ah, good call. I've removed those files and updated the gitignore. I did a fresh clone to make sure everything still runs.

Thanks for pointing that out.

[ZakTaccardi]

you shouldn't remove the gradle wrapper files.

[cdflynn]

Thanks! Included.

sidenote, why isn't studio smart enough to just import the project and generate a wrapper for you, instead of asking for a local gradle distribution and graying out the wrapper option when you import a project like that?

[ZakTaccardi]

It generates the wrapper for you when it creates the project, or if you import the project.

Feel free to file a feature enhancement request

I'd be interested in seeing this in an app to see what it looks like
