- FloatingActionButton - A very simple Floating Action Button. Has show- and hide animations but is very simple.
- NavigationDrawer - Material Design compliant Navigation Drawer. See NavigationView Example for detailed instructions.
- BottomNavigationView - Material Design compliant Bottom Navigation View. See BottomNavigationView Example for detailed instructions.

- Install/Update Android Support Packages with the SDK Manager.
- Setup your project like a project that uses AppCompat library.
