How to implement Search Bar like gmail app in android?

I am trying to implement the Search functionality in my android app similar to latest gmail app (search icon in the action bar).

enter image description here

On tapping the Search icon, the action bar turns into a search field with a back button on the left side, and a microphone button on the right side. I want to have the same component in my app.

Is there any library or tutorial for this?

Is this possible to support this type of material design search in non-lollipop versions too. ?

Solution

  • This library to do this, the only thing it does not do is the ripples, but I expect you could implement them quite easily with other resources:
