       <dd>

        <ul>

           <li>Added <code>OnScrollChangedListener</code> interface support to the

            <code>NestedScrollView</code> widget. It

            allows you to receive callbacks when the scroll X or Y positions change.</li>

          <li>Added a <code>MediaButtonReceiver</code> class to forward received playback controls

            to a service that’s managing the <code>MediaSessionCompat</code> class. The

            <code>MediaSessionCompat</code> class has a

            constructor that can automatically find a media button receiver in the manifest. A

            media button receiver is a key part to <a href=

          "http://developer.android.com/training/managing-audio/volume-playback.html#PlaybackControls">handling

          playback controls</a> from hardware or bluetooth controls.</li>

       <dd>

        <ul>

          <li>Added material design <code>Seekbar</code> and <code>ImageButton</code> widgets.</li>

          <li>Updated the <code>ImageView</code> widget to support the tint feature.</li>

          <li>Updated the look-and-feel of the <code>SwitchCompat</code> widget.</li>

        <ul>

          <li>Displays a loading page while discovering media route providers.</li>

          <li>Includes a device type icon for easier device identification.</li>

        </ul>

        <ul>

        <li>Added the following features to the <code>MediaRouteControllerDialog</code> class:</li>

           <li>Recognizes screen casting and provides a proper description.</li>

           <li>Supports various album art sizes and aspect ratios, and loads the art asynchronously.</li>

           <li>Automatically selects the content color based on the primary color of the app.</li>

           <li>Adjusts the dialog layout based on available screen space on the device.</li>

       <dd>

        <ul>

          <li>Added the <code>setRegion()</code> method to support extracting color from a specific

            region of a <code>Bitmap</code> object.</li>

         </ul>

       </dd>

       <dd>

        <ul>

        <li>Added an improved animation API to the <code>ItemAnimator</code> class for better

          customizations:</li>

           <ul>

           <li>Change animations no longer enforce two copies of the <code>ViewHolder</code> object,

            which enables item content animations. Also, the <code>ItemAnimator</code> object

            decides whether it wants to reuse the same <code>ViewHolder</code> object or create a

            new one.</li>

           <li>The new information record API gives the <code>ItemAnimator</code> class the flexibility

            to collect data at the correct point in the layout lifecycle. This information is later

            passed into the animate callbacks.</li>

            </ul>

         </ul>

          <ul>

          <li>Provided an easy transition plan for this backward-incompatible API change:</li>

           <ul>

           <li>If you’ve previously extended the <code>ItemAnimator</code> class, you can change

            your base class to <code>SimpleItemAnimator</code> and your code should work as before.

            The <code>SimpleItemAnimator</code> class provides the old API by wrapping the new API.</li>

           <li>Some methods were removed from the <code>ItemAnimator</code> class. The following

            code will no longer compile:</li>

           <pre>recyclerView.getItemAnimator().setSupportsChangeAnimations(false)</pre>

           <p>You can replace it with:</p>

           <pre>

ItemAnimator animator = recyclerView.getItemAnimator();

if (animator instanceof SimpleItemAnimator) {

   ((SimpleItemAnimator) animator).setSupportsChangeAnimations(false);

}

            transitions.</li>

            class.</li>

          character counting</a> support to the <code>TextInputLayout</code> widget.</li>

            <code>SCROLL_FLAG_SNAP</code> constant. When scrolling ends, if the view is only

            partially visible, the view is snapped and scrolled to its closest edge.</li>

          <li>Added support for custom views to the <code>NavigationView</code> class by using the

            <code>app:actionLayout</code> attribute or <code>MenuItemCompat.setActionView()</code>

            method.</li>

         </ul>

       </dd>





     <dt>Changes for <a href="features.html#custom-tabs">Custom Tabs Support library:</a></dt>

      <dd>

        <ul>

          <li>Added the <code>enableUrlBarHiding()</code> method to the <code>CustomTabsIntent</code>

            class. It lets the client customize whether the URL bar should be hidden automatically

            on scroll down.</li>

          <li>Added the <code>setActionButton()</code> method to the <code>CustomTabsSession</code>

            class. It lets the client

            change the icon for a custom action button in an already launched custom tab.</li>

          <li>Added the <code>TAB_SHOWN</code> and <code>TAB_HIDDEN</code> constants as new events

            for the <code>onNavigationEvent</code> method of the <code>CustomTabsCallback</code>

            class.</li>
