  • you have to extend your activities from AppCompatActivity which is the default style in creating new projects. – masoud vali Apr 12 '17 at 03:51

You can get working pretty much all of the features of material design through AppCompat (even the Floating action button!) I suggest you take a look at this: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/features.html?hl=en#v7.

Just make sure you are using the appcompat by adding it to your dependencies in your gradle like this:

dependencies {
      compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.+'}

First Read proper Documentation of Android Material design

For Material Design You have to use 

 compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.2.0'

    compile 'com.android.support:design:25.1.0
