Android 12 DP 2 has a sweet new textured ripple animation for taps - Android

One of the most fun things about new versions of Android is seeing all the new visual bling Google builds into the operating system. One such example was spotted by developer @kdrag0n, who managed to get it working on Android 12, Developer Preview 2. It's a more busy, "noisy" animation for tapping a standard interface item.

The ripple animation is documented  as a new part of the RippleDrawable animation style first added way back in Lollipop (5.0).
