How to Get the Android 5.0 Lollipop Material Design Keyboard (With Pictures)

Hey guys! As you probably know already, Android 5.0 Lollipop is coming out soon (it's already out for HTC and LG devices), and I want to show you how you can get a really cool-looking keyboard easily! Let's get started-

Step 1: Install Google Keyboard

First, you have to install the Google Keyboard app. You can download it from the Play Store here. On your device, you might be using the (ugly) manufacturer's keyboard, which you need to switch out to get the nice-looking Lollipop themed keyboard. 

Step 2: Go to Settings

To use your new keyboard, you must first enable it in your device settings. Please note that this walkthrough is written according to my Moto G 1st gen, and that the settings layout is different on each android device. Go to Settings/Language and Input and find "Google Keyboard". Tap that weird abacus-thing button and go into "set up input methods". Make sure that the Google keyboard is the only one selected. Once this is set up, tap that weird button to the right again and your Google Keyboard settings will pop up. From there, just select "appearance and layouts" and choose between material light or material dark! Simple as that!

 I hope you guys enjoyed this "Tech Time with Josh" blog, and I hope to see you later on my future posts!
