Exploring Material You for Jetpack Compose
Blog post from Stream
Material You is Google's new approach to Material Design, emphasizing personalization and flexibility through its dynamic color system, which allows applications to create color schemes based on a user's wallpaper, thus enabling a personalized experience on Android 12. Developers can now utilize the Compose Material 3 library, which offers updated components and APIs, including a new ColorScheme class for integrating these dynamic colors into apps. The integration process involves adapting the colors extracted by the system to fit the app's design, particularly for applications using Jetpack Compose. The Material Theme Builder further enhances customization by allowing developers to create and export custom Material Design 3 themes, supporting both Android Views and Jetpack Compose formats. While this dynamic theming approach provides a more personalized user interface, developers are encouraged to experiment and refine the color adaptation process to better align with their app's branding and user preferences.
