# Element Android design

## Introduction

Design at element.io is done using Figma - https://www.figma.com

## How to import from Figma to the Element Android project

Integration should be done using the Android development best practice, and should follow the existing convention in the code.

### Colors

Element Android already contains all the colors which can be used by the designer, in the module `ui-style`.
Some of them depend on the theme, so ensure to use theme attributes and not colors directly.

### Text

 - click on a text on Figma
 - on the right panel, information about the style and colors are displayed
 - in Element Android, text style are already defined, generally you should not create new style
 - apply the style and the color to the layout

### Dimension, position and margin

 - click on an item on Figma
 - dimensions of the item will be displayed.
 - move the mouse to other items to get relative positioning, margin, etc.

### Icons

#### Export drawable from Figma

 - click on the element to export
 - ensure that the correct layer is selected. Sometimes the parent layer has to be selected on the left panel
 - on the right panel, click on "export"
 - select SVG
 - you can check the preview of what will be exported
 - click on "export" and save the file locally
 - unzip the file if necessary

It's also possible for any icon to go to the main component by right-clicking on the icon.

#### Import in Android Studio

 - right click on the drawable folder where the drawable will be created
 - click on "New"/"Vector Asset"
 - select the exported file
 - update the filename if necessary
 - click on "Next" and click on "Finish"
 - open the created vector drawable
 - optionally update the color(s) to "#FF0000" (red) to ensure that the drawable is correctly tinted at runtime.

## Figma links

Figma links can be included in the layout, for future reference, but it is also OK to add a paragraph below here, to centralize the information

Main entry point: https://www.figma.com/files/project/5612863/Element?fuid=779371459522484071

Note: all the Figma links are not publicly available.

### Coumpound

Coumpound contains the theme of the application, with all the components, in Light and Dark theme: palette (colors), typography, iconography, etc.
