## 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.
|
|
|
|
### Images
|
|
|
|
Android 4.3 (18+) fully supports the WebP image format which can often provide smaller image sizes without drastically impacting image quality (depending on the output encoding quality).
|
|
When importing non vector images, WebP is the preferred format.
|
|
|
|
Images can be converted to the WebP within Android Studio by
|
|
- right clicking the image file within the project file explorer
|
|
- select `Convert to WebP`
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 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.
