Android UI Components and Material Design in Practice
Material Design defines a baseline for Android UI, but real apps push beyond it constantly. This library captures how leading Android apps implement components — from straight-by-the-book Material patterns to heavily customized variations like you'd see in Instagram, TikTok, or Snapchat.
Each Element Shown in Its Full Flow
Each element category is populated with real examples, tagged by brand. See how Duolingo handles its form inputs, how Strava structures its bottom sheets, how Uber designs its progress indicators. Because every element appears inside its full flow, you can understand not just what it looks like, but when and why it's used.
A Reference Library for Android Teams
For teams building an Android app or a design system, this saves weeks of manual research. For individual designers evaluating a new pattern, it's a live reference library of current production Android design.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Android UI elements are documented?
The library covers bottom sheets, date pickers, form inputs, multi-selects, tooltips, tabs, snackbars, FABs, dialogs, navigation drawers, chips, and many more Android-specific components.
Do examples follow Material Design or custom systems?
Both. You'll find strict Material implementations alongside heavily customized versions, so you can choose the right reference for your design approach.
How do I find Material Design 3 (Material You) examples?
Look for newer app recordings — most top apps have adopted Material Design 3 patterns, and these are well represented across the elements library.
Are Android element patterns different from iOS ones?
Yes, substantially. Many components (bottom sheets, snackbars, navigation drawers) have distinct Android behaviors that don't translate from iOS, which is why we document them separately.
