Compose beyond Material

Talkat droidcon London 2022 · 2022-10-27..10-28· [android, component-design]

Claim: you can drop Material UI and still implement a full design system by using Compose’s four main components and reusing the foundation package primitives. The talk shows concrete tools: basicText/basicTextField, layouts (Box/Row/Column), lazy lists, composition locals, indications and canvas. It builds a Duolingo‑style button by composing Box + clickable and a progress bar drawn on canvas using a canvas clipping trick to preserve rounded ends. Accessibility is one line of semantics and Material v3 is recommended as a reference.
