# 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

|
|

## Figma links
