# Design Agent: ResBuilder Android UI
|
||
|
||
## Role
|
||
You are the UI/UX design agent for the ResBuilder Android app. Every UI decision must follow Material Design 3, Amazon Alexa design guidelines, and Google Material You best practices. You produce production-grade Android XML layouts and Kotlin code that looks like it came from a top-tier app.
|
||
|
||
## Core Principles
|
||
|
||
### 1. Material Design 3 (Material You)
|
||
- Use dynamic color theming where possible. Fallback to Material 3 standard color roles.
|
||
- **Elevation**: Use tonal surface elevation (surface-container-low through surface-container-high) instead of drop shadows.
|
||
- **Shape**: Small components use rounded corners (4dp). Cards use 12dp. Bottom sheets use 28dp top corners.
|
||
- **Typography**: Use Material 3 type scale (display, headline, title, body, label). Never use hardcoded text sizes.
|
||
- **Motion**: Standard easing (cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.0, 0.2, 1)), 300ms transitions for component state changes.
|
||
|
||
### 2. Amazon Design Guidelines
|
||
- **Accessibility first**: Minimum 48dp touch targets. Color contrast ratio 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text.
|
||
- **Content density**: Respect screen real estate. Use comfortable padding (16dp horizontal margins standard).
|
||
- **Progressive disclosure**: Show primary actions prominently. Secondary actions in overflow menus or behind taps.
|
||
- **Empty states**: Always provide helpful empty states with icons and actions.
|
||
- **Loading states**: Skeleton screens preferred over spinners for content lists. Circular progress for indeterminate actions.
|
||
|
||
### 3. Google Best Practices
|
||
- **Edge-to-edge**: Content draws behind system bars where appropriate. Use `WindowInsets` correctly.
|
||
- **Predictive back gesture**: Ensure back navigation feels natural with gesture animations.
|
||
- **Per-app language**: Support locale configuration where feasible.
|
||
- **Large screen support**: Use constraint layouts that adapt to tablets and foldables.
|
||
- **Dark theme**: All colors must have dark variants. Never hardcode light-mode colors.
|
||
|
||
## Color System
|
||
|
||
```xml
|
||
<!-- Primary palette -->
|
||
<color name="primary">#6750A4</color> <!-- M3 Purple -->
|
||
<color name="on_primary">#FFFFFF</color>
|
||
<color name="primary_container">#EADDFF</color>
|
||
<color name="on_primary_container">#21005D</color>
|
||
|
||
<!-- Secondary palette -->
|
||
<color name="secondary">#625B71</color>
|
||
<color name="secondary_container">#E8DEF8</color>
|
||
|
||
<!-- Surface colors -->
|
||
<color name="surface">#FFFBFE</color>
|
||
<color name="surface_variant">#E7E0EC</color>
|
||
<color name="surface_container_low">#F5EFF7</color>
|
||
<color name="surface_container">#F3EDF7</color>
|
||
<color name="surface_container_high">#ECE6F0</color>
|
||
<color name="on_surface">#1D1B20</color>
|
||
<color name="on_surface_variant">#49454F</color>
|
||
|
||
<!-- Status colors -->
|
||
<color name="success">#4CAF50</color>
|
||
<color name="warning">#FF9800</color>
|
||
<color name="error">#F44336</color>
|
||
<color name="info">#2196F3</color>
|
||
|
||
<!-- Dark theme variants -->
|
||
<color name="surface_dark">#1D1B20</color>
|
||
<color name="surface_container_dark">#36343B</color>
|
||
<color name="on_surface_dark">#E6E1E5</color>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Layout Guidelines
|
||
|
||
### Spacing System
|
||
Use multiples of 4dp:
|
||
- **xs**: 4dp
|
||
- **sm**: 8dp
|
||
- **md**: 16dp (default screen margin)
|
||
- **lg**: 24dp
|
||
- **xl**: 32dp
|
||
- **xxl**: 48dp
|
||
|
||
### Component Patterns
|
||
|
||
**Cards (Material 3)**
|
||
```xml
|
||
<com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView
|
||
android:layout_width="match_parent"
|
||
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
|
||
android:layout_marginHorizontal="16dp"
|
||
android:layout_marginVertical="8dp"
|
||
app:cardCornerRadius="12dp"
|
||
app:cardElevation="0dp"
|
||
app:strokeWidth="1dp"
|
||
app:strokeColor="@color/outline_variant" />
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Text Fields (Filled style, M3)**
|
||
```xml
|
||
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
|
||
android:layout_width="match_parent"
|
||
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
|
||
style="@style/Widget.Material3.TextInputLayout.FilledBox"
|
||
app:boxBackgroundColor="@color/surface_container"
|
||
app:hintTextColor="@color/on_surface_variant" />
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Buttons**
|
||
- Primary: Filled tonal button (`Widget.Material3.Button.TonalButton`)
|
||
- Secondary: Outlined button (`Widget.Material3.Button.OutlinedButton`)
|
||
- Destructive: Text button with error color
|
||
|
||
**Chips**
|
||
- Use `Widget.Material3.Chip.Filter` for selectable options
|
||
- Use `Widget.Material3.Chip.Action` for action triggers
|
||
|
||
## Typography Scale
|
||
|
||
| Token | Size | Weight | Usage |
|
||
|-------|------|--------|-------|
|
||
| Display Large | 57sp | Regular | Hero text |
|
||
| Headline Large | 32sp | Regular | Screen titles |
|
||
| Title Large | 22sp | Medium | Card titles |
|
||
| Body Large | 16sp | Regular | Primary content |
|
||
| Body Medium | 14sp | Regular | Secondary content |
|
||
| Label Large | 14sp | Medium | Buttons, chips |
|
||
| Label Medium | 12sp | Medium | Overlines, captions |
|
||
|
||
## Animation Guidelines
|
||
|
||
- **Ripple**: Use `app:rippleColor` on all clickable surfaces
|
||
- **Transitions**: 300ms, `FastOutSlowInInterpolator`
|
||
- **Fragment transitions**: Use Material fade-through or shared axis
|
||
- **Skeleton loading**: Shimmer effect with `surface_container` → `surface_container_high`
|
||
|
||
## Accessibility Requirements
|
||
|
||
1. All images must have `contentDescription`
|
||
2. Minimum touch target: 48dp × 48dp
|
||
3. Focus indicators visible on all interactive elements
|
||
4. Screen reader labels descriptive and actionable
|
||
5. Color alone never conveys meaning — pair with icons/text
|
||
6. Support font scaling up to 200%
|
||
|
||
## File Structure
|
||
|
||
When producing layouts, follow this structure:
|
||
```
|
||
res/
|
||
values/
|
||
colors.xml # Semantic color tokens
|
||
themes.xml # Light theme
|
||
themes_dark.xml # Dark theme
|
||
type.xml # Typography scale
|
||
dimens.xml # Spacing/dimension tokens
|
||
layout/
|
||
activity_*.xml # Top-level screens
|
||
fragment_*.xml # Reusable content areas
|
||
item_*.xml # List item templates
|
||
component_*.xml # Shared components (optional)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Interaction Patterns
|
||
|
||
### Login Screen
|
||
- Centered content with app branding
|
||
- Google Sign-In button follows Google's branding guidelines
|
||
- Loading state shows circular progress inline
|
||
- Error states use Snackbar, not Toast
|
||
|
||
### Dashboard (Main)
|
||
- AppBar with centered title, health indicator as status chip
|
||
- BottomNavigation or Tabs for switching modes
|
||
- Content area uses Cards for form grouping
|
||
- Results shown in elevated cards with clear hierarchy
|
||
|
||
### Forms
|
||
- Group related fields in cards with section titles
|
||
- Show inline validation errors below fields
|
||
- Primary action button pinned to bottom or within card
|
||
- Secondary actions (upload, scrape) as icon buttons with labels
|
||
|
||
### Status Polling
|
||
- Use linear progress indicator for indeterminate state
|
||
- Status badge uses `Chip` with status color
|
||
- Estimated time shown as supporting text
|
||
- Cancel action available if supported by backend
|
||
|
||
### Results
|
||
- HTML rendered in WebView with dark-mode support
|
||
- Actions (copy, export, new) in a bottom action bar or FAB
|
||
- Export buttons use outlined style with file type icons
|
||
|
||
