We hope you liked our materialIt's a wrap_content! The third topic in the MAD Skills series of videos and articles on Modern Android Development is complete. This time around we covered Material Design Components (a.k.a MDC). This library provides the Material Components as Android widgets and makes it easy to implement design patterns seen on material.io, such as Material Theming, Dark Theme, and Motion. Check out the episodes and links below to see what we covered. We designed these videos to closely follow our recent series of MDC articles as well as existing sample apps and codelabs, so you've got a variety of ways to engage with the content. We also had a Q&A episode featuring engineers from the MDC team! Episode 1: Why use MDC? The first episode by Nick Butcher is an overview video of this entire MAD Skills series, including why we recommend MDC, then deep-dives on Material Theming, Dark Theme and Motion. It also covers MDC interop with Jetpack Compose and updates to Android Studio templates that include MDC and themes/styles best practices. https://medium.com/media/79d74fd1bad21a94fc28742b3402afd9/href Or in article form: We Recommend Material Design Components Episode 2: Material Theming Episode 2 by Nick Rout covers Material Theming and goes through a tutorial on how to implement it on Android using MDC. Key topics include setting up a Theme.MaterialComponents.* app theme, choosing color, type, and shape attributes -- using tools on material.io -- and finally adding them to your theme to see how widgets automatically react and adapt their UI. Also covered are handy utility classes that MDC provides for certain scenarios, like resolving theme color attributes and applying shape to images. https://medium.com/media/d41aaddc87de1854e840265d07ed1ad6/href Or in article form: Material Theming with MDC: Color Material Theming with MDC: Type Material Theming with MDC: Shape Episode 3: Dark Theme This episode by Chris Banes gets really dark...
