The components in the Android UI kit all follow the design and feel of Material Design 3, making for an easy design process. As one of the most adaptable and customizable versions of Material Design ever, this UI kit is all about making things easy while allowing you plenty of margin to create something unique.
Part of the beauty of Material Design is the philosophy of mimicking the feel of real-world physical things. With a clever use of shadowing and beautifully communicative element states, the Android UI kit adds a realistic look to any mobile app. As Google UX designer Roma Shah put it:
Paper lends itself well to certain shapes such as squares and circles…[although] unlike real paper, this material can split, heal and rearrange itself when it needs to.
All the details, from the structure of components, dimensions to spacing, are all reflective of the Android aesthetic. It’s practical, requiring minimal adaptation for a speedy design process.
The Android UI kit has a specific approach to navigation components: making them as intuitive as possible. In practical terms, this means that it’s easy to create functional and enjoyable navigation in your next UX design project. It also means that even if you have very limited experience with Justinmind, you can still put together an Android app design pretty easily.
Our Android UI kit boasts a complete user interface library with advanced widgets and components. Each element and component is always up-to-date with the latest web and app design trends.
The simple aesthetic design of our Android UI kit stems from the constant uptrend in mobile browsing. It comes from the need to have websites readily viewable on mobile platforms without sacrificing design, in addition to the need to be able to switch between mobile platforms of varying resolutions.
One of the best things about the Android UI kit is that all elements come with pre-built basic feedback. That means that dropdown menus open, hamburger menus expand, toggle switches move and buttons already have button states. That way, you don’t need to sweat the small stuff and can enjoy the creative experience of building your design!
The whole kit has been divided into a simple list of categories so that you can find the right ingredients for your Material Design app quickly. Below is a list of those categories and what they include:
Elements that can contain content and actions that separate different topics. In this category, the templates range from small to large. Enjoy them with images, icons or action buttons.
Simple one and two-line banners with generic dialogs including error messages and other generic dialog boxes, ready for anything you need.
Contains a selection of input forms, floating labels, the typical sliders, spinners seen in many Google apps as well as various Gboard layouts.
Groups together all the latest menu designs, search headers and actions bars with the typical Google menu icons such as “like”, “download”, “share” and many more in addition to menu and floating actions button combinations.
Every type of floating action, checkbox and action chips you might need, all with the latest design features – a particularly effective means of guiding the user’s focus is the use of the floating action button, uniquely characteristic of Material Design and which deploys shadowing to give flat interfaces an added sense of depth.
Blocks of several components that are frequently used together, ready to be placed on a screen. All elements come with pre-built basic interactions, just like the individual loose components.
Commonly used for filters in searches or to act as an input field. Users can use them to enter information, make selections, filter content, or trigger actions.
Lists all the various possible tablet components that may differ from a cell phone device such as navigation bars and titles.
Our Android UI kit now also comes with icons! In a single Android UI kit, you now have access to an impressive 350+ icons, which cover everything from social media to clocks and email. Each icon comes in two styles: filled in and outlined. The individual icons come in both scalable SVGs as well as paths.
That icons are also paths means that they can be adapted and customized at will. And not just changing their color or size! You can redesign any icon to suit your idea, changing as much about it as necessary.
