Xiaomi, Samsung, OnePlus and more will implement Material You

With Material You, personalization is now a defining trait of Android that our ecosystem will continue building on for years to come. We want to make sure that you, our developers, have the confidence to join us on the journey and bring a more personal look and feel to users through your apps.

As more Android 12 devices land in the next couple months, our OEM partners are working with us to ensure that key design APIs; especially around dynamic color, work consistently across the Android ecosystem; so developers can have peace of mind and users can benefit from a cohesive experience.

To better help you understand how to implement dynamic color and fit it into your overall brand story; the Material team has published the comprehensive Customizing Material article; with codelabs and guides to get started with Views or Jetpack Compose. Watch for ongoing updates to Material Theme Builder and Material Color Utilities in the coming months; to provide you with the tools you need for design and implementation.

Google apps (Gmail, Photos, Chrome, and many more) have used the very same tools and guidance; to bring the color story to life on their branded experiences; and we’re excited for you to hop on board as well. As you learn more about how color can harmonize with user choice and work with dynamic color in your app; we’d love to get your feedback via the Material Android issue tracker.
