# 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
- click on an item on Figma
- dimensions of the item will be displayed.
- move the mouse to other items to get relative positioning, margin, etc.
### Icons
#### Export drawable from Figma
- click on the element to export
- ensure that the correct layer is selected. Sometimes the parent layer has to be selected on the left panel
- on the right panel, click on "export"
- select SVG

- you can check the preview of what will be exported
- click on "export" and save the file locally
- unzip the file if necessary
It's also possible for any icon to go to the main component by right-clicking on the icon.
#### Import in Android Studio
- right click on the drawable folder where the drawable will be created
- click on "New"/"Vector Asset"
- select the exported file
- update the filename if necessary
- click on "Next" and click on "Finish"
- open the created vector drawable
- optionally update the color(s) to "#FF0000" (red) to ensure that the drawable is correctly tinted at runtime.
## Figma links
Figma links can be included in the layout, for future reference, but it is also OK to add a paragraph below here, to centralize the information
Main entry point: https://www.figma.com/files/project/5612863/Element?fuid=779371459522484071
Note: all the Figma links are not publicly available.
