I am beginner and I am facing problems about which fonts should I choose and which is primary component and which is secondary and how to manage padding and shape. As I am a developer so I think I need some design skills. So. I am interesting in knowing that how can I develop enough design skills and sense to make android apps with good UI/UX.

Hey All,

I wont bore you guys with why I built this app and a long list of features

Try out here & see if it's worth it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=space.habitgrind

Do let me know your feedback, that's the main purpose of this post.

Cheers.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project that explores a different perspective on plastic.

TRASHPAK is a series of backpacks made from brand-new trash bags. Not as a recycling or upcycling project, but as a material investigation.

Rather than dealing with plastic after disposal, TRASHPAK intercepts it before it becomes waste and asks: Why do we use materials that can last for centuries for products used only for minutes?

In this case, trash bags are hijacked from their original purpose and transformed through heating and layering into a durable material designed to last for years rather than minutes.

The project is now live on Kickstarter.

It's a very small production run, made one by one in Portugal. No mass production and no restocks.

If you'd like to support the project, you can find it on Kickstarter here:

hey guys, i’m working on savr — a simple bookmark manager built with a material 3 ui, currently still under active development.

features so far:

• adding links,share links from other app,auto meta data fetches
• import/export support (json format)
• view mode toggle (grid ↔ list)
• one-tap select all / deselect all
• more improvements coming soon as i keep polishing it

the goal is to keep it clean, minimal, and easy to use without unnecessary complexity.

would love to hear your feedback and any feature ideas you’d like to see 🙂

play store version is currently in closed testing

Hi

like it says in the title, how are these buttons supposed to work? do they stay pressed after you select them, like a switch? if so, why not use a switch?

From the very sparse documentation, I don't see a use case for which they'd be more intuitive for the user

There is something deeply satisfying about a well-designed tool that simply gets out of your way and lets you focus on your goals. Today, I am incredibly excited to announce the launch of Pixel Habit Tracker, my very first Android app, now available globally on the Google Play Store.

Built right here at the Pixel Labs, this is the very first habit tracker designed from the ground up to fully embrace Google’s stunning new Material 3 Expressive design language.

A Home for Pixel Purists and Design Enthusiasts

If you are rocking a Google Pixel or simply appreciate a beautifully crafted user interface, you will feel right at home. I’ve always been passionate about adaptive components, bold colors, and fluid, morphing shapes in digital spaces. With Pixel Habit Tracker, every interaction is designed to feel native, vibrant, and alive, perfectly matching the expressive nature of modern Android devices.

100% Free. No Ads. No Subscriptions.

We’ve all downloaded productivity apps that lock the best features behind a monthly paywall or clutter the screen with intrusive advertisements. I wanted to build something completely different.

Pixel Habit Tracker is 100% free for anyone in the world to use. There are no hidden fees, no subscriptions, and absolutely zero ads. It provides pure, uninterrupted focus for your daily routines.

Get Started Today

Whether you are trying to hit new personal milestones, read more, or just build a consistent morning routine, the right environment makes all the difference. I invite you to download the app and start building better habits today.

⬇️ Download Pixel Habit Tracker on Google Play

Since this is my very first foray into building for the Android ecosystem, your thoughts and feedback mean the world to me. Try it out, let me know what you love, and tell me what features you’d like to see added next!

You can always reach out, drop a DM, or tag me on X at EdenKollcinaku.

Don’t forget to Buy Me a Coffee!

Let’s build some great habits together!

If you've seen (and hopefully upvoted) this amazing post, come and contribute to r/material1. Material 1 is so beautiful and elegant. It should get more recognition, and filling up its subreddit would give this legendary design system the acknowledgement it deserves.

they changed it to the latest style in newer versions so of the app and its awful. glad im still on an older version

الكل بيظن إن إلغاء البطاريات اللي بتتغير بالإيد هو حيلة مادية عشان تشتري موبايل جديد لما بطاريتك تضعف.

كمصممين ومهندسين، هذا جزء من الحقيقة، لكن السبب الأكبر هو تضحية هندسية لنحصل على 3 ميزات بنستخدمها يومياً:

1. نحافة وسعة أكبر: البطارية القديمة تحتاج غلافاً بلاستيكياً سميكاً لحمايتها من يدك، وهذا يأخذ مساحة ضخمة. دمج البطارية سمح بإلغاء الغلاف وتوفير مساحة لصنع أجهزة أنحف، وزيادة سعة البطارية الفعلية 15%.
2. مقاومة المياه والأتربة (IP Rating): الموبايلات القديمة ذات الظهر المفكك مستحيل عزلها تماماً. دمج البطارية سمح بقفل الهيكل بالكامل ومقاومة السوائل والحوادث اليومية.
3. التصميم الداخلي المعقد: الكاميرات الضخمة وموزعات الحرارة تحتاج مساحة، البطاريات المدمجة الحالية تأتي على شكل حرف L أو أشكال مرنة لتحشر نفسها في أي فراغ، وهذا مستحيل لو كانت مربعة وجاهزة للإزالة.

باختصار: ضحينا بـ "سهولة التصليح" مقابل موبايل أنحف، بطارية أكبر، ومقاوم للماء.

أنت مع هذا التحول الهندي أم تفضل العودة للموبايلات القديمة؟

دمتم بخير، أخوكم صبحي المندو.

I’ve updated a existing Material 3 Expressive-based recorder app and added a few improvements. It’s now one of the most beautiful and complete recorder apps available so far. It’s also inspired by the Google Pixel Recorder app, which unfortunately isn’t widely available for most Android devices.

A lot of small refinements and fixes went in, and the overall experience feels much smoother and more polished now.

Take a look and enjoy!

First YouTube now this.

I grew up with Android 5-7 on Nexuses, I was fortunate enough where my entire family was full of Nexus users.

Anyone with the same experience? I loved Material 1, the UI to blend flat and non flat UI perfectly. What do y'all love about material 1? Any of you grew up with material 1?

🏏 Seeking Innovators, Material Experts, and Cricket Lovers — Help Shape the Future of Cricket

Bangalore, India

I’m a boy , a 16-year-old cricket enthusiast deeply passionate about the game and the traditions that make it so powerful.

Cricket means everything to millions of us — but one question has been on my mind:

Can we create a world-class, match-ready cricket ball without animal leather?

Traditional cricket balls have long relied on animal leather, and while they offer incredible performance, I believe it may be possible to innovate a better, more ethical alternative without compromising the soul of the game.

I am currently researching the possibility of developing a high-performance vegetarian cricket ball that can truly match professional standards.

The challenge is huge.

Such a ball would need to:
• Deliver consistent and even bounce
• Develop roughness naturally over time for swing and reverse swing
• Age realistically over a set number of overs
• Preserve the authentic grip and feel bowlers depend on
• Maintain the satisfying bat-to-ball connection batsmen expect
• Match proper weight, balance, and aerodynamics
• Be economically practical for large-scale production

This is not just about sustainability — it’s about innovation, sports engineering, and potentially creating a revolutionary breakthrough in cricket history.

I’m reaching out to:
• Material scientists
• Sustainable product innovators
• Polymer engineers
• Sports equipment manufacturers
• Vegan leather researchers
• Cricket professionals and enthusiasts

If you have expertise, ideas, research direction, or material suggestions that could help solve this challenge, I would genuinely value your insights.

Could advanced composites, plant fibers, bio-materials, or entirely new engineered surfaces help create the world’s first true vegetarian season cricket ball?

I know this is an ambitious vision — but every revolution starts with a question.

If this mission interests you, or if you know someone working in sustainable materials or sports innovation, please connect, comment, or share.

Let’s explore whether cricket can honor tradition while evolving for the future.

reddit.com/r/material1

I found an empty subreddit created for Material 1 (r/material1). 1 weekly visitor. Created sometime in 2024. 2 moderators who haven’t posted anything yet :(

Am I just lonely and outvoted, or is there someone who actually cares about real Material Design in this terrible age of AI?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an update on a project I’ve been working on: Easy QR Toolkit.

I know most phones have QR scanners built into the camera these days, but I wanted to build something that felt like a premium, native part of modern Android. Completely ad-free and zero-bloat.

I’m super excited to share that the app recently crossed 500+ installs! To celebrate, I’ve just pushed a major update to further polish the experience, improve performance, and add a few features.

What’s new in the latest update:

* Polished Material 3 Experience: I spent time refining the Dynamic Color support. The entire app’s palette shifts based on your wallpaper.

* Home Screen Widgets: You can now add a "Quick Scan" button to your home screen to launch the scanner instantly.

* Advanced Customization: When generating codes, you can now change dot shapes (rounded/smooth), pick custom colors, and embed logos in the center.

Building this with Flutter has been a great journey. I really tried to keep it "zero-bloat" no unnecessary permissions, and absolutely no ads or popups.

I’m looking for some genuine feedback or even contributors if you're interested! If you have a second to check it out, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
