At the recent Google I/O conference, Google introduced a number of significant improvements to its Android platform. Most notably, the original Material Design, introduced in 2014, gets a major overhaul, Jetpack Compose gets closer to 1.0, and Android Studio improves productivity.

Material You attempts to bring Android UI design paradigm up-to-date with the current mobile landscape, which requires growing flexibility and customazibility.

The challenge today has broadened. Computing continues to grow with more screens appearing in more areas of our lives. Also, users are demanding more expressiveness and control over their personal devices. They’re seeking experiences that are more than just practical and functional—experiences that also evoke emotion.

One of the key features of Material You is its promise to adapt to each user’s style and preference by customizing the color palette used by apps based on a wallpaper selection. Google is confident of its capacity to automatically tailor any app’s style for any user’s palette preference.

Material You also aims to make is easier for developers to adapt to different form factors, screen sizes, input modalities, and all hardware variations that are found from desktop to mobile to wearable contexts. Related to this, Material You also focuses on improving accessibility by extending the possibilities for users to customize the UI and tailor it to their needs.
