Android native app design standards

Android native app design standards

Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) provide recommendations for designing apps for Apple's ecosystem. Material Design Guidelines serve a similar purpose for Android developers. These guidelines help ensure apps maintain a consistent look and behavior across the platform, aligning with Android’s unique design principles and native elements. By following these standards, developers can create apps that feel intuitive and familiar to Android users while supporting platform-specific features such as navigation patterns, typography, and touch target areas. Material Design also emphasizes accessibility, providing clear recommendations for touch sizes, color contrast, and typography to cater to diverse user needs.[1]
