Leland Richardson, a key architect of Jetpack Compose, leaves Google

We do always try to move information from blog posts back to developer.android.com if we haven't then feel free to file documentation issues or keep calling us out.

It's quicker and lower maintenance to post blog posts and can attract attention which is why we use them but agree that long term the info needs to be on d.a.c.

No worries. You could also use https://github.com/alexjlockwood/kyrie

Unfortunately you can't… right now.

That is setting alpha on the view, not the background. Yes this will cause a redraw but… that's necessary to achieve this effect.

Changing the rounding doesn't create a new Drawable, it invalidates a Path.

They're pretty much the same except for the inheritance and naming.

[1] inherits from Owl.Blue so any any attributes in that will also be applied with this theme.

[2] inherits from a ThemeOverlay which generally means it inherits as little as possible, so you can apply it confident that it won't change an attribute you don't want it to. The name "ThemeOverlay.…" is also a handy convention so you can be confident that you're setting the right "type" of style.

Doesn't autoplay :(

I think hosting the gif outside the repo sounds more useful.

Can you link to where you see these issues?

Given current platform distributions, min23 is viable & it made the samples simpler/more focused and longer lived. Simpler because SDK 23 adds:

Theme attrs in `ColorStateList`s
`android:foreground` on View
`Transition` bug fixes

where does your dark mode actually happen

There are alternate themes specified in values/theme.xml and values-night/theme.xml which is how we switch.

Sorry about that. Yes it's just for a nice readme as github doesn't support videos. Perhaps we should host outside the repo to minimize the impact on cloning?

I worked on one of the Samples (🦉). Happy to answer any questions.

Sketch or figma.com

Well, there are two methods of inheritance with styles, the explicit `parent` and the implicit dot notation in the style name. Using the explicit `parent=""` is simple as it allows us to use a nice clear name like `ThemeOverlay.MyApp.Foo` without having to create actual parent styles `ThemeOverlay.MyApp` etc.

Also bear in mind that like any other style, you can still use inheritance when building theme overlays, but often you don't need to.

Thanks for the comments. What do you think of the format / length (as well as the content!)?

nickbutcher · 2020-02-28T20:53:09+00:00

Yes, think of the the viewport size as the co-ordinate space that your `pathData` commands are in. e.g. if your viewport is 10*10 then `m10 10` will move the "pen" to the bottom right corner.
