Material Design App

[ghost]

Describe the desired feature

My request is regarding implementation of material design in app inventor.

How it different from current MIT App Them

Dark Theme

Classic Theme

Newly Implemented Material Design Theme

Device Default with dark title text

Device Default

How to use ?

We can add option of material theme in screen property block where other theme option is available like classic, device-default.. If user select material them then whole app convert into material theme.

Why doesn't the current App Inventor system address this use case?

UI design is one of important part of application development and material design is one the best UI design language in world.

Why is this feature beneficial to App Inventor's educational mission?

MIT App Inventor is one of the best platform of drag and drop mobile app creator but currently app's created with app inventor is not supported material theme, so i want to contribute it.

@Preet-Vadaliya I'm not sure I understand what you are requesting here. On devices running Android 5+, the device default theme is Material UI. We use the appcompat themes, which will ensure that at each Android version the app will get the same theme as other apps on the device. We only default to Classic theme for backwards compatibility reasons.
