# Android Platform Design Guidelines — Material Design 3

## 1. Material You & Theming [CRITICAL]

### 1.1 Dynamic Color

Enable dynamic color derived from the user's wallpaper. Dynamic color is the default on Android 12+ and should be the primary theming strategy.

```kotlin
// Compose: Dynamic color theme
@Composable
fun AppTheme(
    darkTheme: Boolean = isSystemInDarkTheme(),
    dynamicColor: Boolean = true,
    content: @Composable () -> Unit
) {
    val colorScheme = when {
        dynamicColor && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S -> {
            val context = LocalContext.current
            if (darkTheme) dynamicDarkColorScheme(context)
            else dynamicLightColorScheme(context)
        }
        darkTheme -> darkColorScheme()
        else -> lightColorScheme()
    }
    MaterialTheme(
        colorScheme = colorScheme,
        typography = AppTypography,
        content = content
    )
}
```

```xml
<!-- XML: Dynamic color in themes.xml -->
<style name="Theme.App" parent="Theme.Material3.DayNight.NoActionBar">
    <item name="dynamicColorThemeOverlay">@style/ThemeOverlay.Material3.DynamicColors.DayNight</item>
</style>
```

**Rules:**
- R1.1: Always provide a fallback static color scheme for devices below Android 12.
- R1.2: Never hardcode color hex values in components. Always reference color roles from the theme.
- R1.3: Test with at least 3 different wallpapers to verify dynamic color harmony.

### 1.2 Color Roles

Material 3 defines a structured set of color roles. Use them semantically, not aesthetically.

| Role | Usage | On-Role |
|------|-------|---------|
| `primary` | Key actions, active states, FAB | `onPrimary` |
| `primaryContainer` | Less prominent primary elements | `onPrimaryContainer` |
| `secondary` | Supporting UI, filter chips | `onSecondary` |
| `secondaryContainer` | Navigation bar active indicator | `onSecondaryContainer` |
| `tertiary` | Accent, contrast, complementary | `onTertiary` |
| `tertiaryContainer` | Input fields, less prominent accents | `onTertiaryContainer` |
| `surface` | Backgrounds, cards, sheets | `onSurface` |
| `surfaceVariant` | Decorative elements, dividers | `onSurfaceVariant` |
| `error` | Error states, destructive actions | `onError` |
| `errorContainer` | Error backgrounds | `onErrorContainer` |
| `outline` | Borders, dividers | — |
| `outlineVariant` | Subtle borders | — |
| `inverseSurface` | Snackbar background | `inverseOnSurface` |

```kotlin
// Correct: semantic color roles
Text(
    text = "Error message",
    color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.error
)
Surface(color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.errorContainer) {
    Text(text = "Error detail", color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.onErrorContainer)
}

// WRONG: hardcoded colors
Text(text = "Error", color = Color(0xFFB00020)) // Anti-pattern
```

**Rules:**
- R1.4: Every foreground element must use the matching `on` color role for its background (e.g., `onPrimary` text on `primary` background).
- R1.5: Use `surface` and its variants for backgrounds. Never use `primary` or `secondary` as large background areas.
- R1.6: Use `tertiary` sparingly for accent and complementary contrast only.

### 1.3 Light and Dark Themes

Support both light and dark themes. Respect the system setting by default.

```kotlin
// Compose: Detect system theme
val darkTheme = isSystemInDarkTheme()
```

**Rules:**
- R1.7: Always support both light and dark themes. Never ship light-only.
- R1.8: Dark theme surfaces use elevation-based tonal mapping, not pure black (#000000). Use `surface` color roles which handle this automatically.
- R1.9: Provide a manual theme override in app settings (System / Light / Dark).

### 1.4 Custom Color Seeds

When branding requires custom colors, provide a seed color and generate tonal palettes using Material Theme Builder.

```kotlin
// Custom color scheme with brand seed
private val BrandLightColorScheme = lightColorScheme(
    primary = Color(0xFF1B6D2F),
    onPrimary = Color(0xFFFFFFFF),
    primaryContainer = Color(0xFFA4F6A8),
    onPrimaryContainer = Color(0xFF002107),
    // ... generate full palette from seed
)
```

**Rules:**
- R1.10: Generate tonal palettes from seed colors using Material Theme Builder. Never manually pick individual tones.
- R1.11: When using custom colors, still support dynamic color as the default and use custom colors as fallback.

---

## 2. Navigation [CRITICAL]

### 2.1 Navigation Bar (Bottom)

The primary navigation pattern for phones with 3-5 top-level destinations.

```kotlin
// Compose: Navigation Bar
NavigationBar {
    items.forEachIndexed { index, item ->
        NavigationBarItem(
            icon = {
                Icon(
                    imageVector = if (selectedItem == index) item.filledIcon else item.outlinedIcon,
                    contentDescription = item.label
                )
            },
            label = { Text(item.label) },
            selected = selectedItem == index,
            onClick = { selectedItem = index }
        )
    }
}
```

**Rules:**
- R2.1: Use Navigation Bar for 3-5 top-level destinations on compact screens. Never use for fewer than 3 or more than 5.
- R2.2: Always show labels on navigation bar items. Icon-only navigation bars are not permitted.
- R2.3: Use filled icons for the selected state and outlined icons for unselected states.
- R2.4: The active indicator uses `secondaryContainer` color. Do not override this.

### 2.2 Navigation Rail

For medium and expanded screens (tablets, foldables, desktop).

```kotlin
// Compose: Navigation Rail for larger screens
NavigationRail(
    header = {
        FloatingActionButton(
            onClick = { /* primary action */ },
            containerColor = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.tertiaryContainer
        ) {
            Icon(Icons.Default.Add, contentDescription = "Create")
        }
    }
) {
    items.forEachIndexed { index, item ->
        NavigationRailItem(
            icon = { Icon(item.icon, contentDescription = item.label) },
            label = { Text(item.label) },
            selected = selectedItem == index,
            onClick = { selectedItem = index }
        )
    }
}
```

**Rules:**
- R2.5: Use Navigation Rail on medium (600-839dp) and expanded (840dp+) window sizes. Pair it with Navigation Bar on compact.
- R2.6: Optionally include a FAB in the rail header for the primary action.
- R2.7: Labels are optional on the rail but recommended for clarity.

### 2.3 Navigation Drawer

For 5+ destinations or complex navigation hierarchies, typically on expanded screens.

```kotlin
// Compose: Permanent Navigation Drawer for large screens
PermanentNavigationDrawer(
    drawerContent = {
        PermanentDrawerSheet {
            Text("App Name", modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp),
                 style = MaterialTheme.typography.titleMedium)
            HorizontalDivider()
            items.forEach { item ->
                NavigationDrawerItem(
                    label = { Text(item.label) },
                    selected = item == selectedItem,
                    onClick = { selectedItem = item },
                    icon = { Icon(item.icon, contentDescription = null) }
                )
            }
        }
    }
) {
    Scaffold { /* page content */ }
}
```

**Rules:**
- R2.8: Use modal drawer on compact screens, permanent drawer on expanded screens.
- R2.9: Group drawer items into sections with dividers and section headers.

### 2.4 Predictive Back Gesture

Android 13+ supports predictive back with an animation preview.

```kotlin
// Compose: Predictive back with BackHandler (androidx.activity.compose)
BackHandler(enabled = true) {
    // Called when back is confirmed; navigate back in your nav controller
    navController.popBackStack()
}
```

```kotlin
// Compose: Predictive back progress animation using predictiveBackHandler modifier
// (androidx.activity:activity-compose 1.8+)
Modifier.predictiveBackHandler(enabled = true) { progress ->
    // progress is a Flow<BackEventCompat> with x, y, swipeEdge, progress (0.0–1.0)
    progress.collect { backEvent ->
        animationState = backEvent.progress
    }
}
```

```xml
<!-- AndroidManifest.xml: opt in to predictive back -->
<application android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback="true">
```

**Rules:**
- R2.10: Opt in to predictive back in the manifest. In **Compose** apps, use `BackHandler` (from `androidx.activity.compose`) to intercept back events. In **View-based** apps, implement `OnBackInvokedCallback` (API 33+) or `OnBackPressedCallback` (AndroidX) instead of overriding `onBackPressed()`.
- R2.11: The system back gesture navigates back in the navigation stack. The Up button (toolbar arrow) navigates up in the app hierarchy. These may differ.
- R2.12: Never intercept system back to show "are you sure?" dialogs unless there is unsaved user input.
- R2.13: Do not suppress the system-provided back preview animation. If you implement custom enter/exit transitions, interpolate them using `BackEventCompat.progress` (0.0–1.0) and respect `BackEventCompat.swipeEdge` (`EDGE_LEFT`/`EDGE_RIGHT`) so the exiting screen scales down and shifts toward the initiating edge, matching the system animation.
- R2.14: Prefer recognition over recall. Keep destinations labeled, selected state visible, and back-stack context preserved so users do not reconstruct where they are after every navigation step.

```kotlin
// Compose: drive a custom animation from predictive back progress
Modifier.predictiveBackHandler(enabled = true) { progress ->
    progress.collect { backEvent ->
        // backEvent.progress: 0.0 (gesture start) → 1.0 (committed)
        // backEvent.swipeEdge: BackEventCompat.EDGE_LEFT or EDGE_RIGHT
        exitScale = 1f - (backEvent.progress * 0.1f)
        exitOffsetX = if (backEvent.swipeEdge == BackEventCompat.EDGE_LEFT) -backEvent.progress * 32.dp.toPx() else backEvent.progress * 32.dp.toPx()
    }
}
```

### 2.5 Navigation Component Selection

| Screen Size | 3-5 Destinations | 5+ Destinations |
|-------------|-------------------|-----------------|
| Compact (< 600dp) | Navigation Bar | Modal Drawer + Navigation Bar |
| Medium (600-839dp) | Navigation Rail | Modal Drawer + Navigation Rail |
| Expanded (840dp+) | Navigation Rail | Permanent Drawer |

---

## 3. Layout & Responsive [HIGH]

### 3.1 Window Size Classes

Use window size classes for adaptive layouts, not raw pixel breakpoints.

```kotlin
// Compose: Window size classes
val windowSizeClass = calculateWindowSizeClass(this)
when (windowSizeClass.widthSizeClass) {
    WindowWidthSizeClass.Compact -> CompactLayout()
    WindowWidthSizeClass.Medium -> MediumLayout()
    WindowWidthSizeClass.Expanded -> ExpandedLayout()
}
```

| Class | Width | Typical Device | Columns |
|-------|-------|----------------|---------|
| Compact | < 600dp | Phone portrait | 4 |
| Medium | 600-839dp | Tablet portrait, foldable | 8 |
| Expanded | 840dp+ | Tablet landscape, desktop | 12 |

**Rules:**
- R3.1: Always use `WindowSizeClass` from `material3-window-size-class` for responsive layout decisions.
- R3.2: Never use fixed pixel breakpoints. Device categories are fluid.
- R3.3: Support all three width size classes. At minimum, compact and expanded.

### 3.2 Material Grid

Apply canonical Material grid margins and gutters.

| Size Class | Margins | Gutters | Columns |
|------------|---------|---------|---------|
| Compact | 16dp | 8dp | 4 |
| Medium | 24dp | 16dp | 8 |
| Expanded | 24dp | 24dp | 12 |

**Rules:**
- R3.4: Content should not span the full width on expanded screens. Use a max content width of ~840dp or list-detail layout.
- R3.5: Apply consistent horizontal margins matching the grid spec.

### 3.3 Edge-to-Edge Display

Android 15+ enforces edge-to-edge. All apps should draw behind system bars.

```kotlin
// Compose: Edge-to-edge setup
class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        enableEdgeToEdge()
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            Scaffold(
                modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
                // Scaffold handles insets for top/bottom bars automatically
            ) { innerPadding ->
                Content(modifier = Modifier.padding(innerPadding))
            }
        }
    }
}
```

**Rules:**
- R3.6: Call `enableEdgeToEdge()` before `setContent`. Draw behind both status bar and navigation bar.
- R3.7: Use `WindowInsets` to pad content away from system bars. `Scaffold` handles this for top bar and bottom bar content automatically.
- R3.8: Scrollable content should scroll behind transparent system bars with appropriate inset padding at the top and bottom of the list.

### 3.4 Foldable Device Support

```kotlin
// Compose: Detect fold posture
val foldingFeatures = WindowInfoTracker.getOrCreate(context)
    .windowLayoutInfo(context)
    .collectAsState(initial = WindowLayoutInfo(emptyList()))
```

**Rules:**
- R3.9: Detect hinge/fold position and avoid placing critical content across the fold.
- R3.10: Use `ListDetailPaneScaffold` or `SupportingPaneScaffold` from Material3 adaptive library for foldable-aware layouts.

---

## 4. Typography [HIGH]

### 4.1 Material Type Scale

| Role | Default Size | Default Weight | Usage |
|------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| displayLarge | 57sp | 400 | Hero text, onboarding |
| displayMedium | 45sp | 400 | Large feature text |
| displaySmall | 36sp | 400 | Prominent display |
| headlineLarge | 32sp | 400 | Screen titles |
| headlineMedium | 28sp | 400 | Section headers |
| headlineSmall | 24sp | 400 | Card titles |
| titleLarge | 22sp | 400 | Top app bar title |
| titleMedium | 16sp | 500 | Tabs, navigation |
| titleSmall | 14sp | 500 | Subtitles |
| bodyLarge | 16sp | 400 | Primary body text |
| bodyMedium | 14sp | 400 | Secondary body text |
| bodySmall | 12sp | 400 | Captions |
| labelLarge | 14sp | 500 | Buttons, prominent labels |
| labelMedium | 12sp | 500 | Chips, smaller labels |
| labelSmall | 11sp | 500 | Timestamps, annotations |

```kotlin
// Compose: Custom typography
val AppTypography = Typography(
    displayLarge = TextStyle(
        fontFamily = FontFamily(Font(R.font.brand_regular)),
        fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,
        fontSize = 57.sp,
        lineHeight = 64.sp,
        letterSpacing = (-0.25).sp
    ),
    bodyLarge = TextStyle(
        fontFamily = FontFamily(Font(R.font.brand_regular)),
        fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,
        fontSize = 16.sp,
        lineHeight = 24.sp,
        letterSpacing = 0.5.sp
    )
    // ... define all 15 roles
)
```

**Rules:**
- R4.1: Always use `sp` units for text sizes to support user font scaling preferences.
- R4.2: Never set text below 12sp for body content. Labels may go to 11sp minimum.
- R4.3: Reference typography roles from `MaterialTheme.typography`, not hardcoded sizes.
- R4.4: Support dynamic type scaling. Test at 200% font scale. Ensure no text is clipped or overlapping.
- R4.5: Line height should be approximately 1.2-1.5x the font size for readability.

---

## 5. Components [HIGH]

### 5.1 Floating Action Button (FAB)

The FAB represents the single most important action on a screen.

```kotlin
// Compose: FAB variants
// Standard FAB
FloatingActionButton(onClick = { /* action */ }) {
    Icon(Icons.Default.Add, contentDescription = "Create new item")
}

// Extended FAB (with label - preferred for clarity)
ExtendedFloatingActionButton(
    onClick = { /* action */ },
    icon = { Icon(Icons.Default.Edit, contentDescription = null) },
    text = { Text("Compose") }
)

// Large FAB
LargeFloatingActionButton(onClick = { /* action */ }) {
    Icon(Icons.Default.Add, contentDescription = "Create", modifier = Modifier.size(36.dp))
}
```

**Rules:**
- R5.1: Use at most one FAB per screen. It represents the primary action.
- R5.2: Place the FAB at the bottom-end of the screen. On screens with a Navigation Bar, the FAB floats above it.
- R5.3: The FAB should use `primaryContainer` color by default. Use `tertiaryContainer` for secondary screens.
- R5.4: Prefer `ExtendedFloatingActionButton` with a label for clarity. Collapse to icon-only on scroll if needed.

### 5.2 Top App Bar

```kotlin
// Compose: Top app bar variants
// Small (default)
TopAppBar(
    title = { Text("Page Title") },
    navigationIcon = {
        IconButton(onClick = { /* navigate up */ }) {
            Icon(Icons.AutoMirrored.Filled.ArrowBack, contentDescription = "Back")
        }
    },
    actions = {
        IconButton(onClick = { /* search */ }) {
            Icon(Icons.Default.Search, contentDescription = "Search")
        }
    }
)

// Medium — expands title area
MediumTopAppBar(
    title = { Text("Section Title") },
    scrollBehavior = TopAppBarDefaults.enterAlwaysScrollBehavior()
)

// Large — for prominent titles
LargeTopAppBar(
    title = { Text("Screen Title") },
    scrollBehavior = TopAppBarDefaults.exitUntilCollapsedScrollBehavior()
)
```

**Rules:**
- R5.5: Use `TopAppBar` (small) for most screens. Use `MediumTopAppBar` or `LargeTopAppBar` for prominent section or screen titles.
- R5.6: Connect scroll behavior to the app bar so it collapses/expands with content scrolling.
- R5.7: Limit action icons to 2-3. Overflow additional actions into a more menu.

### 5.3 Bottom Sheets

```kotlin
// Compose: Modal bottom sheet
ModalBottomSheet(
    onDismissRequest = { showSheet = false },
    sheetState = rememberModalBottomSheetState()
) {
    Column(modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)) {
        Text("Sheet Title", style = MaterialTheme.typography.titleLarge)
        Spacer(modifier = Modifier.height(16.dp))
        // Sheet content
    }
}
```

**Rules:**
- R5.8: Use modal bottom sheets for non-critical supplementary content. Use standard bottom sheets for persistent content.
- R5.9: Bottom sheets must have a visible drag handle for discoverability.
- R5.10: Sheet content must be scrollable if it can exceed the visible area.

### 5.4 Dialogs

```kotlin
// Compose: Alert dialog
AlertDialog(
    onDismissRequest = { showDialog = false },
    title = { Text("Discard draft?") },
    text = { Text("Your unsaved changes will be lost.") },
    confirmButton = {
        TextButton(onClick = { /* confirm */ }) { Text("Discard") }
    },
    dismissButton = {
        TextButton(onClick = { showDialog = false }) { Text("Cancel") }
    }
)
```

**Rules:**
- R5.11: Dialogs interrupt the user. Use them only for critical decisions requiring immediate attention.
- R5.12: Confirm button uses a text button, not a filled button. The dismiss button is always on the left.
- R5.13: Dialog titles should be concise questions or statements. Body text provides context.

### 5.5 Snackbar

```kotlin
// Compose: Snackbar with action
val snackbarHostState = remember { SnackbarHostState() }
Scaffold(snackbarHost = { SnackbarHost(snackbarHostState) }) {
    // trigger snackbar
    LaunchedEffect(key) {
        val result = snackbarHostState.showSnackbar(
            message = "Item archived",
            actionLabel = "Undo",
            duration = SnackbarDuration.Short
        )
        if (result == SnackbarResult.ActionPerformed) { /* undo */ }
    }
}
```

**Rules:**
- R5.14: Use snackbars for brief, non-critical feedback. They auto-dismiss and should not contain critical information.
- R5.15: Snackbars appear at the bottom of the screen, above the Navigation Bar and below the FAB.
- R5.16: Include an action (e.g., "Undo") when the operation is reversible. Limit to one action.

### 5.6 Chips

```kotlin
// Filter Chip
FilterChip(
    selected = isSelected,
    onClick = { isSelected = !isSelected },
    label = { Text("Filter") },
    leadingIcon = if (isSelected) {
        { Icon(Icons.Default.Check, contentDescription = null, modifier = Modifier.size(18.dp)) }
    } else null
)

// Assist Chip
AssistChip(
    onClick = { /* action */ },
    label = { Text("Add to calendar") },
    leadingIcon = { Icon(Icons.Default.CalendarToday, contentDescription = null) }
)
```

**Rules:**
- R5.17: Use `FilterChip` for toggling filters, `AssistChip` for smart suggestions, `InputChip` for user-entered content (tags), `SuggestionChip` for dynamically generated suggestions.
- R5.18: Chips should be arranged in a horizontally scrollable row or a flow layout, not stacked vertically.
- R5.19: Expose waiting states immediately. If an action cannot finish right away, acknowledge it with inline state change, progress, or another visible response rather than leaving the UI static.

### 5.7 Component Selection Guide

| Need | Component |
|------|-----------|
| Primary screen action | FAB |
| Brief feedback | Snackbar |
| Critical decision | Dialog |
| Supplementary content | Bottom Sheet |
| Toggle filter | Filter Chip |
| User-entered tag | Input Chip |
| Smart suggestion | Assist Chip |
| Content group | Card |
| Vertical list of items | LazyColumn with ListItem |
| Segmented option (2-5) | SegmentedButton |
| Binary toggle | Switch |
| Selection from list | Radio buttons or exposed dropdown menu |

---

## 6. Accessibility [CRITICAL]

### 6.1 TalkBack and Content Descriptions

```kotlin
// Compose: Accessible components
Icon(
    Icons.Default.Favorite,
    contentDescription = "Add to favorites" // Descriptive, not "heart icon"
)

// Decorative elements
Icon(
    Icons.Default.Star,
    contentDescription = null // null for purely decorative
)

// Merge semantics for compound elements
Row(modifier = Modifier.semantics(mergeDescendants = true) {}) {
    Icon(Icons.Default.Event, contentDescription = null)
    Text("March 15, 2026")
}

// Custom actions
Box(modifier = Modifier.semantics {
    customActions = listOf(
        CustomAccessibilityAction("Archive") { /* archive */ true },
        CustomAccessibilityAction("Delete") { /* delete */ true }
    )
})
```

**Rules:**
- R6.1: Every interactive element must have a `contentDescription` (or `null` if purely decorative).
- R6.2: Content descriptions must describe the action or meaning, not the visual appearance. Say "Add to favorites" not "Heart icon."
- R6.3: Use `mergeDescendants = true` to group related elements into a single TalkBack focus unit (e.g., a list item with icon + text + subtitle).
- R6.4: Provide `customActions` for swipe-to-dismiss or long-press actions so TalkBack users can access them.

### 6.2 Touch Targets

```kotlin
// Compose: Ensure minimum touch target
IconButton(onClick = { /* action */ }) {
    // IconButton already provides 48dp minimum touch target
    Icon(Icons.Default.Close, contentDescription = "Close")
}

// Manual minimum touch target
Box(
    modifier = Modifier
        .sizeIn(minWidth = 48.dp, minHeight = 48.dp)
        .clickable { /* action */ },
    contentAlignment = Alignment.Center
) {
    Icon(Icons.Default.Info, contentDescription = "Info", modifier = Modifier.size(24.dp))
}
```

**Rules:**
- R6.5: All interactive elements must have a minimum touch target of 48x48dp. Material 3 components handle this by default.
- R6.6: Do not reduce touch targets to save space. Use padding to increase the touchable area if the visual element is smaller.

### 6.3 Color Contrast and Visual

**Rules:**
- R6.7: Text contrast ratio must be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18sp+ or 14sp+ bold) against its background.
- R6.8: Never use color as the only means of conveying information. Pair with icons, text, or patterns.
- R6.9: Support bold text and high contrast accessibility settings. Use `Configuration.fontWeightAdjustment` (API 31+) to detect the user's bold text preference and scale custom font weights accordingly. Use `AccessibilityManager.isHighTextContrastEnabled()` to detect high contrast mode and substitute higher-contrast color values. Material 3 components handle both automatically; custom text rendering and color usage must opt in explicitly.

```kotlin
// Detect bold text preference (API 31+)
val fontWeightAdjustment = resources.configuration.fontWeightAdjustment
val isBoldText = fontWeightAdjustment >= 700 // equivalent to FontWeight.Bold.weight

// Detect high contrast mode
val am = getSystemService(Context.ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE) as AccessibilityManager
val isHighContrast = am.isHighTextContrastEnabled

// Compose: use MaterialTheme.typography which respects fontWeightAdjustment automatically
Text(
    text = "Label",
    style = MaterialTheme.typography.bodyLarge // Adapts to fontWeightAdjustment
)

// For custom colors: provide high-contrast alternative
val labelColor = if (isHighContrast) {
    MaterialTheme.colorScheme.onSurface  // Strong contrast
} else {
    MaterialTheme.colorScheme.onSurfaceVariant  // Normal contrast
}
```

### 6.4 Focus and Traversal

```kotlin
// Compose: Custom focus order
Column {
    var focusRequester = remember { FocusRequester() }
    TextField(
        modifier = Modifier.focusRequester(focusRequester),
        value = text,
        onValueChange = { text = it }
    )
    LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
        focusRequester.requestFocus() // Auto-focus on screen load
    }
}
```

**Rules:**
- R6.10: Focus order must follow a logical reading sequence (top-to-bottom, start-to-end). Avoid custom `focusOrder` unless the default is incorrect.
- R6.11: After navigation or dialog dismissal, move focus to the most logical target element.
- R6.12: All screens must be fully operable using TalkBack, Switch Access, and external keyboard.

### 6.5 Custom Canvas Views

Custom `View` subclasses that draw content on a Canvas (charts, custom pickers, drawing surfaces) are invisible to TalkBack by default because they have no child views. Use `ExploreByTouchHelper` from `androidx.customview.widget` to define a virtual accessibility tree.

- R6.13: Custom canvas-drawn views must use `ExploreByTouchHelper` to expose a virtual accessibility tree to TalkBack. Override `getVirtualViewAt()` to map touch coordinates to virtual view IDs, and `onPopulateNodeForVirtualView()` to supply text, bounds, and actions for each virtual node.

```kotlin
import androidx.customview.widget.ExploreByTouchHelper

class PieChartView(context: Context) : View(context) {

    private val helper = object : ExploreByTouchHelper(this) {
        override fun getVirtualViewAt(x: Float, y: Float): Int {
            // Return virtual view ID for the slice at (x, y), or INVALID_ID
            return sliceIndexAt(x, y)
        }

        override fun getVisibleVirtualViews(virtualViewIds: MutableList<Int>) {
            slices.indices.forEach { virtualViewIds.add(it) }
        }

        override fun onPopulateNodeForVirtualView(
            virtualViewId: Int,
            node: AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat
        ) {
            val slice = slices[virtualViewId]
            node.text = "${slice.label}: ${slice.percentage}%"
            node.setBoundsInParent(slice.bounds)
            node.addAction(AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat.ACTION_CLICK)
        }

        override fun onPerformActionForVirtualView(
            virtualViewId: Int, action: Int, arguments: Bundle?
        ): Boolean {
            if (action == AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat.ACTION_CLICK) {
                onSliceSelected(virtualViewId)
                return true
            }
            return false
        }
    }

    init {
        ViewCompat.setAccessibilityDelegate(this, helper)
    }

    override fun dispatchHoverEvent(event: MotionEvent) =
        helper.dispatchHoverEvent(event) || super.dispatchHoverEvent(event)
}
```

## 7. Gestures & Input [MEDIUM]

### 7.1 System Gestures

**Rules:**
- R7.1: Never place interactive elements within the system gesture inset zones (bottom 20dp, left/right 24dp edges) as they conflict with system navigation gestures.
- R7.2: Use `WindowInsets.systemGestures` to detect and avoid gesture conflict zones.

### 7.2 Common Gesture Patterns

```kotlin
// Compose: Pull to refresh
PullToRefreshBox(
    isRefreshing = isRefreshing,
    onRefresh = { viewModel.refresh() }
) {
    LazyColumn { /* content */ }
}

// Compose: Swipe to dismiss
SwipeToDismissBox(
    state = rememberSwipeToDismissBoxState(),
    backgroundContent = {
        Box(
            modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize().background(MaterialTheme.colorScheme.error),
            contentAlignment = Alignment.CenterEnd
        ) {
            Icon(Icons.Default.Delete, contentDescription = "Delete",
                 tint = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.onError)
        }
    }
) {
    ListItem(headlineContent = { Text("Swipeable item") })
}
```

**Rules:**
- R7.3: All swipe-to-dismiss actions must be undoable (show snackbar with undo) or require confirmation.
- R7.4: Provide alternative non-gesture ways to trigger all gesture-based actions (for accessibility).
- R7.5: Apply Material ripple effect on all tappable elements. Compose `clickable` modifier includes ripple by default.

### 7.3 Long Press

**Rules:**
- R7.6: Use long press for contextual menus and multi-select mode. Never use it as the only way to access a feature.
- R7.7: Provide haptic feedback on long press via `HapticFeedbackType.LongPress`.

## 8. Notifications [MEDIUM]

### 8.1 Notification Channels

```kotlin
// Create notification channel (required for Android 8+)
val channel = NotificationChannel(
    "messages",
    "Messages",
    NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH
).apply {
    description = "New message notifications"
    enableLights(true)
    lightColor = Color.BLUE
}
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel)
```

| Importance | Behavior | Use For |
|-----------|----------|---------|
| IMPORTANCE_HIGH | Sound + heads-up | Messages, calls...
