Android 12 Material UI Version 3

General Discussion
1

As we know that AI2 still uses some legacy UI (And its distros too use) .Is there any way that we can intergrate material ui 3 without doing it manually

See this for differences :

You are right too Ai2's UI standad is too old @oseamiya . They are not upgrading it also

Wait, Isn't the compiled APK using material 3 UI ?

No It isnt . The Appinventor dosent itself uses material UI

It uses some legacy UI We should ask @ewpatton

Would we create an issue about this in their repository?

8

No It is not bug . We can ask them fro material UI Feature

9

Actually App Inventor is not using material UI but it is using device default theme, which is by default material UI for stock android device on API >= 21 but in other device like samsung is using their own UI which is one UI so in Samsung device you will see one UI interface.

I think if you build App on Android 12 and select device default theme then it will be Material UI 3, but I am not sure about it.

Also, App Inventor is mainly an educational tool and should be kept as simple as possible. Does user graphics designing benefit the educational mission? Not really.
