Gmail (iOS) — Jetpack Compose Implementation Guide

Companion to DESIGN.md — the framework-neutral spec. This file ports Gmail’s visual language to Android with Jetpack Compose (Material 3): a color token object, a Typography set, paste-ready @Composables, Modifiers, motion, and haptics.

Why a Compose guide for an iOS-referenced app? Gmail is a Material app — the iOS build is Material You ported onto SF Pro. On Android this guide goes home: a true FloatingActionButton and ExtendedFloatingActionButton, SwipeToDismissBox for archive/delete, a NavigationBar with the real Material active-indicator pill, and sp/dp instead of pt. Because it is Material-native, this is one of the few apps where you should embrace dynamicColorScheme() (see §8).

Assumes Compose BOM 2024.09+, Kotlin 2.0+, minSdk 24, Material 3, and Coil 2.6+ for sender avatar photos.

1. Color Tokens

// ui/theme/GmailColors.kt
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color

object GmailColors {
    // Canvas & Surfaces
    val Canvas         = Color(0xFFFFFFFF)
    val Surface        = Color(0xFFF6F8FC)
    val SurfacePressed = Color(0xFFF1F3F4)
    val Divider        = Color(0xFFDADCE0)

    // Text
    val TextPrimary   = Color(0xFF202124)
    val TextSecondary = Color(0xFF5F6368)
    val TextDisabled  = Color(0xFF9AA0A6)
    val TextLink      = Color(0xFF1A73E8)

    // Gmail Red — FAB + destructive ONLY
    val Red        = Color(0xFFD93025)
    val RedPressed = Color(0xFFB3261E)
    val RedSubtle  = Color(0xFFFCE8E6)

    // Google 4-color brand (avatars, chips, Smart Reply)
    val GoogleRed    = Color(0xFFEA4335)
    val GoogleYellow = Color(0xFFFBBC04)
    val GoogleGreen  = Color(0xFF34A853)
    val GoogleBlue   = Color(0xFF4285F4)

    // Semantic
    val StarYellow   = Color(0xFFF5BA18)
    val ArchiveTeal  = Color(0xFF1E8E3E)
    val SelectedRow  = Color(0xFFE8F0FE)
    val SnoozePurple = Color(0xFFA142F4)

    // Dark Mode (Google's standard charcoal — NOT pure black)
    val DarkCanvas      = Color(0xFF202124)
    val DarkSurface1    = Color(0xFF28292C)
    val DarkSurface2    = Color(0xFF303134)
    val DarkDivider     = Color(0xFF3C4043)
    val DarkTextPrimary = Color(0xFFE8EAED)
    val DarkTextSecondary = Color(0xFFBDC1C6)
    val DarkRed         = Color(0xFFF28B82) // FAB shifts lighter on dark
}

Wire it into a Material 3 scheme. Gmail’s dark mode is #202124 charcoal — never #000.

// ui/theme/Theme.kt
import androidx.compose.foundation.isSystemInDarkTheme
import androidx.compose.material3.dynamicDarkColorScheme
import androidx.compose.material3.dynamicLightColorScheme
import androidx.compose.material3.darkColorScheme
import androidx.compose.material3.lightColorScheme

import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable
import androidx.compose.ui.platform.LocalContext
import android.os.Build

private val GmailLight = lightColorScheme(
    primary           = GmailColors.Red,         // the FAB
    onPrimary         = Color.White,
    secondary         = GmailColors.TextLink,    // tonal buttons / active tab
    background        = GmailColors.Canvas,
    onBackground      = GmailColors.TextPrimary,
    surface           = GmailColors.Canvas,
    onSurface         = GmailColors.TextPrimary,
    surfaceVariant    = GmailColors.Surface,
    secondaryContainer = GmailColors.SelectedRow, // Material active-indicator pill
    outline           = GmailColors.Divider,
    error             = GmailColors.Red,
)

private val GmailDark = darkColorScheme(
    primary           = GmailColors.DarkRed,
    onPrimary         = GmailColors.DarkCanvas,
    secondary         = GmailColors.TextLink,
    background        = GmailColors.DarkCanvas,
    onBackground      = GmailColors.DarkTextPrimary,
    surface           = GmailColors.DarkSurface1,
    onSurface         = GmailColors.DarkTextPrimary,
    surfaceVariant    = GmailColors.DarkSurface2,
    secondaryContainer = GmailColors.TextLink.copy(alpha = 0.24f),
    outline           = GmailColors.DarkDivider,
    error             = GmailColors.DarkRed,
)

@Composable
fun GmailTheme(
    dark: Boolean = isSystemInDarkTheme(),
    dynamic: Boolean = true,  // Gmail is Material-native — Material You ON by default
    content: @Composable () -> Unit,
) {
    val ctx = LocalContext.current
    val scheme = when {
        dynamic && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S ->
            if (dark) dynamicDarkColorScheme(ctx) else dynamicLightColorScheme(ctx)
        dark -> GmailDark
        else -> GmailLight
    }
    MaterialTheme(colorScheme = scheme, typography = GmailTypography, content = content)
}

2. Typography

Two families: Google Sans (titles, buttons, structural — geometric humanist) and Roboto (body, metadata — the Android system default). Drop Google Sans TTFs in res/font/; Roboto is the platform fallback so you can rely on the system family or bundle it (Apache 2.0).

// ui/theme/GmailType.kt
import androidx.compose.material3.Typography
import androidx.compose.ui.text.TextStyle
import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.Font
import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontFamily
import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontWeight
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.sp

val GoogleSans = FontFamily(
    Font(R.font.google_sans_regular, FontWeight.Normal),  // 400
    Font(R.font.google_sans_medium,  FontWeight.Medium),  // 500
    Font(R.font.google_sans_bold,    FontWeight.Bold),    // 700
)
val Roboto = FontFamily(
    Font(R.font.roboto_regular, FontWeight.Normal),
    Font(R.font.roboto_medium,  FontWeight.Medium),
)

// Named ramp — mirrors DESIGN.md §3 exactly (pt → sp 1:1, line-height = size × ratio)
object GmailText {
    val TitleLarge    = TextStyle(GoogleSans, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal, fontSize = 28.sp, lineHeight = 34.sp)
    val TitleCompact  = TextStyle(GoogleSans, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium, fontSize = 20.sp, lineHeight = 24.sp, letterSpacing = 0.15.sp)
    val SectionHeader = TextStyle(GoogleSans, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium, fontSize = 13.sp, lineHeight = 16.sp, letterSpacing = 0.8.sp)
    val ThreadSubject = TextStyle(GoogleSans, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal, fontSize = 22.sp, lineHeight = 28.sp)
    val SenderUnread  = TextStyle(GoogleSans, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium, fontSize = 14.sp, lineHeight = 17.sp)
    val SubjectUnread = TextStyle(GoogleSans, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium, fontSize = 14.sp, lineHeight = 18.sp)
    val SenderRead    = TextStyle(Roboto,     fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal, fontSize = 14.sp, lineHeight = 17.sp)
    val Snippet       = TextStyle(Roboto,     fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal, fontSize = 13.sp, lineHeight = 17.sp)
    val Body          = TextStyle(Roboto,     fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal, fontSize = 15.sp, lineHeight = 23.sp)
    val FabButton     = TextStyle(GoogleSans, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium, fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 16.sp, letterSpacing = 0.1.sp)
    val TonalButton   = TextStyle(GoogleSans, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium, fontSize = 14.sp, lineHeight = 14.sp, letterSpacing = 0.1.sp)
    val SmartReply    = TextStyle(GoogleSans, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium, fontSize = 14.sp, lineHeight = 14.sp)
    val LabelChip     = TextStyle(GoogleSans, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium, fontSize = 12.sp, lineHeight = 12.sp, letterSpacing = 0.2.sp)
    val Tab           = TextStyle(GoogleSans, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium, fontSize = 12.sp, lineHeight = 12.sp, letterSpacing = 0.1.sp)
    val Timestamp     = TextStyle(Roboto,     fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal, fontSize = 13.sp, lineHeight = 16.sp)
    val Meta          = TextStyle(Roboto,     fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal, fontSize = 12.sp, lineHeight = 16.sp)
}

// Map onto Material 3 slots so stock components inherit the brand
val GmailTypography = Typography(
    headlineLarge = GmailText.TitleLarge,
    headlineSmall = GmailText.ThreadSubject,
    titleMedium   = GmailText.SenderUnread,
    bodyMedium    = GmailText.Body,
    labelLarge    = GmailText.TonalButton,
    labelSmall    = GmailText.Tab,
)

3. Signature Components

Compose FAB (the Gmail-red squircle)

Use the real Material FloatingActionButton / ExtendedFloatingActionButton. The Gmail FAB is a 16.dp-rounded squircle — override the default circular shape.

import androidx.compose.animation.AnimatedVisibility
import androidx.compose.animation.expandHorizontally
import androidx.compose.animation.shrinkHorizontally
import androidx.compose.foundation.shape.RoundedCornerShape
import androidx.compose.material.icons.Icons
import androidx.compose.material.icons.filled.Edit
import androidx.compose.material3.*
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.hapticfeedback.HapticFeedbackType
import androidx.compose.ui.platform.LocalHapticFeedback
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

@Composable
fun ComposeFab(
    extended: Boolean,            // true on tablet / scroll-up — shows "Compose"
    onClick: () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
) {
    val haptics = LocalHapticFeedback.current
    ExtendedFloatingActionButton(
        onClick = {
            haptics.performHapticFeedback(HapticFeedbackType.LongPress) // ≈ .impact(.medium)
            onClick()
        },
        expanded = extended,
        icon = { Icon(Icons.Filled.Edit, contentDescription = "Compose") },
        text = { Text("Compose", style = GmailText.FabButton) },
        containerColor = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.primary, // Gmail red / dark red
        contentColor = Color.White,
        shape = RoundedCornerShape(16.dp),                  // Material You squircle, NOT a circle
        modifier = modifier,
    )
}

Place it in Scaffold(floatingActionButton = { ComposeFab(...) }, floatingActionButtonPosition = FabPosition.End) so it floats bottom-right with 16.dp clearance above the bottom bar.

4. Gmail-Specific Feature: Compose FAB Scroll Behavior + Swipe Actions

The FAB is THE Gmail. It must always be reachable: on scroll-down it collapses to icon-only (56.dp); on scroll-up it re-expands to ExtendedFloatingActionButton with the “Compose” label. Drive extended from a NestedScrollConnection so width animates over ~200ms (the ExtendedFloatingActionButton expanded flag animates this for you).

import androidx.compose.ui.input.nestedscroll.NestedScrollConnection
import androidx.compose.ui.input.nestedscroll.nestedScroll
import androidx.compose.ui.geometry.Offset

@Composable
fun InboxScreen(emails: List<EmailModel>) {
    var fabExtended by remember { mutableStateOf(true) }
    val scrollConn = remember {
        object : NestedScrollConnection {
            override fun onPreScroll(available: Offset, source: androidx.compose.ui.input.nestedscroll.NestedScrollSource): Offset {
                if (available.y < -4f) fabExtended = false // scrolling down → collapse
                if (available.y >  4f) fabExtended = true  // scrolling up → expand
                return Offset.Zero
            }
        }
    }

    Scaffold(
        floatingActionButton = { ComposeFab(extended = fabExtended, onClick = { /* open compose */ }) },
        floatingActionButtonPosition = FabPosition.End,
    ) { padding ->
        LazyColumn(Modifier.padding(padding).nestedScroll(scrollConn)) {
            items(emails, key = { it.id }) { e ->
                val (avColor, initial) = gmailAvatarColor(e.senderEmail)
                EmailRow(
                    sender = e.sender, subject = e.subject, snippet = e.snippet,
                    timestamp = e.timestamp, isUnread = e.isUnread, isStarred = e.isStarred,
                    avatarColor = avColor, avatarInitial = initial,
                    onOpen = { /* open thread */ },
                    onArchive = { /* archive + animate row height 72 → 0 */ },
                    onDelete = { /* delete */ },
                )
            }
        }
    }
}

SwipeToDismissBox (in EmailRow) is the Material-idiomatic equivalent of iOS .swipeActions: swipe-right reveals the teal archive pane, swipe-left the red delete pane, with a 40% positional commit threshold and an automatic spring snap-back below it. On archive, animate the row’s height 72.dp → 0 via animateContentSize() so adjacent rows shift up.

5. Navigation

Use Material 3 NavigationBar — Gmail’s iOS active-indicator pill is literally the Material You secondaryContainer pill, so this is the one app where the stock component matches the source exactly. 2–4 configurable tabs: Mail, Chat, Spaces, Meet. Android has no live blur, so the bar is the opaque canvas surface with a 0.5dp top divider.

@Composable
fun GmailBottomBar(selected: Int, onSelect: (Int) -> Unit) {
    Column {
        HorizontalDivider(color = GmailColors.Divider, thickness = 0.5.dp)
        NavigationBar(containerColor = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.surface, tonalElevation = 0.dp) {
            val items = listOf(
                "Mail"   to Icons.Filled.Email,
                "Chat"   to Icons.Filled.ChatBubble,
                "Spaces" to Icons.Filled.Groups,
                "Meet"   to Icons.Filled.Videocam,
            )
            items.forEachIndexed { i, (label, icon) ->
                NavigationBarItem(
                    selected = selected == i,
                    onClick = { onSelect(i) },
                    icon = { Icon(icon, contentDescription = label, modifier = Modifier.size(24.dp)) },
                    label = { Text(label, style = GmailText.Tab) },
                    colors = NavigationBarItemDefaults.colors(
                        selectedIconColor   = GmailColors.TextLink,
                        selectedTextColor   = GmailColors.TextLink,
                        unselectedIconColor = GmailColors.TextSecondary,
                        unselectedTextColor = GmailColors.TextSecondary,
                        indicatorColor      = GmailColors.SelectedRow, // the #E8F0FE Material pill — keep it
                    ),
                )
            }
        }
    }
}

The top app bar uses TopAppBar with a leading hamburger (opens a ModalNavigationDrawer of mailboxes), a centered pill search field (#F6F8FC, 500pt radius), and a trailing 28.dp account avatar.

6. Motion

// Star toggle bounce
@Composable
fun StarToggle(starred: Boolean, onToggle: () -> Unit) {
    val scale = remember { Animatable(1f) }
    val haptics = LocalHapticFeedback.current
    val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()
    Icon(
        if (starred) Icons.Filled.Star else Icons.Outlined.StarBorder,
        contentDescription = if (starred) "Starred" else "Not starred",
        tint = if (starred) GmailColors.StarYellow else GmailColors.TextSecondary,
        modifier = Modifier
            .size(18.dp)
            .scale(scale.value)
            .clickable {
                scope.launch {
                    scale.animateTo(1.2f, tween(120)); scale.animateTo(1f, spring(dampingRatio = 0.5f))
                }
                haptics.performHapticFeedback(HapticFeedbackType.LongPress)
                onToggle()
            },
    )
}

Haptics: prefer LocalHapticFeedback. HapticFeedbackType.LongPress approximates iOS impact; for richer control use LocalView.current.performHapticFeedback(HapticFeedbackConstants.CONFIRM) (API 30+) or a Vibrator VibrationEffect.createOneShot(12, …).

7. Icons

Gmail uses Material Symbols natively; androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended is the first-party match. The Gmail “M” logo and the pull-to-refresh swirl ship as vector drawables (ImageVector.vectorResource(R.drawable.…)).

8. Minimum SDK & Accessibility Notes

• minSdk 24 (Compose floor is 21; SwipeToDismissBox and modern motion are comfortable at 24). compileSdk 34+, Compose BOM 2024.09+, Kotlin 2.0+.
• Edge-to-edge: call enableEdgeToEdge() in the Activity; the white canvas wants dark status-bar icons (charcoal #202124 in dark wants light icons). Use Scaffold insets so the FAB floats 16.dp above the gesture nav and the top bar clears the camera cutout.
• Font scaling: sp honors the user’s font scale automatically — keep it on email body, subjects, snippets, thread content. Pin layout-sensitive text (13sp section headers, 13sp timestamps, 12sp tab labels, 14sp Smart Reply / 12sp label chips) by deriving size from dp or wrapping in CompositionLocalProvider(LocalDensity provides Density(density, fontScale = 1f)) so the fixed 72.dp rows never clip.
• TalkBack: collapse each email row into one node with Modifier.semantics(mergeDescendants = true) — “Sarah Chen, unread, Q4 planning update. Wanted to share the latest thinking. 10:42 AM. Not starred. Double-tap to open.” Expose archive/delete as custom accessibility actions since swipe is not discoverable via TalkBack.
• Touch targets: Material guidance is 48.dp minimum. The FAB (56.dp) is well clear; ensure the 18.dp star and 24.dp top-bar icons sit in ≥48.dp hit areas via padding.
• Contrast: #202124 on #FFFFFF exceeds AAA. #5F6368 secondary on white meets AA at 13sp+ — boost the snippet/timestamp toward #3C4043 when the system “increase contrast” setting (or isHighTextContrastEnabled) is on. In dark mode, switch the layered shadows for a tonal surfaceColorAtElevation() tint since shadows vanish on #202124 (Material’s dark-mode depth model).
• Dynamic color: RECOMMENDED — embrace dynamicColorScheme(). Gmail is a Material-native Google app; on Android 12+ it should adopt Material You and tint chrome from the user’s wallpaper. Keep only the semantic anchors fixed: the Gmail-red FAB (primary), the Google 4-color avatar palette, the star yellow #F5BA18, and the teal/red swipe panes — these carry meaning and must not drift with the wallpaper. Everything else (surfaces, the active-indicator pill, tonal-button container) should flow from dynamicLightColorScheme() / dynamicDarkColorScheme().
