Hulu (iOS) — Jetpack Compose Implementation Guide

Companion to DESIGN.md — the framework-neutral spec. This file ports Hulu’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? The DESIGN.md tokens are platform-neutral. This file keeps the visual identity (Hulu’s near-black canvas, single electric-green accent, 16:9 dense rails, green progress bars) while making everything idiomatic Android — NavigationBar instead of a UITabBar, sp/dp instead of pt, Compose springs instead of UIKit haptics.

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

1. Color Tokens

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

object HuluColors {
    // Canvas & Surfaces
    val Canvas    = Color(0xFF0B0C0F)
    val DeepBlack = Color(0xFF000000)
    val Surface1  = Color(0xFF151619)
    val Surface2  = Color(0xFF1E2024)
    val Surface3  = Color(0xFF2A2D33)
    val Divider   = Color(0xFF2A2D33)

    // Text
    val TextPrimary   = Color(0xFFFFFFFF)
    val TextSecondary = Color(0xFFA0A4AB)
    val TextTertiary  = Color(0xFF6B6F77)

    // Brand
    val Green        = Color(0xFF1CE783)
    val GreenPressed = Color(0xFF15B869)
    val LiveRed      = Color(0xFFF0476A)
    val ErrorRed     = Color(0xFFF0476A)
}

Wire it into a Material 3 darkColorScheme so ripples, dividers, and default component colors inherit the brand. Hulu is effectively dark-only; do not provide a light scheme.

// ui/theme/Theme.kt
import androidx.compose.material3.darkColorScheme
import androidx.compose.material3.MaterialTheme

private val HuluScheme = darkColorScheme(
    primary        = HuluColors.Green,
    onPrimary      = HuluColors.Canvas,      // intentional: near-black on bright green
    background     = HuluColors.Canvas,
    onBackground   = HuluColors.TextPrimary,
    surface        = HuluColors.Surface1,
    onSurface      = HuluColors.TextPrimary,
    surfaceVariant = HuluColors.Surface2,
    outline        = HuluColors.Divider,
    error          = HuluColors.ErrorRed,
)

@Composable
fun HuluTheme(content: @Composable () -> Unit) =
    MaterialTheme(colorScheme = HuluScheme, typography = HuluTypography, content = content)

2. Typography

Graphik is a licensed brand typeface. Drop the TTFs in res/font/ (lowercase, snake_case) and build a FontFamily. Fall back to the system font (Roboto) — its grotesque tone is the closest free substitute on Android.

// ui/theme/HuluType.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 Graphik = FontFamily(
    Font(R.font.graphik_regular,  FontWeight.Normal),   // 400
    Font(R.font.graphik_semibold, FontWeight.SemiBold), // 600
    Font(R.font.graphik_bold,     FontWeight.ExtraBold),// 800
)

// Named ramp — mirrors DESIGN.md §3 exactly (pt → sp 1:1)
object HuluText {
    val HeroTitle       = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.ExtraBold, fontSize = 32.sp, lineHeight = 35.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.5).sp)
    val TitleLarge      = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.ExtraBold, fontSize = 28.sp, lineHeight = 32.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.4).sp)
    val RailHeader      = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.ExtraBold, fontSize = 22.sp, lineHeight = 26.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.3).sp)
    val SectionHeader   = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.ExtraBold, fontSize = 20.sp, lineHeight = 24.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.3).sp)
    val EpisodeTitle    = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold,  fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 20.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.1).sp)
    val TileTitle       = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold,  fontSize = 15.sp, lineHeight = 19.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.1).sp)
    val Body            = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,    fontSize = 15.sp, lineHeight = 22.sp)
    val Meta            = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,    fontSize = 13.sp, lineHeight = 17.sp)
    val TileSubtitle    = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,    fontSize = 12.sp, lineHeight = 16.sp)
    val LabelUpper      = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.ExtraBold, fontSize = 11.sp, lineHeight = 13.sp, letterSpacing = 0.6.sp)
    val Button          = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.ExtraBold, fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 20.sp, letterSpacing = 0.2.sp)
    val ButtonSecondary = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold,  fontSize = 15.sp, lineHeight = 19.sp)
    val Tab             = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold,  fontSize = 10.sp, lineHeight = 12.sp, letterSpacing = 0.2.sp)
    val Badge           = TextStyle(Graphik, fontWeight = FontWeight.ExtraBold, fontSize = 11.sp, lineHeight = 13.sp, letterSpacing = 0.4.sp)
}

// Map onto Material 3 slots so stock components inherit the brand
val HuluTypography = Typography(
    headlineLarge = HuluText.TitleLarge,
    headlineSmall = HuluText.RailHeader,
    titleMedium   = HuluText.TileTitle,
    bodyMedium    = HuluText.Body,
    labelSmall    = HuluText.Tab,
)

Details Hero (darkened backdrop + green CTA)

@Composable
fun HuluDetailsHero(

    onWatch: () -> Unit,
) {
    Column(Modifier.fillMaxWidth().background(HuluColors.Canvas)) {
        Box(Modifier.fillMaxWidth().height(280.dp)) {
            AsyncImage(
                model = backdropUrl,
                contentDescription = "$title backdrop",
                modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),

                            0.4f to Color.Transparent,
                            1f to HuluColors.Canvas,
                        )
                    )
            )
            Column(Modifier.align(Alignment.BottomStart).padding(16.dp)) {
                Text(title, style = HuluText.HeroTitle, color = HuluColors.TextPrimary)
                Spacer(Modifier.height(6.dp))
                Text(metadata, style = HuluText.Meta, color = HuluColors.TextSecondary)
            }
        }
        Column(Modifier.padding(16.dp), verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(16.dp)) {
            HuluWatchButton(onClick = onWatch)
            Row(Modifier.fillMaxWidth(), horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.SpaceAround) {
                HuluIconAction(Icons.Filled.Add, "My Stuff")
                HuluIconAction(Icons.Filled.FileDownload, "Download")
                HuluIconAction(Icons.Filled.IosShare, "Share")
            }
        }
    }
}

@Composable
fun HuluIconAction(icon: ImageVector, label: String, active: Boolean = false) {
    Column(
        Modifier.widthIn(min = 44.dp),
        horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally,
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(6.dp),
    ) {
        Icon(icon, contentDescription = label,
            tint = if (active) HuluColors.Green else HuluColors.TextPrimary,
            modifier = Modifier.size(22.dp))
        Text(label, style = HuluText.TileSubtitle, color = HuluColors.TextSecondary)
    }
}

4. Live Badge

@Composable
fun HuluLiveBadge() {
    val t = rememberInfiniteTransition(label = "live")
    val alpha by t.animateFloat(
        1f, 0.4f,
        infiniteRepeatable(tween(700), RepeatMode.Reverse),
        label = "dot",
    )
    Row(
        Modifier
            .clip(RoundedCornerShape(50))
            .background(HuluColors.LiveRed)
            .padding(horizontal = 8.dp, vertical = 4.dp),
        horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(5.dp),
        verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically,
    ) {
        Box(Modifier.size(6.dp).alpha(alpha).clip(CircleShape).background(Color.White))
        Text("LIVE", style = HuluText.Badge, color = Color.White)
    }
}

5. Bottom Navigation (Tab Bar)

Use Material 3 NavigationBar. Hulu’s iOS tab bar is .regularMaterial blur; Android has no first-class live blur, so use a 94%-opaque canvas surface. Active tint is Hulu Green — unlike many streamers, green IS the tab indicator here.

@Composable
fun HuluBottomBar(selected: Int, onSelect: (Int) -> Unit) {
    NavigationBar(
        containerColor = HuluColors.Canvas.copy(alpha = 0.94f),
        tonalElevation = 0.dp,
    ) {
        val items = listOf(
            "Home"     to Icons.Filled.Home,
            "Hubs"     to Icons.Filled.GridView,
            "My Stuff" to Icons.Filled.Bookmark,
            "Search"   to Icons.Filled.Search,
            "Account"  to Icons.Filled.AccountCircle,
        )
        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 = HuluText.Tab) },
                colors = NavigationBarItemDefaults.colors(
                    selectedIconColor   = HuluColors.Green,   // green IS the indicator
                    selectedTextColor   = HuluColors.Green,
                    unselectedIconColor = HuluColors.TextSecondary,
                    unselectedTextColor = HuluColors.TextSecondary,
                    indicatorColor      = Color.Transparent,   // no Material pill — Hulu has none
                ),
            )
        }
    }
}

6. Motion

// Add-to-My-Stuff bounce
@Composable
fun MyStuffToggle(inList: Boolean, onToggle: () -> Unit) {
    val scale = remember { Animatable(1f) }
    LaunchedEffect(inList) {
        scale.animateTo(1.15f, tween(120)); scale.animateTo(1f, tween(130))
    }
    Icon(
        imageVector = if (inList) Icons.Filled.Check else Icons.Filled.Add,
        contentDescription = if (inList) "In My Stuff" else "Add to My Stuff",
        tint = if (inList) HuluColors.Green else HuluColors.TextPrimary,
        modifier = Modifier.size(22.dp).scale(scale.value)
            .clickable(remember { MutableInteractionSource() }, indication = null, onClick = onToggle),
    )
}

Haptics: prefer LocalHapticFeedback. For richer control use LocalView.current.performHapticFeedback(HapticFeedbackConstants.CONTEXT_CLICK) (API 30+) or a Vibrator VibrationEffect.createOneShot(8, ...) to approximate iOS’s .light impact.

7. Icons

Hulu ships custom glyphs; the closest first-party set is androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended. For exact parity, export Hulu’s glyphs as vector drawables and load via ImageVector.vectorResource(R.drawable.…).

8. Minimum SDK & Accessibility Notes

• minSdk 24 (Compose floor is 21; modern motion is comfortable at 24). compileSdk 34+, Compose BOM 2024.09+, Kotlin 2.0+.
• Edge-to-edge: call enableEdgeToEdge() in the Activity; the near-black canvas wants WindowCompat light-content system bars. Apply Scaffold insets so the tab bar clears gesture nav.
• Font scaling: sp honors the user’s font scale automatically — keep it on show titles, episode titles, synopsis. Pin layout-sensitive text (tab labels, scrubber timestamps, tile subtitles in dense rails) by deriving size from dp or wrapping in CompositionLocalProvider(LocalDensity provides Density(density, fontScale = 1f)).
• TalkBack: set contentDescription on tiles (“Watch The Bear, Season 3 Episode 4, 24 minutes left”); merge tile title+subtitle with Modifier.semantics(mergeDescendants = true) and expose progress via stateDescription.
• Touch targets: Material guidance is 48.dp minimum. The 52.dp Watch CTA and 96.dp episode rows clear it; ensure 24.dp icon actions have Modifier.size(48.dp) hit area via padding.
• Contrast: #A0A4AB on #0B0C0F passes WCAG AA at 13sp+. The bright green (#1CE783) with near-black (#0B0C0F) text exceeds AAA — keep that pairing; never white-on-green. Validate 11sp badge labels and bump toward #B6BAC0 for strict compliance.
• Dynamic color: do not enable Material You dynamicDarkColorScheme() — Hulu’s brand requires the fixed #0B0C0F canvas and single electric-green accent regardless of wallpaper.
