Prime Video (iOS) — Jetpack Compose Implementation Guide

Companion to DESIGN.md — the framework-neutral spec. This file ports Prime Video’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 (Prime Video’s dark-navy canvas, single Prime-Blue accent, hero billboard, the X-Ray cast slide-up) while making everything idiomatic Android — NavigationBar instead of a UITabBar, ModalBottomSheet/translate for X-Ray, sp/dp instead of pt.

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

1. Color Tokens

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

object PrimeColors {
    // Canvas & Surfaces
    val Canvas    = Color(0xFF0F171E)
    val DeepBlack = Color(0xFF000000)
    val Surface1  = Color(0xFF1A242F)
    val Surface2  = Color(0xFF232F3E)
    val Surface3  = Color(0xFF2E3B47)
    val Divider   = Color(0xFF2E3B47)

    // Text
    val TextPrimary   = Color(0xFFFFFFFF)
    val TextSecondary = Color(0xFFAAB7C4)
    val TextTertiary  = Color(0xFF6E7B89)

    // Brand
    val Blue        = Color(0xFF00A8E1)
    val BluePressed = Color(0xFF008CBD)
    val ImdbYellow  = Color(0xFFF5C518)
    val LiveRed     = Color(0xFFE50914)
    val ErrorRed    = Color(0xFFE50914)
}

Wire it into a Material 3 darkColorScheme so ripples, dividers, and default components inherit the brand. Prime Video 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 PrimeScheme = darkColorScheme(
    primary        = PrimeColors.Blue,
    onPrimary      = PrimeColors.Canvas,     // intentional: dark-navy on bright blue
    background     = PrimeColors.Canvas,
    onBackground   = PrimeColors.TextPrimary,
    surface        = PrimeColors.Surface1,
    onSurface      = PrimeColors.TextPrimary,
    surfaceVariant = PrimeColors.Surface2,
    outline        = PrimeColors.Divider,
    error          = PrimeColors.ErrorRed,
)

@Composable
fun PrimeTheme(content: @Composable () -> Unit) =
    MaterialTheme(colorScheme = PrimeScheme, typography = PrimeTypography, content = content)

2. Typography

Amazon Ember 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 open grotesque tone is the closest free substitute.

// ui/theme/PrimeType.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 AmazonEmber = FontFamily(
    Font(R.font.amazon_ember_regular, FontWeight.Normal),   // 400
    Font(R.font.amazon_ember_medium,  FontWeight.SemiBold), // 600
    Font(R.font.amazon_ember_bold,    FontWeight.Bold),     // 700
)

// Named ramp — mirrors DESIGN.md §3 exactly (pt → sp 1:1)
object PrimeText {
    val DetailsTitle   = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 30.sp, lineHeight = 33.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.4).sp)
    val TitleLarge     = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 28.sp, lineHeight = 32.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.4).sp)
    val RowHeader      = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 22.sp, lineHeight = 26.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.3).sp)
    val SectionHeader  = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 20.sp, lineHeight = 24.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.3).sp)
    val EpisodeTitle   = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold, fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 20.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.1).sp)
    val TileTitle      = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold, fontSize = 15.sp, lineHeight = 19.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.1).sp)
    val Body           = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,   fontSize = 15.sp, lineHeight = 22.sp)
    val Meta           = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,   fontSize = 13.sp, lineHeight = 17.sp)
    val TileSubtitle   = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,   fontSize = 12.sp, lineHeight = 16.sp)
    val LabelUpper     = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 11.sp, lineHeight = 13.sp, letterSpacing = 0.6.sp)
    val Button         = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 20.sp, letterSpacing = 0.2.sp)
    val ButtonSecondary = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold, fontSize = 15.sp, lineHeight = 19.sp)
    val Tab            = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.SemiBold, fontSize = 10.sp, lineHeight = 12.sp, letterSpacing = 0.2.sp)
    val Badge          = TextStyle(AmazonEmber, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 11.sp, lineHeight = 13.sp, letterSpacing = 0.4.sp)
}

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

X-Ray Cast Overlay

@OptIn(ExperimentalMaterial3Api::class)
@Composable
fun PrimeXRayOverlay(
    cast: List<CastMember>,
    nowPlaying: String?,
    onDismiss: () -> Unit,
) {
    // Slides up over the lower video; Android has no live blur, so a 96%-opaque navy surface approximates iOS material.
    AnimatedVisibility(
        visible = true,
        enter = slideInVertically { it } ,
        exit = slideOutVertically { it },
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
    ) {
        Column(
            Modifier
                .fillMaxWidth()
                .clip(RoundedCornerShape(topStart = 16.dp, topEnd = 16.dp))
                .background(PrimeColors.Surface2.copy(alpha = 0.96f))
                .padding(20.dp),
            verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(12.dp),
        ) {
            Row(verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically) {
                Text("IN THIS SCENE", style = PrimeText.LabelUpper,
                    color = PrimeColors.TextSecondary, modifier = Modifier.weight(1f))
                IconButton(onClick = onDismiss) {
                    Icon(Icons.Filled.KeyboardArrowDown, contentDescription = "Close X-Ray",
                        tint = PrimeColors.TextSecondary)
                }
            }
            LazyRow(horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(16.dp)) {
                items(cast) { m ->
                    Column(Modifier.width(80.dp), horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally,
                           verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(6.dp)) {

                            modifier = Modifier.size(56.dp).clip(CircleShape), contentScale = ContentScale.Crop)
                        Text(m.name, style = PrimeText.TileSubtitle, color = Color.White, maxLines = 1)
                        Text(m.role, style = PrimeText.TileSubtitle, color = PrimeColors.TextSecondary, maxLines = 1)
                    }
                }
            }
            if (nowPlaying != null) {
                Row(verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically,
                    horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(8.dp)) {
                    Icon(Icons.Filled.MusicNote, contentDescription = null, tint = PrimeColors.Blue,
                        modifier = Modifier.size(16.dp))
                    Text("Now playing: $nowPlaying", style = PrimeText.Meta, color = Color.White)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

4. Bottom Navigation (Tab Bar)

Use Material 3 NavigationBar. Prime Video’s iOS tab bar is .regularMaterial blur; Android has no first-class live blur, so use a 94%-opaque navy surface. Active tint is Prime Blue — blue is the indicator.

@Composable
fun PrimeBottomBar(selected: Int, onSelect: (Int) -> Unit) {
    NavigationBar(
        containerColor = PrimeColors.Canvas.copy(alpha = 0.94f),
        tonalElevation = 0.dp,
    ) {
        val items = listOf(
            "Home"      to Icons.Filled.Home,
            "Store"     to Icons.Filled.ShoppingBag,
            "Live"      to Icons.Filled.Sensors,
            "Find"      to Icons.Filled.Search,
            "Downloads" to Icons.Filled.DownloadForOffline,
        )
        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 = PrimeText.Tab) },
                colors = NavigationBarItemDefaults.colors(
                    selectedIconColor   = PrimeColors.Blue,   // blue is the indicator
                    selectedTextColor   = PrimeColors.Blue,
                    unselectedIconColor = PrimeColors.TextSecondary,
                    unselectedTextColor = PrimeColors.TextSecondary,
                    indicatorColor      = Color.Transparent,
                ),
            )
        }
    }
}

5. Motion

// Snap-paginating content row
val state = rememberLazyListState()
LazyRow(
    state = state,
    flingBehavior = rememberSnapFlingBehavior(lazyListState = state),
    horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(12.dp),
    contentPadding = PaddingValues(horizontal = 16.dp),
) { /* tiles */ }

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.

6. Icons

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

7. Minimum SDK & Accessibility Notes

• minSdk 24 (Compose floor is 21; snap fling + modern motion comfortable at 24). compileSdk 34+, Compose BOM 2024.09+, Kotlin 2.0+.
• Edge-to-edge: call enableEdgeToEdge(); the dark-navy canvas wants WindowCompat light-content system bars. Apply Scaffold insets so the tab bar and X-Ray panel clear gesture nav.
• Font scaling: sp honors the user’s font scale automatically — keep it on titles, episode titles, synopsis. Pin layout-sensitive text (tab labels, scrubber timestamps, tile subtitles) via dp-derived sizes.
• TalkBack: announce tiles (“Play The Citadel Files, included with Prime”); in the X-Ray panel merge each member as “Name as Role” and mark the dismiss chevron as a button.
• Touch targets: Material guidance is 48.dp minimum. The 52.dp Play CTA and watchlist button clear it; pad the X-Ray dismiss icon and small actions to 48.dp.
• Contrast: #AAB7C4 on #0F171E passes WCAG AA at 13sp+. The bright blue (#00A8E1) with dark-navy (#0F171E) text exceeds AAA — keep that pairing; never white-on-blue. IMDb yellow (#F5C518) on navy passes AA at 13sp+ as a badge.
• Dynamic color: do not enable Material You dynamicDarkColorScheme() — Prime Video’s brand requires the fixed #0F171E navy canvas and single Prime-Blue accent regardless of wallpaper.
