Transforming Figma UI Designs into Jetpack Compose Code with Google AI Studio: A Step-by-Step Guide
Android developer team explained the helpful blog at 20 June 2024. In that official blog we can transform the Figma UI picture to UI code via Google AI Studio
Lets we do a real-world example to explain this feature:
Firstly, we open the Google AI Studio from the here
Secondly, we click the Create new prompt from navigation rail bar.
The Google AI Studio Main Page when we log in
Thirdly, we write that prompt:
"Act as an Android app developer. For the image provided, use Jetpack Compose to build the screen so that the Compose Preview is as close to this image as possible. Also make sure to include imports and use Material3."The above prompt is shared by Android developer team. If you want to change that prompt you could try it.
When you write the above prompt we try to upload the UI image. Inside the chat area there is a plus icon and we can upload the image from My Drive, Upload to Drive, Record Audio, Sample Images and Sample Video
When we upload the image this is the shown image:
The prompt and & UI design image are uploaded
Then we click to Run button, and wait for prompt answer. When the prompt is answered, we copy the explained code to clipboard.
Fourthly, we paste the answer to Android Studio Compose project. and let me share the code preview in Android Studio:
The App UI design is:
As you see the UI is different, to change design we should ask again the wrong prompt parts with taking photos of those parts specifically, such as taking the topBar image and then asking that part. I wrote and upload these images to chat box:
With sharing the wrong design place of photos we can fix the UI bugs.
After asking some wrong places we take our wanting UI design, and let me share it with you:
In summary, leveraging the capabilities of Google AI Studio can significantly streamline the process of converting Figma UI designs into functional Jetpack Compose code. By following a series of straightforward steps — opening the Studio, crafting a precise prompt, uploading the design image, and refining the generated code through iterative feedback — you can efficiently translate your UI mockups into Android Studio projects. This tool not only accelerates development but also helps ensure that your final product closely aligns with your initial design vision.
