Use Google Relay, a new Figma plugin that creates Jetpack Compose components from your Figma designs. This eliminates the need for you to manually code the components, saving you time and effort. To begin, we will create a new Figma file and design a login screen. With the Relay plugin, we will then export the designs as ui-packages. The UI-packages will then be imported into Android Studio as compose components, and we will explore the generated code. We'll use the generated code in our app to see how well it looks. You will be able to create Jetpack Compose components from your Figma designs by the end of this video. You will also learn how to pull the new design changes from Figma and map Figma styles with the Compose theme.
