How to Connect Figma to Android Studio 2026 (Relay Plugin)
In this video, I will show you how to connect Figma to Android Studio in 2026 using Google's "Relay for Figma" tool. This integration allows you to export your UI components directly into "Jetpack Compose" code, saving Android developers hours of manual implementation. I will guide you through installing the Relay plugin and converting your Figma components into "UI Packages" that Android Studio can recognize.
I will explain how to set up "Parameters" and "Content Mapping" inside Figma. This step allows you to define which parts of your component (like text labels or image fills) should be dynamic in the code. By configuring this in Figma, the developer gets a flexible composable function in Android Studio where they can easily swap out data without touching the UI design code.
We will finish by switching over to Android Studio to complete the connection. I will show you how to use the "Android Studio plugin for Relay" to sync the UI packages and build the project. I will demonstrate how the generated code looks and how to preview the design on an Android emulator to ensure the margins, padding, and fonts render exactly as they appeared in your Figma canvas.
