Goal

Closes AND-1482. Chat and Video each carry their own copy of the core design tokens. This adds a module both can depend on instead, published as io.getstream:stream-android-core-ui.

Implementation

  • New Android library module with explicitApi(), the Compose compiler plugin and its own API dump. No dependency on stream-android-core.
  • StreamDesign holds Colors, ColorScale, ChromeScale and Typography. StreamTokens holds spacing, radius, sizes, strokes, font primitives and component sizes. StreamPrimitiveColors stays internal.
  • The derived component colors on Colors (button, badge, control, input, label, tab and others) are public read-only properties, still derived from the ramps.
  • Typography includes the six link styles (body, caption, metadata, each with Link and LinkEmphasis).
  • Values follow the tokens/core namespace of design-system-tokens, including the typography and option card radius fixes from GetStream/design-system-tokens#76.
  • API dependencies are runtime, foundation, ui-graphics, ui-text and ui-unit. The Compose BOM is published as an imported BOM in the POM, so it sets the version floor for consumers.
  • README gains a Modules table, and AGENTS.md lists the module.

Testing

  • StreamDesignTest covers scale inversion, ColorScale.from ordering, the chrome endpoints, default accents, a custom brand flowing into derived tokens, copy behavior and the font family on every text style.
  • Every token name and value was compared with the design-system-tokens JSON, light and dark: 154 colors, 115 layout tokens and 20 text styles, with no differences.
  • ./gradlew assembleDebug lint spotlessCheck :stream-android-core-ui:testDebugUnitTest, then ./gradlew apiCheck in a separate call. All green.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a shared Compose design system for Chat and Video themes, including light and dark color palettes, customizable brand colors, typography styles, and reusable layout and component tokens.
  • Documentation
    • Documented the new design system module and its relationship to the existing Android core module.

The module holds the core design tokens as immutable Compose classes so
the Chat and Video Compose themes can share them: StreamDesign (Colors,
ColorScale, ChromeScale, Typography), StreamTokens and the internal
StreamPrimitiveColors. It depends on compose-runtime, foundation,
ui-graphics, ui-text and ui-unit only, with the Compose BOM published
as an imported BOM in the POM.

The classes come from the vendored layer in stream-video-android, with
the package changed and the derived component tokens on Colors made
public, since consumers now sit across a module boundary. The token
source is the tokens/core namespace of GetStream/design-system-tokens,
including the typography and option card radius fixes from #76.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a standalone Compose UI module. It exposes design-token constants, semantic light and dark color palettes, and typography styles. The build configuration, public API dump, tests, and project documentation are also added or updated.

Changes

Compose Design Tokens

Layer / File(s) Summary
Register and configure the UI module
settings.gradle.kts, stream-android-core-ui/build.gradle.kts, gradle/libs.versions.toml, README.md, AGENTS.md
The build registers and configures stream-android-core-ui with Compose dependencies. The catalog adds Compose aliases. The README and AGENTS.md describe the module.
Define primitive colors and token constants
stream-android-core-ui/api/stream-android-core-ui.api, stream-android-core-ui/src/main/java/io/getstream/android/core/ui/design/StreamPrimitiveColors.kt, stream-android-core-ui/src/main/java/io/getstream/android/core/ui/design/StreamTokens.kt
The module adds fixed primitive color values and public constants for spacing, sizing, typography, and component dimensions. The API dump records the public StreamTokens surface.
Define semantic color scales and palettes
stream-android-core-ui/api/stream-android-core-ui.api, stream-android-core-ui/src/main/java/io/getstream/android/core/ui/design/StreamDesign.kt, stream-android-core-ui/src/test/java/io/getstream/android/core/ui/design/StreamDesignTest.kt
StreamDesign adds light and dark color scales, semantic color tokens, and derived component colors. Tests cover scale inversion and generation, palette values, and color-token copying.
Define typography styles
stream-android-core-ui/api/stream-android-core-ui.api, stream-android-core-ui/src/main/java/io/getstream/android/core/ui/design/StreamDesign.kt, stream-android-core-ui/src/test/java/io/getstream/android/core/ui/design/StreamDesignTest.kt
Typography.default builds text styles from StreamTokens and accepts an optional font family. A test checks that the supplied font family is applied to the listed styles.

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a20c7

Bright custom themes may need a foreground override for readable buttons. The new token API also warrants an evolution decision before release; neither concern establishes a current blocker to merging.

A rabbit hops through tokens bright
And gathers scales in shades of light
Dark colors join the palette too
With type styles shaped from values true
The module rests in Compose’s care
A carrot toast floats through the air

91-91: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep future token additions off constructor and copy signatures.

Colors, ColorScale, ChromeScale, and Typography expose data-class constructors and copy methods whose JVM descriptors include their primary-constructor properties. Adding a token changes those descriptors. An already compiled Chat or Video call site that invokes an old constructor or copy can throw NoSuchMethodError when it runs with the newer artifact. Appending a property does not invalidate existing componentN methods.

AGENTS.md allows signature breaks when coordinated with version bumps, and this module and API dump are new in this PR. This is a future compatibility cost, not a break to an existing API. If token additions should remain binary-compatible, use regular @Immutable classes with private constructors and stable factories or builders. Poko alone does not address the public constructor’s changing descriptor.

bright brands use a contrasting foreground for both light and dark themes,
rather than always inheriting white from `Colors.default` or
`Colors.defaultDark`. Preserve white as the documented default where
appropriate, and add tests covering bright-brand contrast in both themes.

Looks good, I left mostly minor comments. The one thing I think is most important overall is to add annotation so we better define the public API boundary for the tokens.

…e api scope

- Annotate StreamDesign and StreamTokens with @StreamPublishedApi and the
  derived color tokens with @StreamInternalApi.
- Expose the radius tokens as Dp, with 9999.dp for radius-full as in the
  token source, so the module no longer needs foundation.
- Move the Compose BOM to the api scope so the api variant of the Gradle
  module metadata carries the versions.
- Include the module in coverage and fix KDoc copied from the wrong token.
