Hey, is there a way to implement material theming using the material3 library in wearos ? I found some issues when defining the theme using the m3 theme builder and using the same color variables (primary, secondary, tertiary)?

I doubt I can answer, but just to confirm do you mean converting from

https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/[…]c/commonMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/material3/ColorScheme.kt

to

https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:wear/com[…]/src/main/java/androidx/wear/compose/material3/ColorScheme.kt

Hi - we are building out support for Material3 on Compose for Wear OS in parallel with development of the Material libraries (see latest alpha material3 release here - https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/wear-compose#1.0.0-alpha14) - this includes a Material3 theme and some of the basic components. However, some key components for building apps, such as the Scaffold, are not yet available.

i've been using these:

implementation("androidx.wear.composecompose material1.2.1")

implementation("androidx.wear.composecompose foundation1.2.1")

but it relating to the package .material, not .material3 as such package is not found in version 1.2.1.

@stevebower found the mentioned library in https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/androidx.wear.compose/compose-material3
...
im relying on the scaffold for displaying the ui based on states, also, im using the material colors so, is there an idea about how to applying m3? in the official docs they mention about material 😢

[marlonlom]

@yschimke yes ...

[stevebower]

Material3 is a step change from Material in terms of the design system, so the Material3 theme is not compatible with the Material components.

[marlonlom]

@stevebower oh, but, in material3 alpha library, there are some ui composables, afaik, one of the main ones (theme, scaffold) are not available yet, am i right?

@yschimke androidx.wear.compose.material.Colors to androidx.wear.compose.material3.ColorScheme 👍
