Exciting news from the team at Codia! 🌟 We're thrilled to announce that our groundbreaking Figma plugin, Design2Code, now supports direct conversion to Android! This marks a significant step in our mission to streamline the design-to-code process, and we're eager for you all to experience it.

You can try the Codia plugin to observe how the figma design draft is represented in android.

1. How to use Codia figma plugin for Android ​

Taking the Codia Playground design draft as as example. Whether you turn on Dev Mode or not, Codia support both.

1.1. Dev Mode ​

In the upper right corner of the browser, search codia, and then double click Codia-AI Figma to code plugin to run it.

1.2. Disable Dev Mode ​

In the upper left corner of the browser, search codia, and then double click Codia-AI Figma to code plugin to run it.

Whether or not Dev Mode is turned on affects where you find plugins. When turn on Dev Mode, look for the codia plugin in the upper right corner of the browser. When turn off Dev Mode, look for the plugin in the upper left corner of the browser.

1.4. Select Figma Draft ​

Select the figma design draft to generate code. It is recommended to select a complete part, like a login page or a chats page, but you can also select only a certain UI element.
A preview of the selected UI element can be seen in the "Codia AI Figma to code" plugin. Click the "Lock" icon above the plugin to unlock it, and then select other UI elements to switch the preview object.
