Product Description

Side menu, app bar and tab labels now use the design system type scale.

Before:
side bar app bar _ tab label

After:
Side bar Tab + Toolbar

Technical Summary

Toolbar, tab and side-menu labels now take their kit styles. Drawer colours move to a theme role.

Safety Assurance

Safety story

What gives confidence

  • I checked the side bar, app bar and tab labels on device.
  • Resolved sizes and colours measured against the kit on every label.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Toolbar title and subtitle, the tab strip and the side-menu rows now take
their styles from the Connect type scale rather than local values.

The drawer applies its style through style= rather than android:textAppearance,
which does not take effect at inflation in these layouts - the sizes those
appearances declared were never rendering. Drawer text colour moves to a new
connectNavDrawerForeground role so the layouts stop naming colours directly.

Suggested Review Order

  • app/res/values/attrs.xml — declares the new connectNavDrawerForeground colour role
  • app/res/values/themes.xml — gives that role a value on ConnectTheme, and adds Widget.Connect.Toolbar carrying the kit's title and subtitle appearances
  • app/res/layout/nav_drawer_list_item.xml — the drawer row; shows the style= / ?attr/ pattern the other two drawer layouts follow
  • app/res/layout/nav_drawer_header.xml, nav_drawer_footer.xml — same pattern applied to the person name, manage-profile line, menu rows and version string
  • app/res/layout/fragment_connect_delivery_home.xml — one line, the tab strip's text appearance

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The delivery tab now uses a Connect text style. Navigation drawer layouts use theme-based colors and Connect text styles. ConnectTheme now defines a navigation-drawer foreground attribute and a toolbar style with Connect title and subtitle text appearances.

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3ff9e

The Connect messaging toolbar will keep its parent-theme typography instead of matching the requested UI-kit styles. A Connect-specific overlay is a localized fix; the remaining impact is bounded to visual consistency.

Material Components Android 1.3.0 ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Dark.ActionBar toolbarStyle source

💡 Result:

In Material Components Android **1.3.0**, `ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Dark.ActionBar` is defined as an alias of AppCompat’s dark ActionBar overlay:

```xml
<style name="ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Dark.ActionBar"
    parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
```

So it **does not itself set `toolbarStyle`**; it inherits the AppCompat overlay’s behavior. The 1.3.0 source file couldn’t be fetched directly in this search, so this snippet is corroborated by a generated resource listing rather than the version-tagged source. ([github.com](https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/crashlytics-migration-android/blob/master/Firebase/app/build/intermediates/incremental/mergeDebugResources/merged.dir/values/values.xml?utm_source=openai))

If you want to set a toolbar’s default widget style, put `toolbarStyle` in your app theme, pointing to a `Widget.MaterialComponents.Toolbar` style. The dark ActionBar overlay is a separate theme overlay, commonly applied to the app bar or toolbar.

AndroidX AppCompat 1.7.0 ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar toolbarStyle source

💡 Result:

For **AndroidX AppCompat 1.7.0**, `ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar` is a theme overlay—not a toolbar widget style. The Android reference describes it as applying dark-version colors and changing the default control color to the primary text color. ([developer.android.com](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appcompat/R.style?utm_source=openai))

To set the AppCompat toolbar’s default `toolbarStyle`, add it to your overlay:

```xml
<style name="MyToolbarOverlay"
    parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
    <item name="toolbarStyle">@style/MyToolbarStyle</item>
</style>
```

The sources I found don’t expose the exact **1.7.0** resource-file contents, so I can’t verify that version’s full style definition here. The current AndroidX source is not pinned to 1.7.0.

Apply the Connect toolbar style to the messaging toolbar.

ConnectMessagingActivity uses CommonTheme.NoActionBar, not ConnectTheme. Its ToolbarThemeOverlay is also used by activity_personalid_profile.xml, so adding the Connect style to that shared overlay would affect a non-Connect screen. The messaging toolbar therefore falls back to the parent theme's toolbar style and does not receive TextStyle.Connect.TitleM or TextStyle.Connect.LabelS.

Suggested fix
+    <style name="ConnectToolbarThemeOverlay" parent="ToolbarThemeOverlay">
+        <item name="toolbarStyle">@style/Widget.Connect.Toolbar</item>
+    </style>
+
     <style name="ToolbarThemeOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.Dark.ActionBar">
         <item name="colorOnPrimary">@color/white</item>
     </style>
-            android:theme="@style/ToolbarThemeOverlay"/>
+            android:theme="@style/ConnectToolbarThemeOverlay"/>
