Thanks for the TV Design Guidelines

Designing an Android TV app UI/UX in Figma requires understanding the TV interface's unique challenges, such as remote navigation, focus states, and large-screen usability. Since you want natural relevance to Magis TV, consider these steps:

1. Understand Android TV UI Guidelines

Google provides Android TV Design Guidelines, which emphasize:

• 10-foot UI experience (designed for viewing from a distance)
• D-pad & remote navigation (no touchscreen)
• Focus states & selection indicators
• Large touch targets (minimum 48dp)
• Consistent typography & spacing

2. Study Magis TV's UI/UX

Magis TV is a streaming app, so its UI should:

• Prioritize content discovery (rows of thumbnails, like Netflix)
• Have clear categories & recommendations
• Use a dark theme (common in streaming apps)
• Include intuitive navigation for users with remotes

3. Set Up a Figma Design File for Android TV

• Frame Size: Use 1920x1080 (Full HD) or 1280x720 (HD) for layout.
• Grids & Layouts: Use a 12-column grid with safe margins for overscan areas.
• Typography: Use Roboto or any Android-supported font.
• Colors & Contrast: Ensure readability with high contrast.

4. Design Key Screens in Figma

• Home Screen: Rows of content categories (Trending, Live, Favorites, etc.)
• Player Screen: Video player with controls (pause, subtitles, quality, etc.)
• Search & Voice Input: A clean UI with keyboard and voice search options.
• Settings Page: Subscription, preferences, and account management.

5. Focus on Navigation & Interaction

• Highlight Focus States: Use glowing effects, shadows, or borders to show selection.
• D-pad Navigation: Ensure users can move up/down/left/right without confusion.
• Lazy Loading for Content: Optimize the UI to load more content smoothly.

6. Prototype & Test in Figma

• Use Figma’s Prototyping Mode to simulate navigation.
• Test on a large screen to ensure readability.
• Get feedback from users who use Magis TV.

1. Set Frame Size → Use 1920x1080 px (Full HD) or 1280x720 px (HD) to match TV resolutions.
2. Follow TV UI Guidelines → Use Google’s Android TV Design Guidelines for navigation, focus states, and accessibility.
3. Remote-Friendly Navigation → Design with D-Pad navigation in mind (Up, Down, Left, Right, OK). Avoid touch-based gestures.
4. Focus States → Highlight selected elements with color changes, scaling, or shadows to improve visibility.
5. Simple Layout → Use large cards & text for better readability from a distance.
6. Dark Mode UI → TVs look better with dark themes—helps with eye strain and blends with Magis TV APK aesthetics.
7. Grid-Based Content Browsing → Design rows of thumbnails for categories like Live TV, Movies, and Series.
8. Test with Prototypes → Use Figma’s interactive components to simulate remote control navigation.

✔️ Design a Netflix-like home screen with featured banners.
✔️ Use category-based horizontal scrolling for Live TV, Sports, Movies.
✔️ Add a search & filter option for a smooth user experience.
✔️ Create a settings page for account management and streaming quality controls.

Set 1920x1080px or 1280x720px frame. Follow Android TV UI guidelines for D-Pad navigation, focus states, and accessibility. Use large text, dark mode, and grid-based layouts like Magistv pro. Design Netflix-like home screen, category scrolling, search, and settings. Test with Figma prototypes.

In addition to the points already mentioned, you might also focus on optimizing typography (large, readable fonts from a distance) and keeping enough spacing between elements to avoid a cluttered look on TV screens. If possible, test your prototypes with a remote or emulator to validate the actual navigation experience, since Figma alone may not capture the feel of D-Pad interactions.

In addition to the points already mentioned, it’s important to optimize typography with large, easily readable fonts and provide generous spacing between elements to prevent a cluttered appearance on MagisTV screens. Whenever possible, test prototypes with a remote or emulator to validate real navigation, as Figma alone may not fully reflect the D-Pad interaction experience.
