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.
