Primary button

A primary button allow users to take actions, and make choices, with a single tap.

Usage Guidelines

Buttons are aligned to the right hand side of a page. In some cases where there are form fields that need an approximate action, the button can be placed at the right end of a row if there are 1-3 form fields before.

Text label

Describe the action that will occur if a user taps a button. For maximum legibility, don’t wrap text.

Size

Buttons take the size of their container, spanning a minimum of 3 columns in the foundation grid.

Hierarchy

A layout should contain a single prominent button that makes it clear that other buttons have less importance in the hierarchy. Emphasis is conveyed with styling:

• High emphasis: Primary buttons
• Medium emphasis: Secondary buttons
• Low emphasis: Text links

Accessibility

Use a <button> tag with the appropriate class and a clear text label. Additional hidden text can be added to the label if context requires so.

Example Code

Link Button State

layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.myViewLayout);

AALinkButton linkbutton = new AALinkButton(this);
linkbutton.setText(R.string.tap_me);
linkbutton.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
linkbutton.type = AAButton.secondary;
linkbutton.theme = Aileron.default;
layout.addView(linkbutton);
