Backpack Design System

Backpack Android

Backpack is a collection of design resources, reusable components and guidelines for creating Skyscanner's products.

Installation

Backpack is available through Jitpack. To install all of it, add the following line to your build.gradle (in your app module) in the dependencies block:

implementation 'com.github.skyscanner:backpack-android:3.2.0'

If your app resolves dependencies through Jitpack you're all set, if not add in your root build.gradle

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

Note that Backpack is expected to be used with AndroidX. Please refer to AndroidX migration guide to setup.
