At Google I/O 2026, Material Android announced that we're "all-in" on Compose, alongside the official Android Compose-first announcement, marking a new chapter in Android development.
This means that the Views-based Material Components for Android library (MDC-Android) is now in maintenance mode.
There are no more planned feature releases for Views, so all projects using the Views library should begin or continue migrating to Compose to get the latest Material Design and Android platform updates.

For usage questions: ask on Stack Overflow.
Bugs or feature requests should be submitted at our GitHub Issues section.
Note: If your issue or feature request is for Material Jetpack Compose, please file it at the Compose Issue Tracker instead.
