Give Your .NET MAUI Android Apps a Material 3 Makeover | Community Feed

Material 3 (Material You) support is here for .NET MAUI 10 on Android, and enabling it is as simple as adding <UseMaterial3>true</UseMaterial3> to your project file. This official blog post from Gerald Versluis provides the full picture — what it enables, what it looks like, and what’s still coming.

What you’ll learn

Enabling Material 3 with a single <UseMaterial3>true</UseMaterial3> property in your .csproj
Which controls are covered today: Entry, Editor, SearchBar, Picker, RadioButton, DatePicker, TimePicker, Switch, ProgressBar, Slider, CheckBox, Button, ImageButton, and Shell
What Material 3 brings visually: dynamic colour schemes, outlined text inputs with floating labels, Material DatePicker calendar overlay, and updated track/thumb designs
How explicit style overrides (BackgroundColor, TextColor, custom handlers) still take precedence over Material 3 defaults
What’s not yet covered: per-control opt-in, navigation chrome, CollectionView, and dynamic colour token APIs
How to opt back out by removing the property — your app reverts to Material 2 on the next build
