Chips are compact elements that represent an input, attribute, or action. Chips allow users to enter information, make selections, filter content, or trigger actions. Chips should appear dynamically as a group of multiple interactive elements. Unlike buttons, which should be a consistent and familiar call to action, one that a user expects to appear as the same action in the same general area.
The Chip android component is provided by the Material Components Library.
A Chip represents a complex entity in a small block, such as a contact. It is a rounded button that consists of a label, an optional chip icon, and an optional close icon. A chip can either be clicked or toggled if it is checkable.
Chips may be placed in a ChipGroup, which can be configured to lay out its chips in a single horizontal line or reflowed across multiple lines. If a chip group contains checkable chips, it can also control the multiple-exclusion scope for its set of chips so that checking one chip unchecks all other chips in the group.
