I'm looking to apply Material Design into my app. I've read about using material themes and about how I can customise these with my own colours from the Android Developer website, however the webpage only describes a few of the material design attributes I can use in my themes.xml.

The webpage only refers to the main theming attributes:
- colorPrimary: The app's main branding colour
- colorPrimaryDark: A darker variant used for status bars and contextual app bars
- colorAccent: The accent colour, to theme some UI controls

It also describes some other attributes shown in the diagram below:

However, I want to know all of the different theming attributes that can be applied to a material design theme. For example, I know there are other attributes such as colorButtonNormal, but I want to know the full list of these attributes and what they each do.

I don't think that there's a detailed description of each attribute. You can dive into the sources and try to guess the purpose of each attribute. See: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/refs/heads/master/core/res/res/values/themes_material.xml
