Batik is an Indonesian cultural heritage with high historical, philosophical, and aesthetic value and has been recognized as a world cultural heritage. However, the process of learning and disseminating information about batik motifs is still dominated by conventional methods such as printed books and direct visits to galleries, which are considered less flexible and less attractive to the digital generation. This study aims to design and implement an Android-based application for recognizing Indonesian batik motifs as a digital educational medium that is easily accessible and systematic. The software development method used is the Waterfall model, which includes the stages of needs analysis, system design, implementation, and testing. The interface design was carried out using Adobe XD to produce a prototype that takes into account aspects of usability and design consistency. The system implementation was carried out using Android Studio with the Java programming language based on a modular Activity architecture and Intent navigation. Testing was carried out using the Black-Box Testing method to ensure all functions run according to specifications. The results of the study show that the application is able to display a list and details of batik motifs in a structured, responsive, and stable manner on standard Android devices. Thus, this application has the potential to become an alternative medium for mobile learning-based cultural learning that supports the digitalization and preservation of Indonesian batik more broadly and is adaptive to technological developments.
