Thinking in Compose

Jetpack Compose is the new next generation UI toolkit. It uses a declarative component based paradigm for building UIs easily and quickly. It’s written entirely in Kotlin and embraces the style and ergonomics of the Kotlin language.

[@Zhuinden]

18:04 separation of concerns, a really good explanation, I don't think I've seen this speaker before, but he REALLY does know his stuff, great video 100%

[@AndoNoSekai]

He'd better know his stuff, he is one of the architects of Compose. They should have done the same with the Data Binding library, then I wouldn't had to suffer from seeing people creating a mess when trying to use it

[@aiders4352]

@@AndoNoSekai Agree, data binding was never documented very well back in the beginning, it's still pretty poor in terms of official guidelines and recommendations. I've seen some real hideous use of it in my time.

[@someonlinevideos]

Shinigami Yagami just to drive the point home, this IS an answer to poor data binding documentation because it is an easier paradigm to understand that achieves the result with a lot less work and boilerplate

as someone who just started out with Kotlin and Android developement with jetpack Compose (coming from Java/Spring) I was really overhelmed by this approach very alien to me. After crwaling through many examples, I really liked this step back to look at the big picture. Great explaination here

I'm so greatful that I found out about the Compose. I come from React and I played a little bit with Flutter. Now I have to do Android Kotlin project for university course and this is heaven for me. All concepts are very familiar without even reading the docs. Classic Android UI with XML is way too heavy and unnecessarly complicated in my opinion. Building UI should be simple like Compose ;)

[@boygood4830]

actually you can use compose in xml by using , and use xml in Compose function by using AndroidView()

[@TheBlackManMythLegend]

very interesting.. woaw... the cohesion coupling clarification was also interesting. the fact that the same language allow to remove the implicit coupling ( hard to debug .... problems down the line for the complex UI) was great. to make it short . Thank you.

AliReza Beytari and SwiftUI and React Native. We’re seeing a consolidation around very reasonable to follow paradigma for asynchronous user interfaces that need to respond to many state changes. My bet is this paradigm would not have evolved natural in web land without mobile as quickly but I also expect to see this as the cross platform solution (not necessarily compose but why not) in a few years. React Native is already paving the way here

[@daschewie]

@@someonlinevideos Outside of XML based languages, similar syntax has been around on the desktop since 2009 with JavaFX Script and Qt QML. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaFX_Script and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QML

@@daschewie Thanks for sharing. Will have a look. Why do you believe these technologies are both A) were forgone in favor of declarative UI styles for both main mobile platforms and B) seeing a resurgence in both as well as in the React paradigms as well?

Switching between Kotlin and Flutter just got easier. This would require a shift in UI design thinking process for Android Developers.

[@hoxorious]

If I didn't need the iOS version of my apps, I would probably switch completely from Flutter to Kotlin.

Is there a way to factorise the style of the « Composable » graphical elements out of the business logic (e.g. like CSS for HTML)? If not, one ends up with a mess like « Flutter » in which layout, style and business logic are all mixed together in a giant soup.

Please is there a web page to see all possible composables one can use?

[@alexanderaftrolle7333]

Thank you for that great video! I'm so excited for Jetpack Compose. However, I'm confused about the 22:45 example, fetching the ViewModel inside a compose function. How would that work with previews? I guess you could have a "base" compose a function that fetches ViewModel & state or observer/s. Then call the ChatScreen() with either state or flow/observable to have preview functionality with ChatScreen function. Or is there a way to overwrite/declare a mock ViewModel scope for previews?

[@mehlyfication6990]

I'm highly interested in this too. Did you find an answer to your question already?

[@Akashpagol]

Great presentation! But boy I hate this idea of declarative UI paradigm thing. Yuuucck! But really great explanation from Leland.

[@moforemmanuel158]

I see Jetpack Compose as the next frontier of UI design it really eliminates the concepts of frontend and backend for client applications as it blends all in a Great way and making design parterns like MVVM almost a natural thing

[@TZCoder]

Feels a lot like React, the preview in AS is very slow still and there doesn't seem to be a live update like you have with React Native or Flutter but its early days I guess.

[@TalhaHasanZia]

1 step closer to Flutter Native (Android) :P

[@StraplessReligion]

nice

[@hirendesai8261]

is there any bug in android studio canary 4.2? cause whenever i make changes in jetpack compose app i need to uninstall the app and then have to install it again in order to see changes. I'm not able to see changes after running app or instant run feature.

[@KnoxCho]

The Compose slack link leads to kotlinlang group?

[@SouravBagchigoogleplus]

So we are slowly moving toward Flutter.

[@ellasaro]

8:30 why would ChatText be recomposed if text doesn't change? Doesn't Compose skip its recomposition whenever the input doesn't change?

[@AndoNoSekai]

Nice! No need for Fragments, Navigation Component, RecyclerView, ViewPager and all that other boilerplate! Finally I feel free to create engaging UIs! A few things are missing, but we are almost there

[@Zhuinden]

No need for Navigation component? Who's going to track the navigation state across process death? Of course, you can use my library too, but that's because they're on the same level of abstraction.

[@AndoNoSekai]

@@Zhuinden Navigation can be handle by Compose and single Activity apps are much more feasible

[@Zhuinden]

@@AndoNoSekai As long as you are acutely aware of still handling savedInstanceState and restoration of navigation state across process death, sure

[@AndoNoSekai]

@@Zhuinden Sure, that can be handled too. There are a few things missing to fully enable this nicely but it can be achieved

[@keithkaranu4258]

@@AndoNoSekai from what I understand that's not in the scope of compose.

Congrats to Android world as we have Compose in alpha now...

[@tricksilver04]

do we have pub.dev like component search for Jetpack Compose components?

[@pembatamang8233]

can't we choose which composables are recomposed? why recompose the circle image anyway. no need to use remember there. There should be an annotation like @ComposeOnce

[@keithkaranu4258]

From what I understand if done properly a recomposition shouldn't be an expensive operation.

[@wenlongteo6272]

Is it the same with Flutter UI?

[@0877adri]

Very similar yes, the flutter team helped to create compose as I heard. The speaker here comes I think originaly from the react world.

Android Development is like migrate your code in every 2 years to something different. Good side is you will never get bored they literally add new things too soon but down side it lot of work to do at same time to maintain code...

[@user-gu5ts5nx8r]

sounds like you are new to coding in general

[@the_gift_of_Allah]

There's a mistake in the code shown at 3:26 by looking at the example shown to the right of the code, I believe the second column declaration must've been a row declaration instead.
