Compose performance - Android Developers Backstage

What an episode! Incredible content guys!

I don't know why but .. XML feels more comfortable for me than Compose. I feel that XML gives more control over UI and Application as compared to Compose. I would like to have a conversation if anyone can join.

this is very interesting and knowledgeable, thanks this really amazing!

So, when are they going to spill the beans about Compose being discontinued? 😄 But jokes aside, I must say that the idea behind Compose is pretty cool, though the execution needs some work. You know, we've seen how badly the Threads app performs, especially on those not-so-fancy devices. I think there are two critical issues with Compose that need some TLC: 1. Performance: Even if you do everything right and follow all those official guidelines, it's a bummer to see the performance go down, especially on budget phones. 2. User-friendliness: Don't get me wrong, Compose is a game-changer, but it can be a bit tricky to get the hang of it. There are so many gotchas, and it doesn't cut much slack for developer mistakes. I mean, we've got to follow all these rules, and sometimes they make the whole declarative thing lose its charm. Sure, we can whip up a screen pretty quickly, but dealing with state and data flow feels like a tightrope walk, where a tiny misstep can cost you big time. Let's hope they sort these things out and make Compose even more awesome! 🚀

I was hopping to get a bit of LazyColumns performance :(

Thanks, just moved the sorting to the VM

Interesting chat, thanks for sharing!

whenever we load a compose view inside a view holder of native recycler view there is a lag when the view comes for the first time but after that scrolling becomes smooth. what is the reason for this and is there any way to fix it ?

Compose perfomance again😁

The problem with Compose is that it comes with so many caveats. Stick with views. Proven and reliable. Also, the Threads app version done in Compose is not great, and I believe it has been withdrawn.
