Jetpack Compose: Beta overview 

Coming from a Flutter background and not having touched xml in a few years, this looks amazing.

Looks like the future of Android development is bright

This is probably best video on Compose I saw until now. It is short and to the point, concepts are followed by example. Excellent work, would love it if all Android Developers videos were like this.

This is just great! I feel so inspired! Please, keep it going :)

Coming from a flutter background, this is definitely amazing, I LOVE IT

Let’s start it!

Very good content in that video, helped me grasp most fundamentals of Compose quickly. Thank you!

Great Compose roundup @crafty!

This is a great succinct and well build video tutorial. All Android dev videos from Google should have this quality 👌

Brilliant video!

R.I.P. Dart

am not getting 'Empty Compose Activity' in my canary build help!

Exited to use this

Brilliant!

So we react now? I gotta update the state here aswell

Exited to try the Jetpack Composer.

I love you guys

Remember property had similiar function as useRef hook's on React isn't it?

Is it work with Android studio beta?

Is it working with Android studio

Looks really great!

Great !!!

for 3rd party libraries, do we still need to use a view system till they make them compatible to compose?

che figata!!!

Tnx

How compose can work with paging library?

I'm coding with compose now~~

Is this production ready now? Or should I wait for the full release?

This will make our lives better.

Although I really like xml and I think it's fairly simple, this looks really good, looking forward to try it

Good news！

I just spent the last 2 weeks diving into Compose. About one minute before this video was posted, I was about to ditch Compose. It was very unstable, had performance issues and had massive issues when it came to getting all the androidx dependencies to work together. I would have told anyone to stay away from it for any new app development. But now that they released their first beta, I'll give it one last try.

Jetpack Compose is in Beeetha

there is no seekbar in compose

Give us that dam compose stable version

Wow finally, web has this for couple years

I still don't understand the distinction. "It says what it should look like, not how to produce it". They keep saying this! Like it makes some sort of sense... I understand the words, but they make no conceptual sense. I have never written code that describes how something should ve drawn vs what it should look like as far as I know... how would you describe what something looks like in code vs how do you produce it???

I'm in love with the compose idea mainly because I really HATE the view styling system with its deeper to hell inheritance hierarchy and no guarantee that any view will respect of standards. Debug styling on view world is often take a bath on Android versions history... ("This style have a parent of a parent, of a parent from HOLO? Why?"). In contrast, style in compose seems to be so easy because all the responsibility was took out from graphics components. There is no hidden tricks to make a component look like you want. You have colors, and shapes and typography, and that's it. If you want different appearance to a component, you just compose it! If you want some different component into your action bar, just directly put what you want the the right slot.

declerative is the best way to write ui

In 10 years maybe it will be production ready and adopted by companies

I have start learning compose very easy to make UI but still need to learn more..👍👍🚴

Please please improve it's performance. I installed the jetnews app and It's very very slow. There is no point of developing apps that no one will use.

wow looks so much like flutter now.

actually, a flutter with kotlin

Basically, flutter on steroids. 😅

So Android become Flutter now :D

heavily inspired by React

Whats the point of this? Why make another redundant technology like flutter?

flutter !!

flutter be part in android native right now , don't kill flutter please
