Hey Man, You doing a great job by providing these aesthetic tutorials free of cost, keep up the good work!

A lot of tutorials online and on youtube tend to be code-along style which is often bad for new learners. Most of the stuff end up forgotten and many features already used in code are unknown to them too. Like how to write first unit tests (but the test example code has DI, Room, MVVM etc). Better way would be how to write tests for basic sum methods , then for basic gestures , then for the view model and so on . Simple things first are the best way to go before more intermediate and practical stuff. Cheat-sheets are gold too. Tutorials covering them even more so . Video like this crash course is quite great .

Composable is very easy to understand if someone already had played with Dart/Flutter. Thanks for this Crash course!

I am from india and i loved ur content i started ur playlist from basics of kotlin... And ur way of explaning concept is ossum . thanks for this ossum content .....🔥🔥🔥🔥

To the point and no nonsense! I will keep this in my favourite list to revise the course when ever I need. Thank you Philipp!

Philipp, just wanna say big big thanks for your contributions you are really making a big difference in people's lives and for android development in general. I finally got an android job a month ago and your videos helped me big time through my journey. I am currently refactoring code with bad practices and your big focus on patterns and good code is making a difference even here in Sweden. Next I wanted to learn jetpack compose and boom, you come with an awesomely packaged video. Thanks again man and looking forward to more content.

Man, you've just inspired one more person to get back to his projects. I mean its illegal for recycler view to be so simple. You've got a talent to teach things.

Hey Philipp, ich hab bei dir häufig das Gefühl, dass du genau das Video machst, was ich in diesem Moment brauche. Nicht nur hier, sondern auch in vielen anderen Fällen in der Vergangenheit. Auch deine Shorts sind fast immer hilfreich! Vielen Dank für deinen absoluten top content!

No matter how much I thank you, I will never give you the thanks you really deserve, Philip ♥️ You are truly a person of great value to the Android and mobile developer community in general I wish you all the best and give us more ♥️🙏🇪🇬

Best android introduction, straight to point and gives you idea about how things work ui wise , how ui renders , kind of give beginners like me a starting point to explore. Just want to say thank you very much man, and really appreciate all of your efforts.

Man, i wish this type of vid was abailable on yt when i was just starting, this will be very helpful to new compose learners. Great content as always philipp

Using jetpack after a long time, needed the revision. Your video was a great help as it covers most of the points without wasting any time.

My senior recommends your channel for Compose tutorial, and this is just so easy to understand. Much thanks for the tutorial :D

if any1 hated writing "modifier = Modifier" as much as I did; (or something else I guess) Go to file->settings->Live Templates and press the "+" then put your preferred abbreviation, in my case "mod" and to Template text write "modifier = Modifier". Now, whenever you write mod and then press tab it autocompletes

Thank you so much for making this great tutorial!!! i have been wanting to create apps for so long and i never really liked the way designing UI worked, and i LOVE this way using code to make UI!

Great timing! Am actually converting an existing project from flutter to native for better performance and control of device sensors.

Just brilliant.. Excellent Phillip..I have been using Android XML files all these years.. U explained the basics of Jetpack Compose so well that makes u feel that it's easy, interesting and learnable . Thanks.

Thank you man, you make this community great!

For those who have issues with the newer versions, I found the issue (you need to remove the .fillMaxSize() of the Row and add it to the LazyColumn) : here is a repaired script : package com.example.myapplication import android.os.Bundle import android.util.Log import androidx.activity.ComponentActivity import androidx.activity.compose.setContent import androidx.compose.foundation.Image import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Arrangement import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Column import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Row import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Spacer import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxHeight import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxSize import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.padding import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.width import androidx.compose.foundation.lazy.LazyColumn import androidx.compose.foundation.lazy.LazyRow import androidx.compose.foundation.lazy.items import androidx.compose.foundation.text.BasicText import androidx.compose.material.icons.Icons import androidx.compose.material.icons.filled.Add import androidx.compose.material3.Button import androidx.compose.material3.ExperimentalMaterial3Api import androidx.compose.material3.Icon import androidx.compose.material3.MaterialTheme import androidx.compose.material3.OutlinedTextField import androidx.compose.material3.Surface import androidx.compose.material3.Text import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable import androidx.compose.runtime.getValue import androidx.compose.runtime.mutableStateOf import androidx.compose.runtime.remember import androidx.compose.runtime.setValue import androidx.compose.ui.Alignment import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Outline import androidx.compose.ui.res.painterResource import androidx.compose.ui.text.TextStyle import androidx.compose.ui.tooling.preview.Preview import androidx.compose.ui.unit.TextUnit import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp import androidx.compose.ui.unit.sp import com.example.myapplication.ui.theme.MyApplicationTheme class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() { @OptIn(ExperimentalMaterial3Api::class) override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContent { MyApplicationTheme { var name by remember { mutableStateOf("") } var names by remember { mutableStateOf(listOf()) } Column( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize() ) { Row ( ){ OutlinedTextField( value = name, onValueChange = {text -> name = text}, modifier = Modifier.weight(1f) ) Spacer(modifier = Modifier.width(16.dp)) Button(onClick = { if(name.isNotBlank()){ names += name } }) { Text(text = "Add") Icon(imageVector = Icons.Default.Add, contentDescription = "") } } LazyColumn(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()){ items(names){currentName-> Log.d("COMPOSE", "This get rendered $currentName") Text( text = currentName, modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize().padding(16.dp) ) } } } } } } }

i never worked with Compose, and just a little bit with XML. Also i started to learn Kotlin. And as an Professional Java Developer i can say: This Video is Awesom, with Compose App-Development feels easier like never before! Also i like that you share your knowlege with us! Good Job!

This is exactly what I needed in native Android development! The syntax is so cool and easy to understand if you are familiar with React or Flutter. Much better than XML of course! I think I might go all in native if I continue to use Jetpack Compose! Thanks a lot Phillip!

I am waiting for tutorials like this, thanks 👍

Hey, Philipp. Danke dir für all deine tollen Videos!! Du erklärst super gut und hilfst mir so sehr in verschiedene Topics einzusteigen und zu wissen, was man alles können sollte, um eine gute Android Developerin zu werden.

thank you for this guide. just got into kmp and was watching your video, when you you mentioned that you also have compose guides that one should watch so i did now. I am currently searching for a software dev job as i freshly graduated. But it takes so much time that i though fk it, i ll develope an app and publish it and your videos are a great entry

as new learner I can say it's one of the best video I found on youtube, thanks philipp

Thank you Philipp, this is so amazing tutorial with well summarized version of jetpack compose course. Great Work!!!

It's your the best video!!! And it's the best video in the history of online programming teaching!!!

Do more compose content, i see a lot of devs struggling with it. And i can totally relate, i'm glad i dived head first when it came out.

hi from Greece. You were the one who introduced me to xml and now you are the one who introduced me to compose. You explain things very well and the pace is just right. THANK YOU.

This video is very, very clear and easy to follow and understand. I'm very, very thankful for you, it makes me to start get the idea of jetpack compose, and for sure this is the future of Android UI Design

Thank you for this! I totally understand how advantageous Compose is compared to the old style. Now it's Compose for me all the way.

This tutorial was just great to get me up and going. I learned Java and XML in my uni course but I thought it would be better to switch to Kotlin and JetCompose. Thanks a lot for this man! Its much better than the tutorials on the android website

Thanks for this video, much valuable as I am entering this Kotlin - jetpack world from Php

I can't thank you enough, this is a great crash course for Jetpack compose

clear and concise intro to jetpack compose, thank you for sharing :)

This is exactly what I needed, thank you! Returning to Android development after not doing it for a few years, I was like, "What the heck is this Composable stuff?!"

Certainly found it helpful, very clear explanation. A huge thumbsup for the content.

From watching this video i learned a lot about compose. Thanks keep it up

Awesome! So cool! You and Compose is Amazing!

I've just started your compose play list. it's good you uploaded it thanks

Thanks for really well explaining the topic in simple terms!

Hi, I'm a c# programmer (Xamarin) Was curious about Android programming with Kotlin. Thanks for your good videos they help me a lot.

Hands down the best instruction I've seen on jetpack compose. And I've seen tons of vids and scads of websites. Thank you!

Thank you so much, it really helped me to understand the basics of Jetpack Compose and see the benefits of using it for my current project!

Amazing tutorial Bro, This introduction was really simple and helpful with clarity Thank you 🙏🙏

Hey Philip, Amazing job! This is so much better than the official videos provided by Google. Thank you! Keep it up. :D

The way it works it looks more like imperative than declarative. In declarative style the order usually doesn't matter, and here it does

I am Learning Compose, and Unlike many other ways of learning I have used before, I find mixing the Docs and Your tutorials Yours only, to be working. I dont want to go into the tutorial loop just yet, maybe later on when I get most of the basic conepts and can now make the skills as diverse as they can be

This new UI way seemed a little mixture of flutter and react and I love this

The Best Android Teacher!

Thank you as always Philipp Great job. Very useful

Thank you, this is great to start on jetpack compose

Glad i decided to check this video out before trying to learn with XML,

stumbled onto this, but it's really great!

Insane Video, Thank you very much for the introduction to Jetpack Compose! Your free content helped me so much! Thanks for everything Philipp.

Thank you Phillipp for these videos. These are gem.

i'm not watched fully video but yes i'm 100% sure this is best content. thanks in advance ♥

Came here to find out what is jetpack compose. And got the answer, thanks!

nice introduction to jetpack compose, thank you

Cool crash course man. No BS. Just to the point.

Thank you, that helped me to learn the basics

Phillipp, Thanks for your excellent content, if you make an entire Android course and Upload it to Udemy/RU-vid, which is ok if it is paid course which includes all basics and some projects that help many Android (jetpack) learners, you have a 10 week course on your official site. Still, as a student, that is not affordable, hope you keep this in your mind and make an excellent android course that can be enrolled by even students. Thank you again for your great content; I love you so much.

Excellent! Thank you so much this really helped me

Nice and Epic video for Jetpack compose learners

Easy to understand from flutter framework. Thanks a lot.

This video acctually did teach me a lot, thank you!

Amazing Content Phillip.

please make videos about jetpack compose more

One of the best tutorials for compose beginners

Thanks Philipp . You gave a better start to me.

Compose feels like Flutter which was inspired by React Native which a variation of React which was created a decade ago. I'm new to Android dev btw😇

Thank You, Philipp!

Thank you bro, very succinct and sweet summary

Thank you for the video, much appreciated!!!

Thank you Philipp!! :3

Totally awesome! Thank you for this information.

PHILLIPP YOU ARE THE MAN

Thanks for teaching me Compose, Ludwig

Thx for this updated video

Love this 😍

YOU ARE THE BEST ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Great video. I love this declarative way of UI programming. I did a lot QML before but now I have to switch to Kotlin and was really afraid of diving into XML^^ In your video there is just one point that I do not understand: why is it necessary to assign the new text value to the member text value inside the onValueChanged ? Actually I would assume that this slot is called when changing the member. At least in QML it is how it works.

Very informative and clear 👍

You got a new follower!

Thanks man, very helpful

As a React developer, this looks very familiar. Thanks for this

Coming from iOS development with SwiftUI it’s so funny seeing Google copying Apple. Makes it a lot easier to transition at least. Lol 19:56

Thank you so much, great examples!!

A good tutorial for beginners!

recompose-able is explained flawlessly, i am new to android, i am afraid of getting a start with android, and this lecture gave more insight into the Jetpack compose over xml views and to get started with android app development with ease and confidence. Lazy rendering is explained perfectly, earlier when i am using neovim editor i was getting confused about the buzz word lazy loading..hear you have explained this concept so simply...Thank you very much Philipp.

Thanks a lot for this video! Its brilliant! So understandable!

Hi Phillip, i appreciate your assistance with developers, but please make a video about how to use machine language in android apps

very good explanation, thanks.

this jetpack compose thing seems very similar to how react works, even with the possibility of embedding business logic within the UI code via lambdas. but i guess you also offload them into their own dedicated functions when working on bigger projects.

Great tutorial, easy to follow, thank you!

I wish you could make a video about how to use chatgpt to help us in learnding and doing android development with kotlin

Always top content 💯

Thank you for this excellent tutorial.

Great course. Just wondering what version Android Studio you using?
