Building an Android UI using declarative programming in Jetpack Compose by Robert Söderbjörn
In the summer of 2021, Google released Jetpack Compose 1.0: Android's completely new native user interface toolkit written from the ground up with modern requirements in mind. Gone are the days of tweaking XML files, programmatically mutating user interface controls, introducing bugs caused by inconsistent data flow and writing endless boiler-plate code. The future is here now, and this means a declarative way of specifying the user interface from a single source of truth using a uni-directional data flow, making Android developers much more productive and happy! In this talk, which assumes no previous Android knowledge, I will briefly introduce you to the new future of Android UI development and show you hands-on what code targeting Jetpack Compose using Kotlin can look like.
