Book Description
Android Jetpack Compose is a new way of building modern Android apps in Android app development. The software development industry is moving away from the imperative approach of building apps—where developers were required to write a lot of boilerplate code, navigate through inconsistent APIs, and hard to maintain code to build simple mobile apps. With Jetpack Compose, building Native UI for the Android platform is more effortless, concise, consistent, and has less code.
In this course, you will start with learning about Jetpack Compose and its advantages over the imperative way of building Android apps. You will look at Kotlin programming basics, intermediate and advanced concepts. You will look at core Jetpack Compose concepts: composable functions, compose layout widgets, and modifiers, and understand how Jetpack Compose handles state—recomposition and state hoisting. You will understand how MutableState and Flow work with composable functions; master how to build various Jetpack Compose apps that range from simple to complex (tip calculator, movie app, note app, trivia app, weather forecast app, and so much more); and build a lot of apps while learning Jetpack Compose.
By the end of the course, you will have learned everything you need to know about Kotlin and Jetpack Compose to build complex Native UIs and Android apps with Jetpack Compose.
