Coil VS accompanist

For image loading, I used the rememberImagePainter() composable function from the coil image loading library.

Unfortunately there is still no support for applying transformations to placeholders 😞

You can also take a look at Coil, Picasso or Glide which usually have some kind of crossfade animation when the image loads.

u/khaled2252 Thank you for the reply. I do use images and for loading images, I am relying on coil-compose library. I also had the similar thought like yours and only used simple

The truly disheartening part is that whenever you choose something that works, for example ViewPager1, you need to defend that yes, this thing actually works as intended, yes, there's nothing in it that would "break over time" just because Googlers added the @Deprecated on it, and yes, you still don't want to use Compost for this because you still cannot scroll vertically in a horizontal Pager if your view is a WebView.

Compose on the other hand came out half-baked, significant performance issues, missing features, bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs.

Just to add to the list, Accompanist is a collection of compose libraries that helps a lot with some features. I can recommend Navigation-Animationand Permissions. https://github.com/google/accompanist

To give a bit of context, libraries not released as Jetpack libraries as experiment projects. Once they're released as Jetpack libraries, we have stricter release schedule in place and more resources to provide better stability for developers. That's why some Accompanist libraries end up as part of Compose foundation set, while others are still being shipped as part of the Accompanist project.

So you're going to get support for Parcelables in argument passing, animation support without having to fear crashes, and if you drink the ScopedServices koolaid you even get to get DI with lifecycle management and scope inheritance.

Here's a fun bug though https://github.com/google/accompanist/issues/1233

There is a bug the preview is not working when System UI controller is used. See issue tracker here.

👋 I have been using Mobius personally and for work for over two years now. It's a lot of fun to use and I would definitely recommend the community to consider using it. I frequently visit their GitHub repo because they still have their documentation in the GitHub wiki, unlike new repos such as Accompanist. So, I thought what better way to give back than do the grunt work of porting their wiki to GitHub Pages + MkDocs ❤️🔥

Accompanist for unofficial stuff that's still useful
