Coil VS compose-samples

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 official documentation provides a comprehensive guide on the basics of Jetpack Compose, components, layouts, theming, and more advanced topics.

Apparently Jetpack Compose is an Android copy of SwiftUI?

Only two HN threads with comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=jetpack+compose

If you want to take a look at code, we have the Jetnews sample app that support different screen sizes. And Jetcaster also implements features such as table top mode.

So I would say that instead if learning everything from Android SDK, you should just set a goal to create some app. Learn about Activities, their lifecycle, layouts (or Compose if you want to be more up to date). Try to implement your app based on this. Then improve your app using Fragments and their lifecycle. If you truly want to understand Views, which are essentially the building blocks of Android UI then I would recommend implementing your own custom View, which will have completely custom look - it is cool thing to try and you will learn how it all works inside.

The compose samples by Google are a good reference to look into: https://github.com/android/compose-samples

Basic understanding of Jetpack Compose.

The compose-samples repo has a comprehensive list of samples ranging from low to complex projects which might be worth a look.

For instance, there is a link to this repository, that contains all sorts of samples, that are up to date and ready to use. That's cutting edge, which is a recommended start.
