compose-samples VS architecture-components-samples

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.

check this out : https://github.com/android/compose-samples/tree/main/Crane

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.

https://github.com/android/architecture-components-samples/ was historically better

uh, maybe https://github.com/android/architecture-components-samples/tree/a87535608564103423415baddb1e586f0337be44/LiveDataSample/app/src/main/java/com/android/example/livedatabuilder

But Google invented a set of guidelines in "Guide to App Architecture" in 2017 which you can see here in action that after the re-org the new devrels didn't really understand so they ended up making their own version of "clean architecture" where the data layer depends on the domain layer and not vice versa, + never learned how top-level layering like this doesn't even scale ever and they should be creating components, not "layers".

5.) check the https://github.com/android/architecture-components-samples/ repo for samples (if it is a Google library, and only for some things)

When I take the advanced navigation project and update it's dependency to navigation 2.4.0 we get the working backstack as shown here.

That's still an issue .

Hey guys, Im trying to recognise more about api calls in a contemporary architecture. I am using retrofit with livedata/coroutines to make my api calls, but I'm struggling with error handling. Most of the solutions I find, even in googles own example, includes writing a wrapper around your api request and handle the error that. It seems overly complicated and frankly stupid to do something like that for, what I consider at least, rudimentary functionality. Even with Dart/Flutter, google has made this easy ‏‏‎ with async/await and Futures. Am I being lazy to think that if even google needs to write extra code to solve a common use case, they should probably add it to the framework? I dont know, maybe I just needed venting.. what do you think? google's project: https://github.com/android/architecture-components-samples/tree/master/GithubBrowserSample

/uj if you're reeeeaaaalyyyy interested, I found them here lol
