compose-samples VS simple-stack-compose-integration

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.

Yup, that's why we're working on https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack-compose-integration/ to make it as simple as backstack.goTo(SomeScreenKey(arg1, arg2)) instead of this navController.navigateTo("some/screen&arg1=${UrlEncoder.encode(arg1.toBase64())} stuff. If you are working on an Android app that will always be on Android-only, why would you inherit limitations from Kotlin Multi-platform?

We have https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack-compose-integration/ but the fact that I'd normally prefer to use fragments kinda holds it back

Simple-Stack-Compose https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack-compose-integration

However, it's worth noting that thanks to a guy named @matejdro we are working on a pure-Compose version, in which setup has been reduced to

And ,yes, although not being made for Compose, also Simple stack :)

i'd love to recommend simple-stack-compose-integration but i never wrote this missing link

Using any of the 5 prominent community alternatives is a better approach (even though most people hoping to use the docs as if it was like, written for stable code, will muck around with their apps crashing if the user inputs a & symbol). I have this thing but I'd consider taking a look at https://github.com/adrielcafe/voyager or maybe https://github.com/olshevski/compose-navigation-reimagined

If you're deadset on full compose navigation I'd check out Zhuinden`s simple-stack-compose-integration

I'm almost tempted to use multiple ComposeViews, but I'm definitely not using 1 ComposeView N composables any time soon, even though technically I have the code to support it.
