Jetpack Compose.md

Intro

Jetpack Compose is a suite of libraries within the AndroidX ecosystem. For more information, see our project page

Syntax

Jetpack Compose uses composable functions instead of XML layouts to define UI components. You can see this in action in the demos, like androidx.ui.material.demos.ButtonDemo.kt. More information can be found in the compiler README.

You may notice some parts of the codebase use an XML-like syntax. This was an exploration done early on in the project, and we have since decided to move away from it. Usages of this syntax will eventually be converted to use the standard kotlin DSL instead.

Compiler

Composable functions are built using a custom Kotlin compiler plugin. More information about the compiler plugin is available in this README.

mkdir /bin PATH=/bin:$PATH

curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo chmod a+x ~/bin/repo git config --global user.name "Your Name" git config --global user.email "you@example.com"

mkdir ~/jetpackCompose cd ~/jetpackCompose

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b androidx-master-dev

repo sync -j8 -c

cd ~/jetpackCompose/frameworks/support/ui

Structure

Modules

Right now we have the following dependencies:

• compose-runtime: Mandatory to run the current compose version

• ui-framework: Module that collects all demos across ui and packages them into one demo APK

• ui-layout: Base components exposed by the system as building blocks. This includes Draw, Layout, Text, etc.

• ui-material: Basic layout components

• ui-tooling: Preview component

• ui-animation: Wrappers and adapters for existing Android Views

• ui-animation-core: Animation components

• ui-core: Internal declarations for the animations system

• ui-platform: Set of UI components built according to the Material spec

• ui-text: Testing framework

• ui-text-core: Base Text composable

• ui-text-android: Text engine that contains base text components

• ui-test: Internal implementation that allows separation of android implementation from host-side tests
