# Learn Jetpack Compose By Example
  
Over the course of the last few years Android development has gone
through significant changes in how we structure our apps, the language
we use for development, the tooling & libraries that help us speed up
our development and the improvements in testing our apps. What had not
changed in all these years is the Android UI toolkit. This changes with
Jetpack Compose that aims to re-imagine what Android UI development
would look like using declarative programming principles. It is heavily
influenced by existing web and mobile frameworks such as React, Litho,
Vue & Flutter and would be a paradigm shift in Android UI development as
we know it.
This repository aims to show the Jetpack Compose way of building common
Android UI that we are accustomed to building.

Setup
-----
To try out this sample app, you need to at least use the latest version
of Android Studio. This project has been tested against Android Studio Artic Fox.
[You can download it here](https://developer.android.com/studio/preview).
In general, Jetpack Compose requires you to use the Canary version of
Android Studio.
Examples
-----------------
Each example is meant to be self contained and tries to explain all the
concepts that its using with comments. Compose also comes with this
nifty feature that lets you preview each component in the IntelliJ IDE
itself. To do so, go to any of the examples and then click on
the preview button in the top right corner. This is possible if your
`@Composable` component has a corresponding `@Preview` method associated
with it. Look at the examples below for all this to make a bit more
sense.
