Description

Jetpack Compose is Android’s new framework for building fast, beautiful, and reliable native user interfaces. It simplifies and significantly accelerates UI development on Android using the declarative approach. This book will help developers to get hands-on with Jetpack Compose and adopt a modern way of building Android applications. The book is not an introduction to Android development, but it will build on your knowledge of how Android apps are developed. Complete with hands-on examples, this easy-to-follow guide will get you up to speed with the fundamentals of Jetpack Compose such as state hoisting, unidirectional data flow, and composition over inheritance and help you build your own Android apps using Compose. You'll also cover concepts such as testing, animation, and interoperability with the existing Android UI toolkit. By the end of the book, you'll be able to write your own Android apps using Jetpack Compose.

Who is this book for?

This book is for any mobile app developer looking to understand the fundamentals of the new Jetpack Compose framework and the benefits of native development. A solid understanding of Android app development, along with some knowledge of the Kotlin programming language, will be beneficial. Basic programming knowledge is necessary to grasp the concepts covered in this book effectively.

Excellent book which helping to get information regarding basics...

Samuel Stegall Mar 30, 2022

Android UI Development with Jetpack Compose is a great resource for learning Jetpack Compose, Google's new declarative UI library for Android. The book does a great job of covering all of the high-points of things that you would want to learn when covering the different corners of the library. Some important topics covered are state management, themes, animations, and integrating composables with the traditional .xml layout system more commonly found throughout Android apps.If I were to point out flaws in the book, I would focus on two: 1. I think the book's coverage of Material You is a bit lacking. I would have liked to get deeper coverage of this topic, since it is going to be more and more important as more devices adopt Android 12 and beyond. 2. The book may seem a little bit light if you're focusing on just what is in the pages. But fortunately on this second point, if you download the code repos that go along with the book, you can code along and get much more context for the topics being discussed. If you code along, this book jumps to a 5-star book in my opinion. You really get a lot of experience if you code along.This book sits in a special place for me. I'm onboarding to a new mobile development job, and have now read and coded through 4 different Android programming books as a result, two of which cover Jetpack Compose. This app was my final book to go through in my practice, and was also the one that inspired me to create and publish an app to Google Play. Thanks to this book and my studying through it, I am now a published developer on Google Play, and comfortably onboarded into my new mobile developer role. I'm really excited about my job, and I'm very excited to see what new things come from the Android ecosystem.

Excelente libro para iniciarse en creación de apps android con jetpack compose, bien estructurado, con ejemplos y texto muy claros para entender el concepto y aplicar compose

Daniel Butler Feb 21, 2022

This is a very well-structured book and a must-have for Android Developers of all levels looking for a well-rounded overview of Jetpack Compose. The changes that compose bring to Android Development will have a vast impact on how we build apps in the future and I feel that this book covers every area of importance. This book is very concise and the sections are well thought out, this book also contains several tutorial sections which are useful for those that learn by building like me.This book is not purely restricted to building UIs, crucial topics such as navigation with compose, interoperability with the Android View system, testing, and architecture are all covered. After reading this I not only feel more comfortable building new apps with Jetpack Compose but I also now possess further knowledge on how to integrate compose with older projects.This book also does a good job of providing small details such as the specific versions of dependencies and versions of Android Studio used for the tutorials so misconfiguration issues are limited. Another section that I found useful was the one on previews, being able to preview the UI without running the app is a key feature in Jetpack compose and the author does well to explain the common issues with previews and how to get the most out of them. Overall 10/10

Android UI Development with Jetpack Compose: Bring declarative and native UIs to life quickly and easily on Android using Jetpack Compose
