Introduction
Jetpack Compose is one of the recent attempts from Google to make it easy for Android developers to build UI.
“Jetpack Compose is a modern toolkit for building native Android UI. Jetpack Compose simplifies and accelerates UI development on Android with less code, powerful tools, and intuitive Kotlin APIs.” — Android Developers
Jetpack Compose recently moved to beta. This means there will no longer be any drastic changes in the API structure, so it would be a great time to learn how to work with this next-generation UI kit for Android development.
You will need to install Android Studio Canary, Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) version to use the Jetpack Compose beta.
