In this Jetpack Compose tutorial, you’ll learn to use the new declarative UI framework being developed by the Android team by creating a cookbook app.
Released in July 2021, Jetpack Compose is a UI toolkit that updates the process of building Android apps. Instead of XML, you use Kotlin code to declaratively specify how the UI should look and behave in various states. You don’t have to worry how the UI moves among those states – Jetpack Compose takes care of that. You’ll find it familiar if you’re acquainted with declarative web frameworks such as React, Angular or Vue.
The Jetpack Compose approach is a significant departure from Android’s original XML UI toolkit, now called Views. Views was modeled after old desktop UI frameworks and dates to Android’s beginning. In Views, you use a mechanism such as findViewById() or view binding to connect UI elements to code. This imperative approach is simple but requires defining how the program moves among states and how the UI should look and behave in those states.
