According to the official release of Android, today, Google officially released version 1.0 of Jetpack Compose, which is a modern native UI toolkit for Android that can help you build better applications faster. This is a stable version of Compose, available for everyone to use in production.
Google said that when we released 1.0, more than 2,000 apps in the Play Store were already using Compose. In fact, the Play Store application itself is also using Compose, but that is not all. We have been working with some top application developers, and their feedback and support have helped us make the 1.0 version more powerful.
Google said that the purpose of designing Compose is to allow you to build native Android applications faster and easier. With a completely declarative approach, you only need to describe your user interface, and Compose takes care of the rest. As the state of the application changes, your UI will automatically update, which makes it easier to build UI quickly.
The intuitive Kotlin API can help you build beautiful applications with less code. Compose has native access to existing Android code, which means you can adapt it at your own pace. The powerful layout API and code-driven UI make it easier to adapt to devices of different specifications, such as tablets and foldable devices. Compose will also support more usage scenarios such as WearOS and Homescreen Widgets!
