Jetpack Compose by Tutorials (First Edition): Building Beautiful UI With Jetpack Compose

Jetpack Compose is hyping up everyone in the Android UI toolkit world. This completely new and modern solution to building declarative user interfaces provides more opportunity than ever to create beautiful, reactive and animated apps.

However, because of its early-in-development status, Jetpack Compose is missing one of the most important pieces of successful software: detailed documentation. That’s why we’ve prepared a whole book’s worth of documentation for you!

Jetpack Compose By Tutorials is here to help, by showing you exactly how Compose works, what its fundamental components are and how you can use them to build complex real-world apps!

This book is for all Android developers who have experience with the legacy UI Toolkit through XML and View components, but who are looking for a fresh, reusable, clean and easy-to-use solution to reduce their boilerplate code while building stunning user interfaces.

• Fundamentals: Core Jetpack Compose elements and functions
• Combining components: Mixing different layouts and building beautiful interfaces
• State Management: State wrappers, LiveData observables and UI recomposition
• UI Styling: Modifiers for size, shape, colors, background, padding and alignment
• User Interaction: Different click, touch and scroll listeners and their handlers
• Animations: State changes, value animations and complex transitions

One thing you can count on: After reading this book, you’ll be prepared to tackle any design specification and build it in your Android apps using Jetpack Compose. You’ll make your apps really stand out by adding different modifiers and Material Design components, as well as animations.
