I created a recipe request for the Nav3 Recipes site 2 weeks ago.

If you would like to use Hilt to modularise your navigation, and also would want to save your backstack, you may want to upvote: https://github.com/android/nav3-recipes/issues/296

(Or, if you know how it works, could you tell me, please?)

Thanks!

I wrote a small Android test app in Compose years ago using Material 2 instead of 3 for the UI and my conclusion is that no one should do it:
- It lacks many useful components
- It has bugs that will never be fixed because it's unmaintained. For example some components crash when used with Navigation3 and AlertDialog doesn't support vertically scrolling text properly.

🔍 Exploring the new Contact Picker API in #Android17.

It lets users share specific contacts without apps requesting "READ_CONTACTS"—a great step forward for privacy.

Classic bike-shedding I know but just had a 'debate' with my Android devs about Compose Preview naming convention. Any Android devs have an opinion?

I always use ComponentNamePreview with ComponentNameVariantPreview where a composable takes multiple arguments/config.

The devs have started dropping ComponentName which isn't something I've seen done elsewhere, so it's a departure from convention, plus where you have multiple Composables in a file, which does happen, it's ambiguous which composable you're targeting.

I gave up pushing back because one of the devs is just impossible when debating this stuff, but I hate the needless departure from convention just for the sake of brevity. They're usually right about this stuff, but I really don't like it as a new convention they just decided to adopt.

FlexBox component was added to Jetpack Compose.

It's a container that lays out items in one of the following directions:
• Row
• Column
• RowReverse
• ColumnReverse

You’ll need "foundation-layout:1.12.0-alpha03" to try it out.

Grid component was added to Jetpack Compose.

It lets you build two-dimensional layouts.

You’ll need "foundation-layout:1.12.0-alpha03" to try it out.

🚀 #Android is now officially #ComposeFirst

Google announced Jetpack Compose is the primary UI toolkit for Android, while XML Views move into maintenance mode.

Compose is no longer “the future”, it’s the standard.

Переезд с XML на Jetpack Compose на проде: базовые классы, архитектура, сложности и готовые решения

Меня зовут Родион, и я уже около 2,5 лет работаю в VK Android-разработчиком в крупном многомодульном проекте с сотнями экранов и довольно большой аудиторией. Когда я попал на проект, стек был классическим и проверенным: XML-вёрстка, навигация через Cicerone, Dagger 2 для DI, Coroutines и Flow для асинхронщины, а в качестве архитектурного паттерна — MVVM. Рано или поздно любая растущая кодовая база упирается в потолок своих архитектурных решений. У нас этот момент настал, когда количество экранов выросло до нескольких сотен и команда начала тратить больше времени на борьбу с неконсистентным состоянием UI. Классическая связка XML + ViewBinding + MVVM работала, но с каждым новым экраном мы всё острее чувствовали её ограничения: разрозненные StateFlow, дублирование кода во фрагментах, сложность переиспользования компонентов. Нужно было что-то менять — пересмотреть сам подход к построению UI. Так мы начали миграцию на Jetpack Compose (который на момент начала перехода уже был стабильным и самодостаточным). Полтора года спустя, пройдя через рефакторинг базовых классов, переход с MVVM на MVI и постепенную замену содержимого всех фрагментов, мы получили стек, на котором разработка ускорилась, а баги, связанные с состоянием экрана, практически исчезли. Полный переход на Jetpack Compose мы разделили на три больших этапа: - переписываем содержимое всех фрагментов на ComposeView; - переходим с Dagger2 на Koin; - меняем навигацию с Cicerone на Compose-навигацию. О втором и третьем этапах кратко расскажу ниже — в главе стратегии перехода, а на первом этапе остановлюсь подробнее. В этой статье не будет разбора плюсов и минусов Jetpack Compose, скорее она будет полезна тем, кто уже знаком с технологией, хочет её использовать, но боится нести в проект. Я расскажу, как мы шаг за шагом выполняли первый этап, и к чему в итоге пришли.

Android/Navigation 3 q: is it possible to use a SceneDecorator to put a Scaffold around my screens, including TopAppBar with localised title, a main menu with localised labels and functioning navigation, and a BottomAppBar with FAB? How?

So far, I am struggling...

a) the SceneDecorator has access to the backstack, but not to NavKey (only to a String representation of it)
b) the SceneDecorator has no access to my navigator
