Kotlin Compose Guide

A guide to building modern Android user interfaces with Jetpack Compose's declarative, composable approach.

Usage

Ask about Jetpack Compose patterns, state management, theming, or migration from XML layouts.

Examples

• "Create a scrollable list with Compose LazyColumn"
• "How do I manage state in Jetpack Compose?"
• "Build a Material 3 themed app with Compose"

Guidelines

• Keep composables small and focused on a single concern
• Hoist state to the appropriate level for reusability
• Use remember and derivedStateOf for computed values
• Prefer Modifier chaining over nested composables for styling
• Use CompositionLocal for dependency injection sparingly
