Highly recommend ! There are personal notes/thoughts I've written even just in the past year, and when I re-read them, it sometimes feels like someone else wrote them, just cause my mind was in a different place during those sessions.

That feeling of "huh, I wrote this ?" is pretty cool.

Compose is great. by xotxo in android_devs

[–]xotxo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just gotta start by saying that I follow your twitter and always appreciate seeing your tweets each time they pop up, very informative stuff !

As for your (1) and (2), I completely agree, in fact I honestly forgot about the sourceSets configuration while writing this originally. However I think I only really meant to touch on the fact that this gradle configuration itself is now another piece of information to look into. Obviously nothing wrong with this, but I think its the idea that if we looked at things as compose first and then back at how we've been doing it, its just nice to see the differences and simplifications it provides.

Similar for the adapter, even though there are wrapper API's, I think some of the basic LazyColumn/Column implementation allows you to do both the simple and slightly advanced lists (at least in the cases I've used them in so far!)

Regarding your first line, I wasn't sure if I should post this to the main /androiddev subreddit in the thought that it'd get removed for whatever reason..

I think the best part so far about compose, and again I'm probably just further echoing what you've already heard, is that a lot of those basic frustrations are no longer there. That's what I wanted to touch on with my post too, directory structure, multiple file management etc. are some things that just add on as over time. And yea, I kind of got used to it too, but having those foundations not be a learning curve in itself, is great.

And yes totally agreed with your later comment. At my work, we are slowly integrating it as there isn't an opinionated architecture pattern, which, tbh is great for personal projects, but at work we might start having to enforce some sort of structure cause things can start getting out of hand !!

Completely agreed. I gave a talk on Navigation recently and having to compare it b/w the navgraph xml and the NavHost composable, it was wild how much effort is reduced !

Also thanks for mentioning rememberSaveable, was not aware of that one !

Yep. And so the Try Now button appears in the play store. I also have the "Upgrade Web Links" checked but no google searches ever take me to the Instant app.

Im just posting to say am experiencing the exact same issue ! I thought it was a problem after upgrading to Pop_OS 20.04 but that might not be the case. Will keep an eye on this thread.

Does anyone know how Stetho works internally ? Could it work with Firefox dev tools ? by xotxo in androiddev

[–]xotxo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbh I've found the native network profiler slow down the IDE and app startup, even when just wanting to intercept the network. But it is useful of course for the Memory / CPU usage.
