A page out of Server driven UI on Android

on YouTube ↗48m

" summary

Claim: a server-driven UI lets a backend JSON state render Android screens so the app can change a home page without a Play Store deploy. Tools actually used: Epoxy + RecyclerView, Jetpack Compose hoisting, Moshi with a runtime polymorphic adapter. Built a rendering engine, a custom FrameLayout wrapper and an open-source Compose design system (Andromeda) and run instrumentation tests; it ships in an app serving about five countries and works in production, diffing only changed rows.
