Become a Composer
summary
Jetpack Compose is alpha (alpha4) and requires Android Studio 4.2 Canary; the workshop shows a runnable GitHub project with small exercises that demonstrate creating Text, Button, Column, Box, a lazy column 4 (recycler view replacement) and theming. State uses mutableStateOf plus remember, and streams convert with collectAsState or observeAsState for LiveData. Previews render layouts but clicks and interactive scrolling require an emulator; scaffold/appbar/bottom bar examples compile and run.
