First look at Jetpack Compose
summary
Alpha Jetpack Compose is a Kotlin compiler plugin–driven UI library that demos as a small to‑do app using Android Studio 4.0 and the preview annotation. The talk shows concrete APIs: @Composable functions, the model annotation for observable properties, setContent entry points, modifiers and Material list items; the demo runs on the emulator after wiring explicit state but crashes until constraints and modifiers are fixed. Tooling is available, APIs are unstable, and compatibility and typing remain open issues.
