Leverage Compose Tooling to Improve Your Workflow
summary
A demo Wordle‑style app called word tool shows using Android Studio Compose tooling to speed UI work: Compose Preview with multi‑preview annotations and PreviewParameterProvider generates parallel device and state views so screens render without running the app, enforcing stateless composables; Live Edit of literals (stable) and experimental Live Edit (canary Electric Eel) apply immediate changes; Layout Inspector recomposition counts reveals per‑tile recomposition and skipped counts to find excessive updates; Animation Preview (Chipmunk) runs updateTransition animations and lets the presenter tune per‑tile delays until the flip animation looks right.
