Leverage Compose Tooling to Improve Your Workflow
summary
A hands‑on tour of Android Studio Compose tooling using a Wordle‑style sample app called Word Tool, showing how Compose Preview and custom multi‑preview annotations emit multiple device/night/theme snapshots and how a PreviewParameterProvider feeds several board states without running the app. Demonstrates Live Edit of literals (instant constant updates) and experimental Live Edit limits on structural changes, using Layout Inspector’s recomposition counts to find that tile composables recomposed once instead of whole board, and uses Animation Preview for updateTransition/animatedVisibility timing tweaks.
