Developing Apps optimized for Wear OS with Jetpack Compose
summary
Shows a concrete Wear OS app built with Jetpack Compose using Android Studio Flamingo (or Hedgehog for previews) and only emulators; replaces LazyColumn with ScalingLazyColumn, adds Scaffold properties timeText and positionIndicator for proper wearable UX, uses Wear Navigation with SwipeDismissableNavController for back gestures, and implements Tiles via either TileService or a coroutine-enabled service using the Horologist tile library (override resourceRequest/tileRequest and add manifest). Code and slides land on GitHub and Twitter.
