Performance With Jetpack Compose — Part 1 - droidcon
Jetpack Compose is a modern UI toolkit for building native Android apps using Kotlin. It provides a declarative approach to building user interfaces, allowing developers to easily create and manage UI components. It's fairly new but still looks very powerful and allows for a lot of flexibility when it comes to creating UI on Android.

Jetpack Compose Tutorial: Replicating the Water Level Widget - droidcon
Apple’s apps and widgets always were a staple of design, and inspirations for our Replicating Series: Activity Application and Card application. When they announced the new Apple Watch Ultra, the design of the depth gauge widget caught our eye, and we thought it would be cool to replicate it on Android! As usual for our Android replicating challenges, we used the Jetpack Compose framework.
Testing Android Flows in ViewModel with Turbine - droidcon
As it is common now, the correct architecture should contain decoupled layers. Inter-layer communication between them is done by streams, or in our case, flows, in Android. To make our solutions foolproof, we should create tests around every component, and the ViewModel is no exception. The more channels the ViewModel contains, the more challenging is to assert its complexity of it. The states should be emitted in a controlled way rather than in a chaotic.
