Lists are vital to the Android UI - we use columns and rows everywhere in our apps!

This episode shows how grids can sometimes serve as a better alternative, to make these layouts more dynamic and delightful - especially when supporting different window sizes across devices.

when i was in grad school in 90s we were told not to use points or pixels anywhere in our adaptive layouts, which in practice essentially meant we would have to use grid coordinates lol. so glad the younger generation is free from that hampering baggage. aint nothing wrong in hardcoding point size here or there. just take care to express to the layout engine which parts re allowed to be adaptable.

I wish they kept the weight property to have same meaning across old view and compose

Is there a way to ensure that each grid item has the same height within the same row without setting a fixed height manually?

How can we support dimensions for different screen size

Great video for happy cases. But, please now add a horizontal carousel that should go full width, without getting cropped when using contentPadding in the LazyVerticalGrid. Such a important feature is missing :(

[Latsson]

Sadly, we can't hide part of a text due to accessibility :(

Can you Make Animate as state in Jetpack compose support Animations Tools In Android Studio

I would have thought that setting the weight modifier as shown in the video would instead prioritize the PublishDate Text composable.
