Basic layouts in Compose

Learn how to implement a realistic and complex UI using Compose Layouts. Use out-of-the-box composables and modifiers to transform designs into Compose code. Discover how to implement a screen from MySoothe, a sample relaxation app. Learn to write the code for each of the screen's separate elements, and then combine those into the complete screen.

That is an excellent video! I have a note for other developers. In the HomeScreen where she added a Spacer() instead of padding to solve the issue of contents being clipped when scrolling. Actually, there is another way to do it as well by just doing this:
modifier = modifier
.verticalScroll(state = rememberScrollState())
.padding(vertical = 16.dp)

Modifiers' order matters so when we first add the verticalScroll, this will cause the scroll to be applied before the padding and will not clip the children.

I love compose so much because of this feature as it gives us endless capabilities.

Thank you both, Simona and Jolanda!

Learned more in this video than a full day reading the documentation, amazing presentation.

I hope to keep this kind of workshops with every new API, way better than the docs 👌

This tutorial was damn good with a very good explanation. Google has tons of videos for android but this tutorial is by far the best by a huge margin. Great work from Jolanda and Simona 👏👏

Google please make more such long videos and don't fast forward things like you do in other videos, please make more videos like this one.

Again a big shout out to both the developers who explained everything so clearly. Thanks a bunch, hoping to see more such videos from you two.

This is the most precise workshop video I have ever seen about compose 👌🏾really great work

Amazing Learing Guide for developers, From Jolenda and Simona. You guys should make more videos like Paging in Compose, Animations, DrawerLayout : )

[nishanthnagella]

Amazing video! Learned a lot of basics and neat tricks in this video. Love it, as I was able to finish the entire codelab faster than I had anticipated. Thank you, Simona and Jolanda. Love the video!

For me, this "rubber meets the road" presentation (sorry for the idiom 🤪) captures the essence of the development process. For the first time I am starting to believe that a declarative tool set can be used to capture strict design requirements. Well done.

[SapphireStudioart]

excellent showcase! thank you for the knowledge! these seem to be some frequently used concepts for the UI, this really helps

[MrMoggz]

Thank you for the Compose presentation and CodeLab, learnt a lot.

[FreedivingTrainer]

Thanks for the video! What about updating preview "on fly"? Or we need tap "refresh"/hotKey every time?

[Sauletekis]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you very much! Really more contents like these are needed

[marcfearby]

Great tutorial, thanks. For me, the final preview of MySootheApp had huge fonts because I followed your video directly, but I fixed it by wrapping the Scaffold in a MaterialTheme (per step 12 of the written tutorial).

This really helped me to get a grasp on what should I use to build UIs with Compose, especially the workflow to start with the simplest possible components and then just arrange them together.

But I have one question:
I didn't really understand the use of the modifier parameter. When modifiying child elements you often used a new Modifier object instead of the one passed in the parameter list.
What is the reasoning behind using one or the other?

Amazing Video, I personally was kind of reluctant to learn about compose since I got most of my experience from an Angular and Android's "classic" XML Layouts and Compose looked quite alien for me. But now I get the jist of it, a Composable doesn't seem all that different from an Angular component.

I will definitly continue my learning compose journey, hope the videos about state management and animations are just as good.

This whole UI Framework also shows how big of a move it was to integrate Kotlin into the Android development scene. Something like this would just not fly at all with Java.

[OgechukwuEleodimuo]

Thank you so much. I learnt alot in this video and I've got a question. Please how can I change the background color from the brown which is the default for the codelab we implemented to a different color. Thank you.

[rwxyz]

This video rocks!!!! I've been thinking about using Jetpack Compose and this video was a nice intro. I'll definitely be playing around with this over the weekend.

[andrewdunbar]

This was a really good style of video! I see far too many that are overly scripted and too wooden and unnatural which makes it hard for me to keep mentally tuned-in. If only more programming tutorials were this good!

[digitalluxury]

Learned more in this video than I hope if you could do more videos like this adding navigation and click listener to chilled >>>> thaaanks

[avdim]

Very useful! Layouts it's most important theme to create super cool Apps! Thanks a lot!
