Jetpack Compose is a new UI toolkit for native Android UI development that enables declarative UI. Traditional Android UI development is done either using a markup language to create and style native components, or with imperative Kotlin statements. With its declarative Domain-Specific Language (DSL) Jetpack Compose allows efficient development of UI with compact, easy-to-read statements.
One exciting capability of this new toolkit is the ability to more closely couple the UI with the business logic. With a traditional Android app, the entire presentation layer is deployed as part of the application. If the appearance of the app needs to change, a new version of the app must be deployed. We often struggle with the desire to build apps in such a way that we can make changes on the server and have them immediately reflected on the user’s device.
