JetpackCompose.app

Folks, we have finally landed on Twitter 🚀 Give us a follow for the latest and greatest about Jetpack Compose - the best way to build Android apps. Help us spread the word if you want to avoid 5 years of bad luck 😂 jetpackcompose.app #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose

@iSaurabhArora And I want fire and forget to be higher - and it will be as the models continue improving and I build better verification loops.

@iSaurabhArora In those cases, I suspect Pair Programmer would take the lions share. Coding outside the IDE is unnatural to most Android dev. You need to lean in to really understand what a game changer it can be. My current split is 10% pair 60% delegator 30% fire and forget

In our latest newsletter, we cover the "40/30/30 rule" for AI dev tools. We divide the choice of tools into 3 buckets think it's completely normal to use all the 3 types... in the same day!! You already have it in your inbox or you can find it on the site 🚀

Want your Jetpack Compose library to be featured on our site? Well we now have a dedicated page where you can submit your libraries and reach thousands of Android developers 🚀

@csinco You are right!!!

@JetpkComposeApp You can also use API keys which will avoid any model training!

Want Gemini in Android Studio but worried about sharing sensitive IP? Use .aiexclude files—it's like .gitignore but for AI. Your private code stays private while you still get contextually rich AI suggestions.

When does onAbandoned happen? When the effect was never successfully "remembered" - rare, but possible. If correctness is critical, you need to handle both cases explicitly:

🐛 SPOT THE BUG 🐛 Is the onDispose callback GUARANTEED to be called?

Part of Compose 1.7+. If you're still using Canvas hacks for bitmap capture, it's time to upgrade. More Android gems in Dispatch: jetpackcompose.app/newsletter

That's it. No View references. No hacky workarounds. Use cases: ✅ Screenshot sharing ✅ Bug report attachments ✅ Social media content ✅ Image processing pipelines ✅ Custom export features

Converting a Composable to a Bitmap used to require black magic and a sacrifice to the Android gods. Not anymore. rememberGraphicsLayer() makes it ridiculously simple. Thread on capturing Composables as images 🧵

Excited to announce something new. Just sent this to the subscribers of my newsletter but figured I should share it here as well as it says a lot about where my head's at
