Build setup
- Dependencies and versions live in the Gradle version catalog:
gradle/libs.versions.toml - Shared module configuration (convention plugins, SDK levels) lives in buildSrc
How to get started
Use Android Studio Ladybug or newer and JDK 17 (the project targets AGP 8.7 / Kotlin 2.1).
The MoviesApp demo needs a TMDB API key. Add it to your
(git-ignored) local.properties as tmdbApiKey=YOUR_KEY, or export TMDB_API_KEY. Without it the
demo builds fine but the movie lists stay empty.
Features & Where to start
- Widgets: Widgets Screen show case all the available components to build UI.
- Home Screen: Start with Layouts, Modifiers and Simple Listviews
- Demo UI: Learn how demo UI have been made by using layouts, listviews and widgets.
- Animations: Animations are very interesting in compose. Checkout single value animations to get started.
- UI Tests: Checkout UI tests to understand how we can test compose UI.
- Others: After the above steps feel free to deep dive into Tablayouts, carousel, Dialogs and BottomSheets
