Summary

In this final chapter, we looked at the near future of Jetpack Compose and glimpsed neighboring platforms. Jetpack Compose 1.1 will bring bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features, for example, ExposedDropdownMenuBox() and NavigationRail(). Two samples (ExposedDropdownMenuBoxDemo and NavigationRailDemo) show you how to use them.

The second main section, Migrating to Material You, introduced you to Material 3 for Compose. This package brings Material You, the latest iteration of Google's beautiful design language, to Jetpack Compose apps. We looked at some differences between Material 2 and Material 3, for example, the simplified typography and color schemes.

Moving beyond Android showed you how to use your Jetpack Compose knowledge on another platform. I explained how to bring one of my sample composable functions to desktop.

I sincerely hope you enjoyed reading this book. You now have a thorough understanding of the core principles of Jetpack Compose...
