Building a Production-Ready Chat SDK Using Jetpack Compose
Blog post from Stream
Jetpack Compose, released in July 2021, is a native UI toolkit for Android designed to enhance development speed and ease, reaching its stable 1.0 version after two years of development. Filip Babić, Stream's Lead Android Developer for Jetpack Compose, quickly launched the first official Chat SDK using Jetpack Compose just a day after its stabilization, highlighting its flexibility and integration capabilities. During MobileWeek 2021, Babić shared insights on building with Jetpack Compose, emphasizing the advantages of using Kotlin, common pitfalls to avoid, and the toolkit's potential to revolutionize Android development. Stream's Compose UI Components aim to simplify integration and customization on Android, inviting developers to explore further through tutorials and free Chat trials.
