Clean Chat Example App with Jetpack Compose
Blog post from Stream
Stream has introduced a Jetpack Compose Chat SDK, which can be explored through a Compose Chat Messaging Tutorial. The article delves into a Jetpack Compose design sample inspired by Mickael Guillaume's work on Dribbble, with the source code available on GitHub. Key topics covered include simple color management through a custom AppColors object, integration of the Metropolis font family, and use of the @ReadOnlyComposable annotation for optimizing non-UI emitting functions. The @Preview annotation is discussed for previewing composable snippets and customizing parameters. The article highlights improved list spacing via contentPadding and verticalArrangement parameters in LazyList, and demonstrates the use of local composable functions within Kotlin for concise code. The full source code for the sample can be found on GitHub, and Stream's Chat SDK for Android is recommended for implementing real messaging features in apps.
