Hey, I just mailed out jetc.dev Newsletter Issue #303! @brwngrldev.bsky.social on reducing development friction! Line graphs! CMP IDE plugin! Syntax highlighting! And... can we *finally* get rid of ViewModel?!? jetc.dev/issues/303 #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev

Come and chat with us on Feb 5th 😊 we'll (try to) answer your questions about Gemini in Android Studio, and share some tips & tricks 👩‍🔬 With @josealcerreca.bsky.social, @astamato.bsky.social, @nosuid.bsky.social, Joe Birch and a few more! Join in → goo.gle/3O7dfk0

👀 Want to see a preview of what's coming up in #JetpackCompose? We heard you that debugging shared elements is tricky. In 1.11.0-alpha03, a new composable LookaheadAnimationVisualDebugging was added. Wrap your SharedTransitionLayout to add visual cues to track down those hard to debug issues. 🐛⤵️

#JetpackCompose executes your code in different phases, which causes some parts of the @Composable function to be executed separately from each other. Crashes in these phases can result in stack traces that are hard to decipher, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact line of code that crashed 💥

Quick reminder that the Nav3 engineering team will be live in 1 hour answering questions. Ask anything you like about Nav3 using #AskAndroid. Livestream is here: www.youtube.com/live/JsugLEM...

Another new feature in Compose 1.10 is the new: Modifier.scrollableArea() 📜 Think of it like this: Modifier.scrollable() tells you how the pointer moved, while Modifier.scrollableArea() translates that pointer movement into how the content should move within a typical scrollable view.

If you want to reduce your ANR rate... enable R8! 🥁 Honestly the numbers from Reddit here are wildly impressive, with 30% less ANRs, 40% faster app startup and frame rate improvement of 25% 😱 Checkout the video from @keyboardsurfer.dev to learn more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqO2...

Compose 1.10 was released yesterday! 🔟 It includes some nice new features: 🧞‍♀️ Support for dynamic shared elements 👰🏻‍♀️ New Enter/Exit Transitions: unveilIn / veilOut ⏭️ Modifier.skipToLookaheadPosition() 📦 New retain APIs influenced by Circuit android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/12/what...

A great write-up from Perk about how they adopted Compose Multiplatform! Cool to see this from an app that I actually use regularly.

Customizing the cache window lets you prefetch content on Jetpack Compose LazyLayouts. Combining it with pausable composition and text prefetching is a winning combination.

Don't ignore this tip! We've switched to using the optimized proguard file & shrinking resources in our latest release and have seen a massive drop in all performance related metrics, with slow app launch metrics dropping >30%. All from a 5 minute code change!

A Reddit mod has spent years tearing down the coding bootcamp space, relentlessly attacking the leading bootcamp: Codesmith. This is, by far, the most fucked up thing I've seen on Reddit: larslofgren.com/codesmith-re...

📢 The androidx.compose.material.icons library is no longer recommended for displaying Material Icons in Compose. We have stopped publishing updates to this library & it has been removed from the latest Material 3 library release, you can still manually reference it if you cannot migrate.

Thanks for having me on stream @peterfriese.dev @nohe.dev ❤️🧡

My weekend in pictures, at this point I'm just dressing to see the bot results #androidify
