Interop <ConstraintLayout> <ImageView /> <Button /> <androidx.compose.ui.platform.ComposeView android:id="@+id/compose_view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Compose View binding.composeView.apply { setContent { } }
Compose View binding.composeView.apply { setContent { MaterialTheme { DescriptionView() }
} }
Challenges strings.xml dimen.xml theme.xml Compose Resuse
Compose View @Composable fun DescriptionView() { Text( text = stringResource(id
= R.string.title) ) }
Compose View @Composable fun DescriptionView() { Text( modifier = Modifier.padding(dimensionResource(R.id.margin_small))
) }
Challenges • How do you reuse dimen and string resources?
• Interop Theming
Challenges strings.xml dimen.xml theme.xml Compose Resuse
Interop Theming implementation “com.google.android.material:compose-theme-adapter:1.1.1”
Interop Theming binding.composeView.apply { setContent { MaterialTheme { DescriptionView() }
} }
Interop Theming binding.composeView.apply { setContent { MdcTheme { DescriptionView() }
} }
Challenges • How do you reuse dimen and string resources?
• Interop Theming • View lifecycle
Compose View binding.composeView.apply { setContent { setViewCompositionStrategy( ViewCompositionStrategy.DisposeOnViewTreeLifecycleDestroyed ) }
}

Kotlin Upgrades This version (1.1.1) of the Compose Compiler requires
Kotlin version 1.6.10 but you appear to be using Kotlin version 1.6.20 which is not known to be compatible.
Kotlin Upgrades composeOptions { kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_version suppressKotlinVersionCompatibilityCheck true
} Not Recommended
