Adopting Jetpack Compose Safely | droidcon Lisbon

If you want to start adopting Jetpack Compose in an existing, large codebase worked on by multiple teams, you can’t just add the dependency and start creating composables right away. In such projects, there are already established conventions and architectural decisions that such a revolutionary change might disrupt.

In this talk, we will share our journey of integrating Compose into the TIER app while offering practical tips for tackling common challenges that arise when working with large-scale codebases, like:

- Getting rid of Data binding,
- Migrating to a Unidirectional Data Flow architecture,
- Going Compose-first with a design system,
- Enabling Compose in a multimodule world,
- Getting Android engineers on board with the changes

2. Compose 
 in the wild
3. @marcoGomier @stewemetal WHY?
4. @marcoGomier @stewemetal No more 
 RecyclerView Adapters 🥳
5. @marcoGomier @stewemetal Why Compose? 🤓 Less code 😎 More fun 😍 Kotlin
6. @marcoGomier @stewemetal Start using Compose
7. @marcoGomier @stewemetal 🚧 ⛔ Start using Compose
8. @marcoGomier @stewemetal Pre-Compose Architecture 🏗

76. @marcoGomier @stewemetal Octopus Design System • Possible approaches for us @Composable public fun OctopusButtonPrimary( text: String, modifier: Modifier = Modifier, buttonSize: ButtonSize = NORMAL, enabled: Boolean = true, loading: Boolean = false, onClick: () -> Unit, ) { Box() { OctopusRippleTheme() { Button() { Text() } if (loading) { OctopusButtonLoader() } } } } @marcoGomier @stewemetal Reimplement component s​ in ​ Compose
77. @marcoGomier @stewemetal Octopus Design System • Possible approaches for us @Composable public fun OctopusButtonPrimary( text: String, modifier: Modifier = Modifier, buttonSize: ButtonSize = NORMAL, enabled: Boolean = true, loading: Boolean = false, onClick: () -> Unit, ) { Box() { OctopusRippleTheme() { Button() { Text() } if (loading) { OctopusButtonLoader() } } } } @marcoGomier @stewemetal Reimplement component s​ in ​ Compose
78. @marcoGomier @stewemetal • The benefits of pure Compose • Easier to maintain • No attachments to the legacy Views • Easy for teams to adopt Octopus Design System 🤩
79. @marcoGomier @stewemetal • Downsides of our approach • A second implementation to maintain • Keeping them in sync is tedious • New components = twice the work Octopus Design System 🫠
80. @marcoGomier @stewemetal Octopus Design System - Going Compose-first • Use the Compose implementation of components to render the Views • Compose-View interop 💡
81. @marcoGomier @stewemetal Octopus Design System - Going Compose-first • View wrappers using the Compose implementations • Keep original custom attributes working • XML preview support • UI Testing support 🔧
82. @marcoGomier @stewemetal Octopus Design System - Going Compose-first
