A. Appendix A: ViewGroups / Widgets to Jetpack Compose Cheatsheet

Written by Prateek Prasad

Since Jetpack Compose is still relatively new, you will find yourself working in hybrid codebases for a while, comprising older features built-in XML and newer ones adopting compose.

This is a reasonably standard adoption pattern for any new technology. With this in mind, before concluding the book, here’s a handy cheatsheet you can use to find the Jetpack Compose equivalent for the most common Android Views on Android.

This guide should be a quick reference whenever you build a new UI in composing or converting an existing screen to Compose.

ViewGroup and Their Equivalents

• LinearLayout - To stack items linearly in compose, you can use a Row for laying out items horizontally or a Column for laying out items vertically.
• FrameLayout - To stack items on top of one another, use a Box composable.
• RelativeLayout - Relative layout lets you lay items out relative to one another. While there is no direct equivalent for a RelativeLayout in compose, you can use a combination of Row, Column and Box with the align modifiers to achieve the same result.
• ConstraintLayout - To lay out items relative to one another based on constraints, Jetpack Compose offers a similarly named composable, ConstraintLayout.

Composables for Building Lists

An everyday use case in any app is to present data as a list. In the XML world, you would use a RecyclerView for the job but compose offers a few variations based on the orientation and arrangement.

• Gajpuloj Giqv - RodyVubolp()
• Dulomuwkiv Gahj - LidtRih()
• Jolcasun Wjaq - KihcVuzfezaqFyoc()
• Dojegurnuy Glav - JiynTudosecnaqCyet()
