Marquee is supported now????? 😮

I've been trying to come up with a way to do it properly and it's finally a real thing!

[romainguy]

It is indeed

[romainguy]

And it’s not text specific

[andrew]

That's pretty awesome 😎

[andrew]

I'm looking forward to using it later tonight!

[dewildte]

Is that the scrolling from left to right animation thing?

[andrew]

Yes, for overflowing UI that doesn't fit

[dewildte]

Oh sweet! Do you have a link to the docs for it?

[andrew]

It's a modifier listed in here! https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2023/03/whats-new-in-jetpack-compose-march-23-release.html

[dewildte]

OH MAN!

[dewildte]

Thanks!
This is awesome!!

[dewildte]

You know you work for a big company when you can get the time to do major refactors lol.

[dewildte]

Looking forward to the Modifiers refactors.

[andrew]

I work for a big company but don't have the time for the refactors like this 🤣🤣

[dewildte]

Ok fair enough.

[andrew]

Tons of tech debt

[dewildte]

I admit my statement is erroneous lol

[andrew]

I.e. the whole react native app!

[dewildte]

• AndroidView is now reusable in LazyList if you provide an optional onReset lambda. This improvement lets you use complex non-Compose-based Views inside LazyLists.

This is a really nice inter-op touch.

@romainguy @George Mount Great work on the Color.lerp work.

[romainguy]

That’s all George

[dewildte]

True but you did review it.

[romainguy]

My own contribution is coming in 1.5 😄

[dewildte]

OHHH

I’m just grateful the team let me merge something, I miss writing code 🙂

[dewildte]

Woah, this code is so over my head lol.
I am glad you guys get to write this stuff, it’s no joke.
I probably would have used some sort of recursive descent parser to do this
and wound up with a bunch of un-needed classes.

[dewildte]

I feel like I am reading something a university prof wrote.

[romainguy]

The fast float parsing is ported from a C++ library. The rest was actually removing classes and steps and parse everything in one iteration instead of 3

[George Mount]

@romainguy Teamwork!

[dewildte]

Makes the dream work!

(I had to search Marquee html to see the effect lol)
