Copy code
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.Dp
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dpe

10/02/2022, 1:56 PMHonestly, Android development and kotlin in general needs an api/programming reference site like https://en.cppreference.com/w/ , having every module on a seperate site is a nightmare.

10/02/2022, 2:11 PMAndroids docs are a sever disapointment, its only useful for people who use Android studio and its auto-import feature. You have to go down several layers of pages before you even get to the keywords and you don't know if its the keywords your even looking for. The search feature on the site is horrible as it doesn't have an api only search feature. The whole thing is top down backwards as you should go to the keyword you need and then find the import you need, not the other way around.
