Hi everyone, I’ve attached a dummy screenshot just to provide context. The original Figma design is different, but it has the same bottom navigation bar with 4 items: Home, Search, My Library, and Premium.

In traditional XML, based Android development, we usually use a BaseActivity with Fragments like HomeFragment, SearchFragment, LibraryFragment, and PremiumFragment. Then, based on the requirement, we add additional activities or fragments.

My question is about Jetpack Compose:
1. Do we follow the same approach in Compose?
2. If not, what is the recommended way to structure the app? Should we use a single MainActivity with composable screens like HomeScreen, SearchScreen, LibraryScreen, and PremiumScreen?
If anyone has built a similar app using Jetpack Compose from scratch (with API integration), I would really appreciate it if you could share any YouTube playlists or tutorials that helped you.

Thanks in advance, This is a bit urgent for me, so any guidance is really appreciated 🙏

In Jetpack Compose, the recommended approach is to use a single MainActivity that hosts all your screens as composable functions rather than using multiple Fragments. Use the Navigation Compose library to set up a NavHost inside a Scaffold with a bottom navigation bar. Each composable screen (e.g., HomeScreen, SearchScreen, LibraryScreen, PremiumScreen) can have its own ViewModel for handling business logic and API calls. This streamlined, single-activity architecture keeps your code clean and leverages Compose’s declarative UI model.
