# compose

[Colton Idle]

🦜 Android dev summit 🦜 was yesterday. (this was ADS part 1? there seem to be more events later this year)

Bunch of new stuff dropped. I'll try to sum up for anyone that hasn't caught up, without being a wall of text

Android studio updates:
New Studio canary (/w a new cool icon 😄 )
Live edit now has an option to automatically deploy, OR deploy with a keyboard shortcut. Love this.
Also, kinda big is composition tracing in flamingo. if you have perf issues with compose...

from the summit which has a TON of compose ❤️ content. very watchable as talks are 5-20 minutes.

Compose BOM:
Already mentioned above. but also sooo good not to mention again. basically define 1 version to get all latest stable versions.

Compose 1.3.0:
artifacts were released. Nothing too major from the alphas/rcs as far as I see.

Compose Material3 hit 1.0!

Compose 1.4.0-alpha01:
• SnapshotStateList and SnapshotStateMap now have explicit implementaions of toList() and toMap(), respectfully.
• A new method, awaitEachGesture(), for gesture detectors was added.
• Added DrawStyle as an Experimental attribute to TextStyle and SpanStyle to enable drawing outlined text. (If24b8, b/155421273) WOOOOO
• Thanks for vighnesh for adding TV Devices to Previews (Ie15cd)
Other:
• Android TV for compose?! idk when this was announced, but I saw it in the Keynote. Compose can now be used for Android TV development. edit: more here
• "Relay" was announced for figma <> Composable generation. (definitely cool, but idk if i would trust it. What I would really love is to click a button in figma to generate composable code, and then I can tweak that code, instead of copy pasting and guessing about figma gradient code and bringing into a composable for example)
