I'm studying Compose, ok it's wonderful but i have some doubts how i can use it in app production. App with 40-60 fragments
Ok i tried Compose Navigation so my questions are:
1. can i use a screen compose for every hypothetical fragment? there are a lot of screen.
2. can i use fragments with compose UI and i use normal navigation component?
3. other ways

You can use Compose everywhere you already have Views, for instance inside existing fragments

[Android75]

so can i follow previous architecture ? :
Activity - > (navHost Navigation) -> Fragments (every fragment has layout but with Commpose

We talk about interop in the docs as well: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/navigation#interoperability - you'd continue to use Fragments (that just replace their View with a ComposeView) until all your fragments are converted, then swap over everything to Navigation Compose and remove all of the wrapper fragments

Ok i understand but i'd like to know best practise so question is :
in a App with 40-50-60 fragments (if we think old approach) can i use Compose and replace all hypothetical fragments ?
Could app have performance problems?

[Android75]

I'm starting a big project and I'm afraid if I use aan architecture or another... i can wrong

There's no need to use fragments in a pure Compose app; hundreds of screens is just fine in a Navigation Compose (i.e., no fragment) based app.

Once you get to that point (which obviously may take a while if you're going one fragment at a time 😅 ), I'd suggest reading this blog post, which has some good tips of structuring larger graphs into separate pieces: https://medium.com/google-developer-experts/navigating-in-jetpack-compose-78c78d365c6a

I have other questions such as how can use external UI (customview) library (XML layout) but thanks for now.

[Ian Lake]

There's docs for that too: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/interop/interop-apis#views-in-compose

[Android75]

Wonderful thanks

I think the proper refactor way from XML to Compose for "Activity/Fragment mental" (like me) is to continue using Fragments & Navigation component with Compose instead of pure compose especially there are no advantages to using pure compose if you don't planning to work with KMP
