Should we be using something other than `AppCompatActivity` ? It's what's in the default when creating a new compose

you should be able to use `ComponentActivity` now....also, since beta2 I don't believe compose has appcompat dependency any more as well

wait so it’s no longer:
```class MainActivity: AppCompatActivity() {```
where is there an example of the new approach?

`AppCompatActivity` extends `FragmentActivity` which extends `ComponentActivity`. If you don't need AppCompat (i.e. for styling Android Views) and you don't need Fragments (because you're in Compose), then you can use `ComponentActivity`, which has all of the hooks you need for a Compose only app

Thanks Ian, I swapped ComponentActivity in our pure Compose app and it seems to be working without a hitch!

Remove those dependencies (fragment and appcompat) and you might save half a megabyte in APK size :slightly_smiling_face:

just removed appcompat :heart_eyes_cat: although i didn’t see any reference to fragment

You were probably just getting it as a transitive dependency of AppCompat then, totally understandable

you should change the themes too if you dropped appcompat?
