Hi.
@romainguy said in a recent

video▾

that Jetpack Compose has to catch up with 15 years of development. Does that mean that Android's classic way of using xml layouts has been in use since 2005? I ask because Android's public first public release seems to be 2008.

Rounded up :)

And the first public SDK was November 2007 but it was a preview

Of course internally we'd be using the APIs before that ;)
