Random q: UI Components, Widgets, Views Is there anything on the list or elsewhere that you’ll use interchangeably with “Composable function”? I personally like “UI Component” when I’m speaking about a Composable function but wondering what this group thinks.

I’ve been having this discussion internally this week as well. Lots of confusion about the term “composable view”, since people think Compose actually uses Android views under the hood. I’m also on team “component” atm.

haha then I’m in the right company 👋🏼 🎉

@Leland Richardson [G] can share what our recommendations are

i think the two terms that we seem to have the most consensus around internally are “composable” and “component”

I separate my components like

MainActivityComponents

which contains the

@Composable

functions. There’s also

MainActivityComponent

which is actually a Dagger component though, so that’s a point of confusion. I’d get rid of that after migrating to hilt though, but there would still be the Hilt

ActivityComponent

etc. My own definition right now is that Compose Components are

@Composable

functions, so I refer to

Text()

as the Text component. For example.

I really like the term component, because widget is like to be see in home page

Those are technically called app widgets

Ohh yes, thank you, I forgot the word
