Hello wonderful people 👋🏼
I started collecting and answering some “Frequently Asked Questions” about Compose. I would love to know which other questions I should be adding to this list. You can find it here 👉🏼 https://JetpackCompose.app/faq. Also if you think any information is incorrect, please let me know!

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

This is awesome, thanks! I was just wondering the other day if something like this existed. Every week someone asks about dagger in compose, would you consider adding an entry about that?

[Vinay Gaba]

oh yeah! That is a good one!

[Vinay Gaba]

Thanks Zach 🙏🏼

This is great, just a headsup that the bottom FAQ the link is broken

Here’s the latest thread on DI, links to some previous threads, hopefully that’s enough to seed an answer: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1595516300212500

How to handle orientation changes comes up now and then, with the response being “Just use an `if`”

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

I’m not sure if you’re trying to just keep this to “official” answers, but the section on navigation could maybe be more useful by pointing to some of the third-party libraries people have come up with to solve this problem. Probably most notably, compose-router: https://github.com/zsoltk/compose-router

This is fantastic feedback ya’ll! What I’m going to do is give a shoutout to ya’ll on the website. Would that be okay?

[Brett Best]

https://github.com/hitherejoe/ComposeAcademy-Playground - you could add that under examples

That seems like a pretty exclusive domain name, I hope you are committed to maintaining it.

[Vinay Gaba]

Oh boy that’s a lot of pressure 😄

[Vinay Gaba]

changes are live! Thank you for your recommendations and suggestions 🙏🏼

[Sinan Kozak]

Difference between state, savedState and remember functions. How to use predefined text styles. What is a modifier. Most used modifiers. Reason to have modifier.

[Sinan Kozak]

Is it safe to pass State object or (should compose get value or state object)

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

Maybe something specifically about the best ways to pass in data, comparing lexical scope vs parameters vs Ambients? You mention this in the Dagger section, not sure if it would be worth breaking out into its own section.

[Vinay Gaba]

@Sinan Kozak some good suggestions there!

[Vinay Gaba]

@Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] You mean you mentioned that in the Dagger section 😄

Really nice resource! I would add ViewPager as component (in the app, not the faq)
