I’m curious about how you’ll have been referring to the current UI Toolkit when speaking in comparison to Jetpack Compose? Legacy? Old? Current UI system? Looking for ideas

Sometimes i'm using "classic Android View system"

Yeah, I think we've publicly used the terms "View based widgets" and "classic Android View system"

Current toolkit or view system

These are great suggestions! Thanks y’all!

Thanks for asking, it’s important to use the right terms here. The existing toolkit is not legacy/old, because nobody should feel wrong/ashamed/whatever else about using it

"classic views" is what I've been using

"Android's UIKit" 😛

Yeah I felt it was important to ask because it’s very easy to use these terms without putting any thought. At the end of the day, there are human’s behind the curtains who are continuing to keep things running while this shiny new thing comes out. So its important to be respectful of their work and craft.

I've used the term "legacy" before and hadn't it been for your question I might have continued to use it. So definitely thanks for your question!

Yeah I had created an example where I was highlighting interoperability. That’s where I used the word “legacy” and I noticed it in the morning and it felt wrong. Hence I decided to ask!

Yeah, “legacy” is such a loaded term. I prefer “vintage”. 😎
