I have a quick question regarding the differences between Accompanist and Horologist. The Accompanist is designed for Android in mind and Horologist is for Wear OS? They both are based on compose right? I was looking for Pager Layouts in Horologist, but it is still only available in Accompanist.

Horologist is aimed at Wear OS (which is a super set of Android). Horologist adds things that are not in Compose/Compose for Wear OS and Accompanist

We will not be adding a pager to Horologist as there is one in Accompanist

Also we expect pager to migrate to from Accompanist to Core Compose at some point in the future

Horologist in fact has a PagerScreen component  that combines Accompanist HorizontalPager, Wear Compose PageIndicator and just barely enough lifecycle to focus the right screen if you want Bezel scrolling.

But the Basic Accompanist Pager is well designed and implemented. It makes sense to use

Ahhh, and the horologist class also implements a shape so you don't see surprising corners when you scroll between pages.

<@U6Q90DDHR> thanks for mention the PagerScreen in Horologist. I also see that from the git repo. Can you point me to an example how I can use the PagerScreen? I wasn’t able to find any sample code from <https://github.com/google/horologist/blob/main/sample/src/main/java/com/google/android/horologist/sample/MainActivity.kt>

oh..I found the navsample folder in horologist, need to make a new config to start the `com.google.android.horologist.navsample.NavActivity` to see the effects :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks for the great works

Damn, there should be a launcher for that.  I'll add one if it's missing. Sorry I missed your earlier question.
