Jetpack Compose 1.7 Essentials is a thorough, reference-style book for developing Android applications using Android Studio, Kotlin, and Jetpack Compose 1.7. Tailored for both novice and experienced programmers, this book begins with an introduction to Kotlin programming before guiding readers through the installation and setup of Android Studio and AVD emulators. From there, it transitions into Android app development using Jetpack Compose, building a solid foundation in modern, declarative UI creation. Whether you are just starting or looking to deepen your expertise, this guide provides a clear, step-by-step approach to mastering Android development with Jetpack Compose.

This book is a comprehensive guide to building Android applications using Jetpack Compose 1.7, Android Studio, and Kotlin. It includes detailed tutorials with downloadable source code to help you put theory into practice and online quizzes to reinforce and test your knowledge and understanding.

The book is structured to build your knowledge from the ground up. Starting from the basics, it guides you through setting up Android Studio, followed by an introduction to Kotlin. You will learn essential programming concepts like data types, operators, control flow, functions, lambdas, coroutines, and object-oriented programming. With a solid foundation, you will dive into Jetpack Compose, learn the fundamentals of declarative UI, and explore Android project architecture in Compose development mode.

In addition, the book covers data handling using state properties and essential user interface design concepts like layout managers, modifiers, navigation bars, and user interface navigation. You will also explore building reusable custom layout components, securing your apps with Biometric authentication, and integrating Google Maps.

Other topics covered include graphics drawing, user interface animation, and gesture handling. Chapters also cover view models, database storage, and custom theme creation. You will also learn how to generate extra revenue from your app using in-app billing and bring your app’s content to the home screen using Glance widgets.

Finally, the book explains how to package and upload a completed app for publication to the Google Play Store.
