Google announces Android Jetpack Compose is now available in Beta

Google has just announced through the Android Developers Blog that the Jetpack Compose framework has started Beta testing. Prior to this, many developers have experienced the Alpha version of Jetpack Compose through the Android Studio integrated development environment in the Canary channel.

It is reported that Jetpack Compose is a new toolkit for building user interfaces (UIs), and there are already a lot of introductory documents (portal https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/setup).

Developers have been testing it for some time, but there are not many key changes in the Beta version (the API remains basically unchanged).

However, when Android 12 is officially released in the second half of 2021, developers can also use Jetpack Compose immediately.

[[383649]] Neowin noted that the Google team has added many new features to Jetpack Compose since the first Alpha version was released.

For example, support for Coroutines and Talkback intercom systems, as well as updated Animations animation effects API.

When using the Android Studio integrated development environment, you’ll also see new tools including live text, animation previews, composition support in the Layout Inspector, interactive previews, and deployment previews.

Even better, Google says Jetpack Compose works with existing apps, meaning developers can embrace new features and experiences the moment they’re ready.

Interested friends can go to the official preview site and download the Canary branch of Android Studio Arctic Fox to try it out (portal: https://developer.android.com/studio/preview).
