Welcome to the Jetpack Compose roadmap, outlining upcoming plans for Jetpack Compose. For completed features, please see release notes.
The major themes in focus for the next release are:
- Performance
- More support for advanced use cases
- Expanded Material 3 component set
- Improve tools, including Preview and Live Edit
- Platform support: Compose Wear, large screens, homescreen widgets, TV Compose
These are the features that the team is currently thinking about and working on. This roadmap is shared with the best intent, however, it’s not exhaustive and priorities might change as we learn more and continue to get feedback from you - our users.
In Focus items are being worked on soon and are likely to land in an upcoming stable release. Backlog items are planned but not likely to land soon.
