Structure

Compose is combination of 6 Maven Group Ids within androidx. Each Group contains a targeted subset of functionality, each with it's own set of release notes.

This table explains the groups and links to each set of release notes.

Group	Description
compose.animation	Build animations in their Jetpack Compose applications to enrich the user experience.
compose.compiler	Transform @Composable functions and enable optimizations with a Kotlin compiler plugin.
compose.foundation	Write Jetpack Compose applications with ready to use building blocks and extend foundation to build your own design system pieces.
compose.material	Build Jetpack Compose UIs with ready to use Material Design Components. This is the higher level entry point of Compose, designed to provide components that match those described at www.material.io.
compose.runtime	Fundamental building blocks of Compose's programming model and state management, and core runtime for the Compose Compiler Plugin to target.
compose.ui	Fundamental components of compose UI needed to interact with the device, including layout, drawing, and input.

Declaring dependencies

To add a dependency on Compose, you must add the Google Maven repository to your project. Read Google's Maven repository for more information.

Add the dependencies for the artifacts you need in the build.gradle file for your app or module:

dependencies {
    implementation "androidx.compose.compiler:compiler:1.0.0-beta04"
}

android {
    buildFeatures {
        compose true
    }

    composeOptions {
        kotlinCompilerVersion "1.4.32"
        kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion "1.0.0-beta04"
    }
}

tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile).configureEach {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}

New Features

• Stability Inference & Propagation. The Compose Compiler Plugin will analyze types it compiles to infer whether or not it is eligible for certain optimizations by the runtime. This inferred result is then synthesized as metadata onto the class to be utilized by the compiler in other modules. Furthermore, the runtime result of these inferences is passed along in metadata passed to composable calls during composition. This necessitated a different metadata protocol for composable functions, which means that composable functions compiled with the alpha07 compiler will not be binary compatible with composable functions compiled with any earlier compiler version.
