Compose

Define your UI programmatically with composable functions that describe its shape and data dependencies.

Compose is combination of 7 Maven Group Ids within androidx. Each Group contains a targeted subset of functionality, each with its 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.material3	Build Jetpack Compose UIs with Material Design 3 Components, the next evolution of Material Design. Material 3 includes updated theming and components and Material You personalization features like dynamic color, and is designed to be cohesive with the new Android 12 visual style and system UI.
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.
