Session Description:

Description: Many Android Engineers when joining a new team are sometimes faced with a huge codebase which most views are reusable and have certain custom attributes, some newcomers in the android world understand basic layouts in xml but still find custom view implementation a bit foreign. This scenario in turn makes it harder to migrate certain custom components and their custom functionality to jetpack compose. This codelab is aimed to break the ice of custom view implementations and show how migrating such views are extremely easy. 


Key take aways From this codelab: you will gain a quick overview on custom view components and how to use them you will understand the basics of jetpack compose and break the ice with it's implementation you will gain confidence in converting custom view components to jetpack compose you will be able to create custom compose components for reuse. Experience Level: I work on Multi Modular apps with a module containing reusable custom components and I have migrated and actively migrating many of these views to custom compose components and these apps are deployed and used at scale with a large user base.
