Next, we cover Jetpack Compose, Google’s innovative toolkit for building native user interfaces, including an in-depth look at Compose components and layout structures, including rows, columns, boxes, flows, pagers, and lists. You’ll also gain insights into Android project architecture and Android Studio’s Compose development mode.

Advanced topics are also covered, including state management, modifiers, and UI navigation. You will also learn how to create reusable layout components, implement biometric authentication for enhanced security, and accelerate development with Gemini AI.

The guide also covers specialized techniques, including graphics rendering, animations, transitions, Kotlin Flows, and gesture handling. Practical data management solutions, including view models, Room database access, live data, and the Database Inspector, are explored in detail. For developers interested in monetization, this guide also includes a dedicated section on implementing in-app billing.

The concluding chapters provide a comprehensive overview of app packaging and the publication process on the Google Play Store.

Lindley Gooden

Lindley's groundbreaking book tells the true story of mis- and dis-information, why we've fallen so hard for them both, and how every one of us can fight back. 
We’re living through the post-truth years, where it can feel almost impossible to separate fact from fiction in the information that we’re fed. But is it possible to escape the opinions created by false information and fake news, spread by our closest loved ones, friends, right up to world leaders? 
Yes. There is hope. 
The second edition of The Future of Truth (and How to Get There) unmasks the tell-tale signs that manipulation leaves behind – even in a post-truth world. We build up an essential toolkit to stop, step back from and sidestep misinformation and disinformation wherever our timelines take us. Through neuroscience, conspiracy beliefs, journalism, politics and AI, we’ll take a journey to alt-reality and back to build a happier, healthier future of truth.
