is there any online playground for jetpack compose? where I can test and learn jetpack compose. Like https://play.kotlinlang.org
Android studio is not lite. It takes time for setting up projects. Every little practice takes lots of time. If there is an online playground, it will be very help full. Thanks.
While there is no online playground where you can try it in a web browser, there is playground projects that you can clone from Github.
Here's one:
https://github.com/hitherejoe/ComposeAcademy-Playground
You can clone the project, open it and start experimenting with the #Preview annotation or by extending the existing samples.

I am creating a project and using Swift for iOS, Jetpack Compose for Android. But icons on Android (Material+Icons) are difference with iOS. So I would like to use SF Symbols of iOS for Android.
I researched and did not find any result for this.
Please anybody can help me out!
I want to record a UI test in my jetpack compose project, just like record an Espresso test.
I want to follow thees steps:
start recording
open the application
click on the objects(buttons, etc...)
finish recording
get generated kotlin codes just like Espresso recording
It seems we cannot use Espresso in a jetpackCompose project.
but in this project I didn't completely migrate to JetpackCompose still. but It recognizes it as a Jetpack Compose project
Espresso testing framework cannot be used with Jetpack Compose so test recording is not yet available but Compose tests are fairly easy to write.
You can check the official documentation if this helps: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/testing
In my current project https://github.com/KeepSafe/TapTargetView is used to showcase a tutorial for new user. I am planning to convert my project in Jetpack compose. How this library can be used in Composables? Is there any similar library for Jetpack Compose only?
Better raise an issue in the GitHub repository so the library maintainers can decide to make compose version of the library
There is a way to use existing layouts in compose using AndroidView but I'm not sure about how perfect it will be for this library.
I know I'm late to the party but there's this library inspired by TapTargetView and it's made for Compose: Intro Showcase View which is really similar to the original one. Hope others may find this useful.
I have basic understanding of java and how classes works.
please guide me in the right path.
kindly give brief summary of steps that i have to follow in this journey.
Look at this website. I find it quite useful- https://roadmap.sh/android
Here's the Android Developer Documentation. Considering that Kotlin is the preferred language to use for Android development, I would suggest expanding your knowledge of object-oriented programming in Kotlin rather than Java.
The documentation provides links to guides/tutorials that will walk you through the basics of an Android application while also establishing proper coding practices in Kotlin. I personally find the docs very useful in this regard, as I'm currently refactoring a legacy app written in Java.
I recommend using the google codelabs to learn topics, these codelabs are updated by the Android dev team use best practices. If you are just starting out I would recommend learning Kotlin over java, Kotlin is the recommend langue by the Android Dev team, Kotlin takes advantage of coroutines.
Here is the Android dev guide for beginners, I would work through these modules. I still refer to them from time to time.

I am new to android development using kotlin, I have no problem implementing functions, but i dont know how to go about the UI, does kotlin has a framework for that like flutter or i am to build my UI using XML
Jetpack Compose launched recently which has a declarative approach for building the UI just like flutter. It works with Kotlin.
Check more about it here :) ( you don't need to use XML if you are using Jetpack Compose in your project )
