Then keep using it! The `icons-extended` artifact continues to work, it just won't be receiving any further updates (like the underlying 'Material Icon' set which has been replaced by 'Material Symbols')

Not an ebike but the gears are electronic. Generally I love them as they change perfectly every time, even under load. But having something else to charge and maintain can be a pain.

Last week I had to upgrade the firmware on my bike's gears and today I have to factory reset my sunglasses. What a time to be alive!

Compose 1.9 just hit beta01 & another exciting feature landing is a way to reliably determine if something is visible on screen & a way to get notified of visibility changes π£
π
New modifiers are entering the chat in this space: Modifier.onFirstVisible() & Modifier.onVisibilityChanged().
Playing around with the UI for fun. Designing such micro-interactions and animations is a breeze thanks to Compose.
P.S. If you didn't catch it, a full vinyl rotation takes exactly 1800ms. That's 33 RPM πΆπΏ
I'm excited to be speaking at #DroidconNYC next Thursday, hope to see you there!
I'll be covering how to handle configuration changes in Compose, and specifically trying to answer the question of what you should put in android:configChanges and - probably more importantly - why.
#AndroidDev
You've asked for this... and now Compose 1.9 alpha introduces two new modifiers π Modifier.innerShadow() and Modifier.dropShadow()
Allowing you to more closely align your designs to your Figma specs, unlocking fun effects like Neumorphic type UIs π

Scenes!
If there's only one concept to call out for Navigation 3, it's scenes. The abstraction layer allows showing multiple panes at a time, and in different ways.
It's the integration hook that integrates Navigation3 with ListDetailPaneScaffold in a flexible, satisfying way.
Bravo, excellent work π

I'm proud of Gradle Best Practices finally launching. It was a result of many hours of discussions, negotiations, and wordsmithing to bring you the first batch of best practices. It was a deep collaboration between Google, Jetbrains, and Gradle. Enjoy it!

#gradle
A small but extremely useful foundational API added in #JetpackCompose 1.8: LocalWindowInfo.current.containerSize
It's the best way to get the size of the window, which should form the basis for any breakpoint logic for top-level layouts like window size classes.
#AndroidDev
I celebrated by running a long way.
