Hey Junior! Jetpack Compose to define layouts

In Android development, creating flexible and dynamic interfaces for users is essential to provide a soft experience to the users. With the introduction of Jetpack Compose, we have a modern approach and the power to define layouts in an efficient way. In this article, we should explore the use of Jetpack Compose to the definition of layouts, allowing the creation of flexible, responsive, and attractive interfaces.

The definition of layouts using the Jetpack Compose is made in a declarative way and based on code. Instead of working with XML files, we can use compound functions to create an inheritance of components and define the struct of our user interface. This allows us to have more granular control over the appearance and behavior of elements of the interface.

@Composable
fun MyLayout() {
    Column(
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxSize()
            .padding(16.dp)
    ) {
        Text(
            text = "Título",
            style = MaterialTheme.typography.h5,
            modifier = Modifier.padding(bottom = 16.dp)
        )
        Button(
            onClick = { /* Lógica do bot?o */ },
            modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()
        ) {
            Text(text = "Clique aqui")
        }
    }
}        

In this example above, the function 'column' creates a vertical column that fills all the available space on the screen. We define a title using the component 'Text', and then, we added one button using the component 'Button'. We used the 'modifier' to apply style and behavior to the components, such as padding, maximum width, and text style.

The Jetpack Compose brought a new age to creating Android user interfaces, offering a modern approach and powerful layout definition. When using compound functions and a declarative approach, we can create a flexible and responsive interface in an efficient way. By mastering the use of Jetpack Compose to define layouts, we will be prepared to create attractive and soft interfaces for the users.
