Compose UI 1.9.0-alpha01 introduces custom bullets for annotated strings. The methods withBulletList and withBulletListItem let you set custom shapes and brushes, so the sky is the limit! What do you think about my cute todo-list bullets?

What's holding you back from upgrading to 1.8 at this point?
This resonated a lot, thank you so much for sharing 💚
That's more of an architectural question vs a Compose question. But yes, you'll definitely want to re-use your player instance(s).
Have you checked the new PreloadManager? That was built specifically with short form video use cases in mind? See github.com/android/soci...

#Android #VideoPlayback
Why this approach? We're giving you the flexibility you need. Instead of a pre-built UI, you get robust, tested state logic. This ensures your custom controls are perfectly synced with playback. Reliability of Media3 + creative freedom of Compose = 🤩
This release contains:
- PlayerSurface: Clean wrapper for Surface/Texture for easy video rendering.
- PresentationState: Smoother transitions between playlist items.
- Composable State Classes: Build your own UI controls! Play/Pause, Next/Prev, Shuffle, Repeat, and more to come!
🚀 Big news for Android devs using Jetpack Compose! Media3 just dropped version 1.6.0, and it includes a brand new artifact: media3-ui-compose! Finally, seamless and customizable video playback directly in your Compose apps. 🎬 #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose #Media3
Documentation for performHapticFeedback - first line says: "BZZTT!!1!". LOL
Had to laugh out loud when I encountered this performHapticFeedback reference doc remark 🤣
Got you! Accidental clickbait haha 😆
Cool story about the Android Calculator app. Or why (10^100) + 1 − (10^100) could erroneously show as 1, not 0. TLDR: it's complicated 😅

Mobile device showing a video of a water bottle. Showing white circle and confetti for each tap to focus event.
Combining CameraX and Jetpack Compose unlocks a lot of powerful and cool UI experiences. For example - you could burst some confetti whenever a user taps to focus!
Thanks to @dionsegijn.bsky.social who wrote the awesome Konfetti library 🎊

🚀 Did you know there's a new Compose artifact for working with CameraX?
Let me tell you all about it in a new blog post series "Unlocking the Power of CameraX in Jetpack Compose".
In part 1, I explain how to use the new artifact and show a camera preview in your app.

I'll raise this to see if we can change the order here somehow. I know the pain :)
Ahh that's cool! So let me try to understand; you registered your broadcast receiver in your manifest, launched a foreground service when it was called, and then in the foreground service you render Compose UI?
Did you encounter any strange effects while using Compose to draw on top of other apps?
Did you write any code using Compose for that use case? In general broadcast receivers and foreground services are a very complex area, I'm coming in from the Compose side trying to understand where they overlap.
Hey #AndroidDev folks! Is there anything related to Broadcast Receivers + Jetpack Compose + app architecture that confused you or that you thought was unclear from the docs when implementing them in your app?
Followed up anyway and indeed Android Studio / Intellij doesn't use type information for auto-complete as it requires too much processing and would make auto-complete too slow. Using smart completion will do what you need.
The latest #ComposeTip for Delightful UI has been released 🥳
In this episode, we play with a few of my favorite things: Graphics layers, BlendModes and ColorFilters 🥰

Can you give a specific example so I can raise this internally?

Ok, first post. *thinks of something interesting*
Honest question - why would one attach a broadcast receiver to an Activity context vs Application context? Docs say it's because it will be tied to the lifecycle, but then continue to say you NEED to unregister because otherwise it'll leak...
