Jetpack Compose
Jetpack Compose components for building native Android interfaces with @expo/ui.
Android
This library is currently in alpha and will frequently experience breaking changes. It is not available in the Expo Go app — use development builds to try it out.
The Jetpack Compose components in @expo/ui/jetpack-compose allow you to build fully native Android interfaces using Jetpack Compose from React Native.
Installation
Terminal
- npx expo install @expo/uiIf you are installing this in an existing React Native app, make sure to install expo in your project.
Usage
Using a component from @expo/ui/jetpack-compose requires wrapping it in a Host component. The Host is a container for Jetpack Compose views.
import { Host, Button } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose'; export function SaveButton() { return ( <Host matchContents> <Button onClick={() => alert('Saved!')}>Save changes</Button> </Host> ); }
