# Jetpack Compose

Jetpack Compose components for building native Android interfaces with @expo/ui.
Android, Included in Expo Go

The Jetpack Compose components in `@expo/ui/jetpack-compose` allow you to build fully native Android interfaces using Jetpack Compose from React Native.

## Installation

```sh
# npm
npx expo install @expo/ui

# yarn
yarn expo install @expo/ui

# pnpm
pnpm expo install @expo/ui

# bun
bun expo install @expo/ui
```

If you are installing this in an [existing React Native app](/bare/overview.md), make sure to [install `expo`](/bare/installing-expo-modules.md) in your project.

## Usage

Using a component from `@expo/ui/jetpack-compose` requires wrapping it in a [`Host`](/versions/v57.0.0/sdk/ui/jetpack-compose/host.md) component. The `Host` is a container for Jetpack Compose views.

```tsx
import { Host, Button } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export function SaveButton() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Button onClick={() => alert('Saved!')}>Save changes</Button>
    </Host>
  );
}
```
