Developing the UI with Jetpack Compose

You’ve created and used composable functions, also known as composables, in the previous chapters to achieve tasks within the exercises. Some of the composables used were built-in composables such as Text and Button, and built-in layout groups of Row and Column. You then created your own composable functions using these building blocks.
This chapter provides a more in-depth look at basic composable functions and layout groups in Jetpack Compose. It demonstrates how to use them to build the UI and respond to state changes by recomposing the UI.
