Learn to build an Android app using Android Studio, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and more. First, we'll download and install Android Studio, then start working with Kotlin in MainActivity.kt. Next, we'll create basic view components using Compose, a modern replacement for XML layouts.

Then we'll use a Card to create a design and also learn how to show a photo from the Vector Assets in Android Studio.

What is Compose?
Jetpack Compose is a new way of creating layouts in apps. If you've ever built an app previously you likely used XML layouts to create views, maybe even using ConstraintLayout, LinearLayout, TextView's, and ImageView's. These are no longer needed and Compose can be used to create this views using Kotlin instead of XML. This series both uses and recommends Android app developers use Compose instead of XML for layouts.
