[Code Sample]

Compose is combination of 7 Maven Group Ids within androidx. Each Group contains a targeted subset of functionality, each with its own set of release notes. This table explains the groups and links to each set of release notes.

To add a dependency on Compose, you must add the Google Maven repository to your project. Read Google's Maven repository for more information.

Add the dependencies for the artifacts you need in the build.gradle file for your app or module:

android {
    buildFeatures {
        compose = true
    }
    composeOptions {
        kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion = "1.5.15"
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}

android {
    buildFeatures {
        compose true
    }
    composeOptions {
        kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion = "1.5.15"
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}
