kotlinChoosing state persistence in Jetpack Compose: rememberSaveable vs ViewModel with SavedStateHandle vs external storage
A decision guide for persisting Jetpack Compose UI state across configuration changes and process death, comparing rememberSaveable, ViewModel with SavedStateHandle, and external persistence with trade-offs and a concrete hoisting pattern.
Stop Recomposing the Whole Screen: State Hoisting in Jetpack Compose
A single mutableStateOf at the top of your composable tree causes full-screen recomposition on every keystroke. Hoisting state to the narrowest common ancestor narrows recomposition scope, enables stateless previews, and keeps unidirectional data flow honest.
State Hoisting in Jetpack Compose: Making Composables Testable and Reusable
A stateful Compose component is hard to test and reuse. Learn how to hoist state to the caller, keep composables stateless, and avoid the recomposition and prop-drilling traps.
Jetpack Compose Strong Skipping: What Changed and How to Verify It Works
Strong Skipping mode in Jetpack Compose Compiler 1.5.0+ infers lambda stability automatically, but conservative capture analysis and cross-module limits mean you must verify with compiler metrics and Layout Inspector before relying on it.
Persisting UI State in Jetpack Compose: From remember to rememberSaveable
Learn how to prevent UI state loss during Android configuration changes using remember, rememberSaveable, and derivedStateOf in Jetpack Compose.
Diagnosing Unnecessary Recompositions in Jetpack Compose
Step-by-step diagnostic guide to identify and fix unnecessary Compose recompositions causing UI jank, with a symptom table, ordered verification checks, targeted fixes, and escalation criteria.
