I'm proud of Gradle Best Practices finally launching. It was a result of many hours of discussions, negotiations, and wordsmithing to bring you the first batch of best practices. It was a deep collaboration between Google, Jetbrains, and Gradle. Enjoy it! blog.gradle.org/gradle-best-... #gradle

A small but extremely useful foundational API added in #JetpackCompose 1.8: LocalWindowInfo.current.containerSize It's the best way to get the size of the window, which should form the basis for any breakpoint logic for top-level layouts like window size classes. #AndroidDev

UI that isn't tested is UI that can break. There are Compose techniques for each part of testing - quick verification when iterating, and automating both visual tests and behavior tests. And coming in Compose 1.8, don't miss the new DeviceConfigurationOverride.WindowInsets for testing insets!
