Now in Android is a fully functional Android news app built entirely with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, demonstrating official Android architecture and development best practices. It serves as a reference sample for developers while also delivering real Android development news content.

Use cases

  • learn modern Android app architecture with Jetpack Compose
  • reference sample for structuring a modular Kotlin Android project
  • study best practices for Android UI, testing, and dependency injection
  • keep up with Android development news on mobile
  • see how to organize a multi-module Android codebase
  • example of Compose UI patterns and offline-first data layers

When to choose

  • you want an authoritative, Google-maintained sample of current Android architecture guidance
  • you are starting a new Kotlin/Compose app and want a proven project structure to follow
  • you want to learn modularization, testing, and Compose patterns from a real production app

When to avoid

  • you need a ready-made news app to ship as your own product rather than a learning reference
  • you target platforms other than Android
  • you need a minimal starter template instead of a large, feature-complete sample codebase
