Showkase is an annotation-processor based Android library that organizes, discovers, searches, and visualizes Jetpack Compose UI elements such as composables, colors, and typography. It auto-generates an in-app browser with permutations like dark mode, RTL, and scaled fonts to catch UI issues early.

Use cases

• browse and search all Jetpack Compose components in my app
• build a design system browser for Android without manual work
• preview composables in dark mode and RTL layouts
• find duplicate or reusable UI components in a large codebase
• visualize colors and typography from my design system
• catch UI issues early with auto-generated component permutations

When to choose

• your Android team uses Jetpack Compose and struggles with component discoverability
• you maintain a design system and need a searchable component browser
• you want automatic previews of composables under dark mode, RTL, and font scaling
• you already use @Preview and want those components surfaced in a browser

When to avoid

• your project uses XML Views instead of Jetpack Compose
• you need iOS, web, or cross-platform component previews
• you want screenshot testing or CI visual regression rather than an interactive browser
