A gardening-themed Android sample app from Google that demonstrates Android development best practices and documents the migration from a View-based (Material 2) UI to Jetpack Compose (Material 3). The repository is no longer maintained, with compose-samples recommended as the up-to-date alternative.

Use cases

  • learn jetpack compose by example
  • see how to migrate a view-based android app to compose
  • android app architecture best practices sample
  • study material 3 theming in compose
  • reference for embedding androidview in compose
  • kotlin android sample project to learn from

When to choose

  • you want a real-world example of migrating Views to Jetpack Compose
  • you are learning modern Android app architecture with Kotlin
  • you need a reference for Material 3 and AndroidViewBinding interop

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained Compose sample - use android/compose-samples instead
  • you want a production gardening app rather than a learning sample
  • you need the original View-based implementation without forking the views branch
