This is just a quick post to highlight how easy it can be to publish libraries to Maven Central.

In terms of blogging I tend to live in a bit of double world. For work, we publish a lot of our content on Medium, and that covers a lot of the blog posts that I write.

How the build speed, APK size and source line count changed after migrating the Tivi sample app to Jetpack Compose

Using Material Design Components to implement a dark theme

Creating seamless keyboard animations using WindowInsetAnimation

New WindowInsets APIs for checking the keyboard (IME) visibility and size

This blog post is the second of two which explores how coroutines enables you to write complex asynchronous UI operations in a much simpler way. The first post goes through the theory, while this post demonstrates how they fix a problem.

Coroutines are great at modelling problems which work across threads, but can also model asynchronous problems on the same thread.

In this fourth post, we’re going to cover what you can do if your app needs to draw across the entire screen, with the system bars hidden.
