Accompanist is a group of libraries that aim to supplement Jetpack Compose with features that are commonly required by developers but not yet available.
Currently, Accompanist contains:
🖼️ Image loading libraries
Jetpack Compose implementations of two popular image loading libraries: Coil and Glide.
📐 Insets
A library that brings WindowInsets support to Jetpack Compose.
🍫 System UI Controller
A library that provides easy-to-use utilities for recoloring the Android system bars from Jetpack Compose.
🎨 AppCompat Theme Adapter
A library that enables the reuse of AppCompat XML themes for theming in Jetpack Compose.
📖 Pager
A library that provides utilities for building paginated layouts in Jetpack Compose, similar to Android's ViewPager.
📫 Permissions
A library that provides Android runtime permissions support for Jetpack Compose.
⏳ Placeholder
A library that provides easy-to-use modifiers for displaying a placeholder UI while content is loading.
🌊 Flow Layouts
A library that adds Flexbox-like layout components to Jetpack Compose.
⬇️ Swipe to Refresh
A library that provides a layout implementing the swipe-to-refresh UX pattern, similar to Android's SwipeRefreshLayout.
Updates
Jetpack Compose is a fast-moving project and we aim to keep these these libraries up-to-date with the latest tagged release on Compose as quickly as possible. Each release outlines what version of the Compose libraries it depends on.
Future?
Any of the features available in this group of libraries may become obsolete in the future, at which point they will (probably) become deprecated.
We will aim to provide a migration path (where possible), to whatever supersedes the functionality.
Snapshots
Snapshots of the current development version of Accompanist are available, which track the latest commit. See here for more information.
Why the name?
The library is all about adding some utilities around Compose. Music composing is done by a composer, and since this library is about supporting composition, the supporting role of an accompanist felt like a good name.
