Seems like a great way to template your work.

Love this topic... 🔥

[@adarshtechstore]

I have two questions.
1) why upload the app root module?
2)can we only upload our "Module" and it can run?

[@MobileDeveloper]

This is exactly what I need :)

[@borisshabanov6702]

Waiting this topic from you =)

[@user-xz2lc8ni5l]

Great as usual!!
for new compose projects the import will look like: implementation(project(":YOUR-LIB-NAME"))

[@IT_business_in_Russia]

Thank you man! Before this video, i could not find how to fix my problem gradle not resolving the dependency. It turned out we should put the maven{ url... } in the settings.gradle file in repositories{} section

[@user-cd8kf9ws9f]

Hey phillip,
Great video. Does the same method also work for KMM project. I have my UI in commonMain. Do I have to add yml file to shared or the rootProject folder. I've created xcframework for the shared module which works fine on iOS and created maven local lib to use it in my android app. I need to make the library available through gitlab for android. Does this method work for that?

[@cestlacroix]

Useful!

[@nabazbarzanji3221]

Useful👏

[@alij3fer]

Good Job bro 😍

[@giovankabisano2266]

Thanks for the great explanation.
Just wondering, is this method also applicable for Gitlab?
Also how if the repository is private (for internal company usage purpose), can it still become a library?

[@vidyesh]

Will the library using an older version of compose work in an android project running on newer version of compose? for e.g.library uses compose_version='1.0.2' and project uses compose_version='1.0.3'.

[@gastonsaillen2226]

That’s why you have the api documentation where you should specify to users which version they should use , and also you should keep your library updated

[@EverythingWithKotlin]

Hey philipp .. can you make a tutorial on how to modularize our project please ?

[@MsCpktnwt]

Thanks sir

Hi, which is the right way to publish maven libraty using gradle kts ?

[@tyviroth1319]

Thanks you

[@violenttendency9328]

thanks you for the video!!! i keep getting error "no build artificats found" . Do you have any idea why that might be?

[@GeorgeTrialonis]

Hi Philipp. I have created a new module, 'ClassifyMole', which is a class-file ('ClassifyUtil'') with a function inside, 'classifyImage", which includes a variable carrying a tensorflow light model. I want this function to be shared by 'CameraShootMole' and 'GalleryCheckMole' files in the main app. However, the 'classifyImage' function in the module remains inactive (never used) and the 'classifyImage' portion of line 'ClassifyUtil.classifyImage(image)' in both the above mentioned files of the main app is in red. What should I do to activate the function to be shared? Should I do any changes to build.gradle files? Needles to say that I have imported the new module in both files of the main app, and also included the implement project (':ClassifyMole') line in the build gradle of the main app. Thanks.

[@feruribeglobant8662]

How can I show design created in compose from the library, without my client application contents compose dependencies?

[@madanyadav9387]

Very usefull..

[@mwdch]

hey Philipp! great Vids, Think we can have a demo on how to publish a library from a private bitbucket repository?

[@redwansharafatkabir9644]

Thanks, man. Your videos are great.

[@maskedredstonerproz]

I was literally wondering about that a few weeks ago

[@mattgraves3709]

It's the concept refresher that I really appreciate anymore but realistically these are the types of things that people are going to be doing 75% of the Android jobs out there. You may be working on some smaller subset or module, but you will definitely need to know how to create libraries import the libraries and use them

[@bgtec516]

hi philipp ! can you do a video on modularisation

[@gauravkumar-bs3pf]

I am creating a library in a forked repository. So, can I release the library in the forked repo, or I will have to wait until the PR is merged?

[@neronguyenvn]

please have a video about publish an app because you already have a video about r8 and build release variant too, thank you

[@SpaceTimeBeing_]

How can you create a kotlin class library in Eclipse IDE and import and use in Android studio?
Say you want an independent model class library.

[@krzysztoffarys7189]

nice stuff

[@rajushingadiya2860]

it was amazing and so easy , i have one feedback if possible also explain how to update version, also any cicd pipeline posible make direct release from android studio without going jitpack and do get it everytime.

[@grazianorizzi8343]

I cannot resolve "release(MavenPubblication)" i use Kotlin DSL instead of groovy. What am i doing wrong?

[@nilayparikh6693]

Hello bro I am making one application for doctors in that I got stuck at one point. In my app I have add config of selected multiple diseases and after that by clicking on anyone disease it will redirect to you the another fragment.so this is only for 1 disease I have approx 20 types of disease so for that building 20 fragment is not good. so can you guide me how I have to do that? I am looking forward from helping by you Thank you .

[@ishaileshmishra]

Much better and simple than maven documentation.

[@CarlosTapia-li6mc]

Good video

[@technicalwizard2200]

Sir, I have not understood this, what will have to be added in it artifactId

[@mateuszu3564]

Great video! Can I build library without app module? I think it can be easily to maintain later. When use in other projects.

Is Lenovo legion 5 pro good for android and web development purposes?
Processor and memory features -
• 11th generation, core i7
• 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
• 6GB graphic/ NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
Or I should go for MacBook Air or Pro m1
With 16GB unified memory and 1TB SSD...?

[@thyagonevessilvestre1248]

The Lenovo setup is enough, but with a Mac you can also develop for ios.

Very less informational video, there is no clear information about yml file and those lines you pasted on build.gradle file. Make a video on those in details. What the meaning of those lines you have written and the use case of yml file.
