XML to Compose Migration

Systematically convert Android XML layouts to idiomatic Jetpack Compose, preserving functionality while embracing Compose patterns.

Workflow

1. Analyse the XML Layout

• Identify the root layout type (ConstraintLayout, LinearLayout, FrameLayout, etc.)
• List all View widgets and their key attributes
• Map data binding expressions (@{}) or ViewBinding references
• Identify custom views that need special handling
• Note any include, merge, or ViewStub usage

2. Plan the Migration
