The following approaches are used to improve performance in Jetpack Compose:
- Using
rememberandrememberSaveableto preserve state and prevent unnecessary recomputations. - Optimizing recomposition: minimizing the area that is recomposed by breaking the UI into smaller components.
- Using
derivedStateOfto compute values that depend on state, avoiding unnecessary updates. - Avoiding heavy computations inside Composable functions — offloading them to ViewModel or using asynchronous operations.
- Lazy components (
LazyColumn,LazyRow) for efficient list rendering with item loading as you scroll. - Using
keyin lists for proper item tracking and update optimization.
Example of using remember and derivedStateOf:
@Composable
fun Greeting(name: String) {
val greetingMessage = remember(name) { "Hello, $name!" }
Text(text = greetingMessage)
}
@Composable
fun FilteredList(items: List<String>, query: String) {
val filteredItems by remember(query, items) {
derivedStateOf { items.filter { it.contains(query, ignoreCase = true) } }
}
LazyColumn {
items(filteredItems) { item ->
Text(item)
}
}
}
