android-xml-to-compose-migration

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you modernize legacy Android user interfaces by translating XML layouts and View-based screens into idiomatic Jetpack Compose while preserving behavior during migration.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Layout Migration: Map common XML structures such as LinearLayout, ConstraintLayout, RecyclerView, and ViewPager2 to Compose equivalents like Column, ConstraintLayout, LazyColumn, and HorizontalPager.
• Widget and Theme Migration: Replace Views such as TextView, ImageView, EditText, Button, and Toolbar with Compose components and Material 3 theming tokens.
• Interop and Incremental Rollout: Use ComposeView and AndroidView to migrate one screen at a time, review completed screens, and safely phase out XML without rewriting the whole app at once.
• Use Case: If you have an AAOS media screen built with fragments, XML layouts, and adapters, this Skill guides you through converting it to Compose while keeping lifecycle handling, state flow, and navigation behavior intact.

Quick Start

Ask for a migration plan or rewrite for a specific XML screen, and provide the layout or screen name you want converted to Jetpack Compose.
