Exploring LazyColumn and LazyRow in Jetpack Compose: Efficient UI for Lists and Rows

<p>etpack Compose, the modern Android UI toolkit developed by Google, has revolutionized the way developers create user interfaces. With its declarative syntax and powerful components, building complex UIs has become more intuitive and efficient. One such set of components that enhance the performance of list and row views are&nbsp;<code>LazyColumn</code>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<code>LazyRow</code>. In this article, we will dive into these components and explore how they can be used to create efficient and responsive UIs with code examples.</p> <h1>Introducing LazyColumn and LazyRow</h1> <p><code>LazyColumn</code>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<code>LazyRow</code>&nbsp;are part of the Jetpack Compose library and are designed to handle large lists and rows of items in a memory-efficient manner. They only compose and render the items that are currently visible on the screen, which significantly reduces the memory consumption and improves the overall performance of the UI.</p> <p>In contrast to the traditional&nbsp;<code>RecyclerView</code>&nbsp;in Android Views, where all items are created and stored in memory, the LazyColumn and LazyRow follow a &quot;just-in-time&quot; approach. This means that as the user scrolls through the list or row, the framework will only create and display the items that are in the visible area, automatically recycling and reusing views as they move in and out of the screen.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@imkuldeepsinghrai/exploring-lazycolumn-and-lazyrow-in-jetpack-compose-efficient-ui-for-lists-and-rows-c12f02d66585">Visit Now</a></p>
