Edge-to-Edge Migration
Priority: P1 (HIGH)
Structured workflow for migrating a Compose app to edge-to-edge display.
Prerequisites
- Project MUST use Jetpack Compose.
- Project MUST target SDK 35+. If lower, increase
compileSdkto 35.
Step 1: Plan
- Locate all Activity classes. For each without
enableEdgeToEdge(), plan to add it. - In each Activity, find all lists, FABs, and text fields that need inset handling.
- If
TextField/OutlinedTextFieldis present, plan IME inset handling.
Step 2: Enable edge-to-edge
- Add
enableEdgeToEdge()beforesetContentin everyActivity.onCreate. - Add
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"in AndroidManifest for Activities with soft keyboard.
Step 3: Apply insets
Choose ONE method per component to avoid double padding:
- PREFERRED — Scaffold: Pass
PaddingValuesto content lambda. - Material 3 components: Use built-in inset handling (
TopAppBar,NavigationBar, etc.). - Outside Scaffold: Use
Modifier.safeDrawingPadding()orwindowInsetsPadding.
See inset patterns for RIGHT/WRONG code examples.
Step 4: Handle IME
For Activities with soft keyboard:
- Set
adjustResizein manifest (NOT deprecatedSOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE). - Add
imePadding()orfitInside(WindowInsetsRulers.Ime.current)to content container. - Place
imePaddingBEFOREverticalScroll().
See inset patterns for IME-specific RIGHT/WRONG patterns.
Step 5: Lists and FABs
- Apply inset padding to
contentPaddingofLazyColumn/LazyRow, NOT asModifier.padding()on parent. - FABs inside Scaffold are handled automatically. Outside Scaffold, use
safeDrawingPadding().
Verification
- Every
ActivitycallsenableEdgeToEdge(). -
adjustResizeset in AndroidManifest for keyboard Activities. - Text fields have IME inset handling.
- List items scroll behind system bars via
contentPadding. -
./gradlew buildsucceeds.
Anti-Patterns
- No double inset padding: Never combine
contentWindowInsets = WindowInsets.safeDrawingwithimePadding()on the same content — causes double padding when IME opens. - No parent padding on lists: Apply insets to
contentPadding, not parentModifier.padding()— parent padding clips scrolling content. - No
SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE: Deprecated. Use manifestadjustResizeattribute.

FAQ
What does Android Edge To Edge do?
Migrate a Jetpack Compose app to edge-to-edge display and fix system bar inset issues. Use when UI components are obscured by navigation/status bars, fixing IME insets, or enabling edge-to-edge for SDK 35+.
Who made Android Edge To Edge?
HoangNguyen0403 (a community member) publishes it in the HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard repository on GitHub.
Is Android Edge To Edge free?
Yes. Android Edge To Edge is open source, published by HoangNguyen0403 under the MIT license.
What comes with Android Edge To Edge?
Its instructions and 2 files the agent reads only when a task needs them, such as references, examples or scripts.
Which agents can use Android Edge To Edge?
Any coding agent that reads SKILL.md files, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Gemini CLI. The agent loads the skill when a task matches its description.
What are agent skills?
An agent skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file: instructions that teach a coding agent how to do one kind of task, and optionally files it can read while it works. The agent keeps only the skill's name and description in mind and reads the rest when a task calls for it.
How are agent skills different from MCP servers?
An MCP server gives an agent new tools to call, code that runs somewhere and returns results. A skill gives it knowledge: how to approach a task with the tools it already has. Many agents use both.
How can my agent test my Android app?
Robomori lets coding agents create, start and control Android emulators and devices from one command, so they can install your app, take screenshots and check dark mode, font sizes and languages.
Instructions to make or update an app's UI so that it adapts to different Android devices including phones, tablets, foldables, laptops, desktop, TV, Auto, and XR. It includes how to handle different window sizes, pointing devices (such as mouse) and text entry devices (such as keyboard) using the Compose MediaQuery API, and how to preserve UI, navigation, scroll, and media playback state across configuration changes (such as folding/unfolding a foldable, rotating a device, or resizing a window). It also covers multi-pane layouts using Navigation3 Scenes, adaptive UI components (such as buttons) with varying target sizes, and adaptive layouts (including navigation areas - nav rails and nav bars) using the Compose Grid and FlexBox APIs. It also covers desktop experiences with keyboard shortcuts, tooltips and custom cursors.
Use this skill to migrate your Jetpack Compose app to add adaptive edge-to-edge support and troubleshoot common issues. Use this skill to fix UI components (like buttons or lists) that are obscured by or overlapping with the navigation bar or status bar, fix IME insets, and fix system bar legibility.
Adds inking and freehand drawing capabilities to an Android app using Jetpack Ink (androidx.ink) and Compose. Use this skill when implementing stylus or touch drawing surfaces, rendering wet and dry ink strokes, configuring stock brushes (pressure pen, marker, highlighter), implementing geometry-based erasing, linear undo and redo history, or stroke persistence with Room. Delivers working Compose and ViewModel implementations. Don't use for View-based (XML) inking or programmatic custom BrushFamily creation. For custom BrushFamily creation, custom tip shapes, or behavior node graphs, suggest the ink-custom-brush-builder skill.
Creates custom BrushFamily definitions for an Android app using Jetpack Ink (androidx.ink 1.1.0-alpha03 and higher). Use this skill when configuring custom BrushTip shapes, adding pressure, tilt, speed, or noise sensitivity using BrushBehavior node graphs, creating multi-coat layered brushes, applying tiling or particle stamping textures, configuring SlidingWindowModel input smoothing, or serializing brushes. Delivers complete Kotlin BrushFamily, BrushCoat, BrushTip, BrushPaint, and BrushBehavior implementations. Don't use for View-based (XML) inking, Compose drawing surface setup, or stock brush selection. For Compose drawing surface setup, InProgressStrokes wet and dry rendering, eraser, or persistence, suggest the ink-app-builder skill.
