Android Compose XML Interoperability
When To Use
- Use this skill when the request is about: compose in fragment, androidview in compose, incremental compose migration.
- Primary outcome: Bridge Compose and the View system safely during incremental migrations, interoperability screens, and shared theming.
- Handoff skills when the scope expands:
android-viewsystem-foundationsandroid-compose-foundations
Workflow
- Identify whether the target surface is Compose, View system, or a mixed interoperability screen.
- Select the lowest-friction UI pattern that satisfies responsiveness, accessibility, and performance needs.
- Build the UI around stable state, explicit side effects, and reusable design tokens.
- Exercise edge cases such as long text, font scaling, RTL, and narrow devices in the fixture apps.
- Validate with unit, UI, and screenshot-friendly checks before handing off.
Guardrails
- Optimize for stable state and predictable rendering before adding animation or abstraction.
- Respect accessibility semantics, contrast, focus order, and touch target guidance by default.
- Do not mix Compose and View system ownership without an explicit interoperability boundary.
- Prefer measured performance work over premature micro-optimizations.
Anti-Patterns
- Embedding navigation or business logic directly in leaf UI components.
- Using fixed dimensions that break on localization or dynamic text.
- Ignoring semantics and announcing only visual changes.
- Porting XML patterns directly into Compose without adapting the mental model.
Examples
Happy path
- Scenario: Embed a Compose task summary inside the XML fixture without ownership confusion.
- Command:
cd examples/orbittasks-xml && ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug
Edge case
- Scenario: Host a View-based screen from a Compose entry point during phased migration.
- Command:
cd examples/orbittasks-compose && ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug
Failure recovery
- Scenario: Separate interoperability prompts from pure View or pure Compose requests.
- Command:
python3 scripts/eval_triggers.py --skill android-compose-xml-interoperability
Done Checklist
- The implementation path is explicit, minimal, and tied to the right Android surface.
- Relevant example commands and benchmark prompts have been exercised or updated.
- Handoffs to adjacent skills are documented when the request crosses boundaries.
- Official references cover the chosen pattern and the main migration or troubleshooting path.

FAQ
What does Android Compose XML Interoperability do?
Bridge Compose and the View system safely during incremental migrations, interoperability screens, and shared theming.
Who made Android Compose XML Interoperability?
krutikJain (a community member) publishes it in the krutikJain/android-agent-skills repository on GitHub.
Is Android Compose XML Interoperability free?
Yes. Android Compose XML Interoperability is open source, published by krutikJain under the MIT license.
What comes with Android Compose XML Interoperability?
Its instructions and 5 files the agent reads only when a task needs them, such as references, examples or scripts.
Which agents can use Android Compose XML Interoperability?
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.
