Welcome to Episode #9 of the Android Development Series (2025)! 🚀
In this video, we design a WhatsApp-inspired Chat App UI in Android Studio using Kotlin + Jetpack Compose.
You’ll learn how to:
• Build a modern chat screen layout with Compose
• Create message bubbles (sent & received)
• Add timestamps and scrolling behavior
• Style the UI to mimic WhatsApp’s clean design
• Organize components for scalability in future features
This project is perfect if you’re new to Android or want to practice UI design with real-world inspiration.
By the end, you’ll have a polished chat interface that looks great on any Android device and sets the stage for adding full chat functionality later.
