Evaluate the use of Jetpack Compose, Hilt, Flows in this project

[madhurgupta10]

Hilt is a dependency injection built on top of Dagger, it is much easier to understand and implement than Dagger. https://developer.android.com/training/dependency-injection/hilt-android

Flows is a Kotlin extension for coroutines and works best along with Jetpack Compose. https://developer.android.com/kotlin/flow

Jetpack Compose is the new popular UI toolkit for Android Apps. https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose
It has some significant advantages over XML and it seems like XML make be deprecated in future. It can be used along with XML so I suggest someone who is interested in working on this issue can start with a very basic activity and see how difficult is to move from XML to Jetpack Compose.

Please note that working on this issue would first need approval from collaborators and also extensive knowledge of the app codebase.

Hi @madhurgupta10, @nicolas-raoul , @psh
Seems like I am pretty late into discussion towards this. I am working on #6063, so while migrating the rxjava to retrofit would it be okay if I implement it using hilt.

Can you explain why you need Hilt? It seems to me that the principle of state hoisting puts dependencies in the right place for existing Dagger injection to serve them without adding an extra dependency.
