  android:layout_height="match_parent"  
  tools:context=".TextViewSample">  
  <LinearLayout  
   android:id="@+id/ll_main_layout"  
   android:layout_width="match_parent"  
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
   android:orientation="vertical">  
   <TextView

    /** Dynamic creation of text view */
    val tv_programtically = TextView(this)
    tv_programtically.textSize = 20f
    tv_programtically.text = "This textview is an dynamic textview in kotlin"
    /**------end--------**/

    // add TextView to LinearLayout

Today I am going to share my first JetPack Compose Tutorial. Here we learn how\nto setup android compose in android studio. We see the rquired dependency and other settings.

Step 1: Installation:  First we have to download Android Studio Arctic Fox. That’s because when we use Android Studio to develop our app with Jetpack Compose, we can benefit from smart editor features, such as New Project templates and the ability to immediately
preview our Compose UI.

Step2: Create android app :  After the installint of latest android studio from link now lets 

create an app.

• Open Android Studio > select File > New > New Project from the menu bar.  
• In the Select a Project Template window, select Empty Compose Activity and click Next.
• In the Configure your project window, do the following:
  1. Set the Name, Package name, and Save location as you normally would.
  2. Note that, in the Language dropdown menu, Kotlin is the only available option because Jetpack Compose works only with classes written in Kotlin.
  3. In the Minimum API level dropdown menu, select API level 21 or higher.
• Click Finish.  

   You can see below dependecny in your app build.gradle file which is required for Compose.
