Create a new Compose project

Android Studio projects need configuration to work with Relay. To start, create a project that supports Jetpack Compose version 1.2 or newer.

1. In Android Studio, create a new project (File > New > New Project…).

2. Select Empty Compose Activity and click Next.

   

3. Give your project a name. Accept all other defaults, including the language as Kotlin and the minimum SDK as API 21: Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and click Finish.

   

Edit module-level Gradle build file

Set up the module-level Gradle build file to use the Relay Gradle plugin.

1. Open build.gradle (Module: Hello_Figma.app — This can vary based on the name you entered above). This is the module-level Gradle build file.

   

2. Add the Relay plugin in the module's Gradle file as shown below, changing the version number as appropriate. Save the file.

   Groovy

   plugins {
     id 'com.android.application'
     id 'kotlin-android'
     id 'com.google.relay' version '0.3.12'
   }

   Kotlin

   plugins {
     id("com.android.application")
     id("kotlin-android")
     id("com.google.relay") version "0.3.12"
   }
