Chapter 6: Writing the Android Consumer App

Now that we've implemented the shared code, we should put it to the test. We'll start with the easier step first; that is, consuming the shared module from the Android code. This chapter will be a more concise one as teaching Android development is outside the scope of this book. With that said, I consider it important to see how that shared KMM code can be consumed by the targeted platforms.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:

  • Setting up the Android module
  • Tying the Android app to the shared code
  • Implementing the UI on Android
