Description

The current About page is implemented using XML and a Fragment. This issue involves migrating the About page to Jetpack Compose. The goal is to replace the XML layout with a Compose-based UI and update the fragment's content view to use Compose. This ensures that the app remains functional throughout the migration, and ViewPager2 continues to work during the process.

The migration will replace RecyclerView with Compose alternatives like LazyRow and LazyColumn, removing the need for the existing adapter. For more details on handling LazyRow and LazyColumn, refer to this document.

@Jag-Marcel This could be an issue that could be good to get into Jetpack Compose. Happy to help in whatever way possible :)

Hii, @nebadesmondc if you haven't yet started this migration then can I work on it?

[nebadesmondc]

Hello, @Saifuddin53 Yes you can.

[andrewtavis]

Thanks for passing it over, @nebadesmondc! Hope to work with you on another issue sometime :)

@Saifuddin53, I would say let us know if you need help here normally, but then I see you have the PR up already 😊 Looking forward to the review!
