Task Description: UI Implementation using Jetpack Compose

Objective: Develop the user interface (UI) for the application using Jetpack Compose, a modern toolkit for building native Android UIs.

Steps to Follow:

1. Setup Jetpack Compose:

   • Make sure you have the necessary dependencies and plugins for Jetpack Compose in your Android project.
   • Create a Composable function that represents the main UI screen.

2. Design the User Interface:

   • Design the layout of your UI using Compose's declarative syntax.
   • Utilize built-in Composables for common UI elements like Text, Button, Image, etc.
   • Organize the UI elements in a way that makes sense for the app's functionality.

3. Display the Username:

   • Create a Composable that displays the username using a Text element.
   • Use a state flow to update the displayed username whenever it changes.

4. Implement Click Handling:

   • Create a Composable for the button that users will click.
   • Define a function (e.g., onSubmitClicked) that will be triggered when the button is clicked.

5. Update State on Click:

   • Inside the onSubmitClicked function, update a state variable that tracks the event of the button being clicked.

6. Styling and Layout:

   • Apply styles to the UI elements to make them visually appealing and consistent.
   • Use layout composables to arrange UI elements in a visually pleasing manner.

7. Testing the UI:

   • Create preview functions to visualize how the UI will look under different conditions.
   • Manually interact with the UI while in preview mode to ensure it behaves as expected.

8. Integration with ViewModel (Optional):

   • If using the MVVM pattern, integrate the Composable UI with the ViewModel to fetch and display data.

9. Testing the Functionality:

   • Write tests to confirm that the UI elements are displayed correctly.
   • Write tests for the onSubmitClicked function to ensure it changes the state variable as intended.

Outcome: After completing these steps, the UI part of the application will be implemented using Jetpack Compose. The UI will display the username, respond to button clicks, and maintain the state of the click event. This will provide a foundation for further development and testing of the application's user interface.
