Jetpack Compose: Update state of another function's variable

Introduction In modern Android development, Jetpack Compose has simplified UI design by enabling declarative programming, where UI components respond to changes in state directly. The example code provided showcases how to use Jetpack Compose in Kotlin to create a dynamic UI. Specifically, it demonstrates how to update the state of a variable across composable functions, illustrating the reactivity Compose offers for managing UI states. This code provides a great learning opportunity for understanding state management in Jetpack Compose, particularly how to share and update the state between different composables. This example uses a simple scaffold layout in Compose, with a button that increments a counter displayed in the top app bar. By following a declarative pattern, it emphasizes the effective use of MutableState to manage UI changes. Let's break down each part of the code to understand how the state is managed, passed, and displayed across different composables. MainActivit...
