Styling text in Compose

Text styling can give your app character. In this talk, we use Jetchat to learn how to use Material APIs to configure typography, including using downloadable fonts and variable fonts. We’ll then customize our chat bubble so it collapses depending on how long the message is. We’ll end by styling the message box: giving it a gradient border, a cursor that changes color as you type, and a fully custom decorated box.
