New Screen Skill

Create a new Jetpack Compose screen following MateDroid's patterns.

Project Structure

Screens are located in app/src/main/java/com/matedroid/ui/screens/:

screens/
├── dashboard/
│   └── DashboardScreen.kt
├── drives/
│   ├── DrivesScreen.kt
│   └── DriveDetailScreen.kt
├── charges/
│   ├── ChargesScreen.kt
│   └── ChargeDetailScreen.kt
├── settings/
│   └── SettingsScreen.kt
└── {feature}/
    └── {Feature}Screen.kt

Process

1. Ask the user for:

   • Screen name (e.g., "Battery Health")
   • Brief description of what it displays
   • Whether it needs navigation parameters

2. Read an existing screen as reference (e.g., DashboardScreen.kt)

3. Create the new screen file following the pattern

Screen Template

package com.matedroid.ui.screens.{feature}

import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.*
import androidx.compose.material3.*
import androidx.compose.runtime.*
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.res.stringResource
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp
import com.matedroid.R

@OptIn(ExperimentalMaterial3Api::class)
@Composable
fun {Feature}Screen(
    onNavigateBack: () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier
) {
    Scaffold(
        topBar = {
            TopAppBar(
                title = { Text(stringResource(R.string.{feature}_title)) },
                navigationIcon = {
                    IconButton(onClick = onNavigateBack) {
                        Icon(
                            imageVector = Icons.AutoMirrored.Filled.ArrowBack,
                            contentDescription = stringResource(R.string.back)
                        )
                    }
                }
            )
        }
    ) { paddingValues ->
        Column(
            modifier = modifier
                .fillMaxSize()
                .padding(paddingValues)
                .padding(16.dp)
        ) {
            // Screen content here
        }
    }
}

After Creating the Screen

1. Add string resources for the screen title using the translate skill
2. Add navigation route to the app's navigation graph
3. Remind the user to wire up the navigation

Common Patterns

Loading State

var isLoading by remember { mutableStateOf(true) }

if (isLoading) {
    CircularProgressIndicator()
} else {
    // Content
}

API Data Fetching

LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
    // Fetch data from TeslamateApiService
}

Pull to Refresh

val pullRefreshState = rememberPullToRefreshState()
PullToRefreshBox(state = pullRefreshState, isRefreshing = isRefreshing) {
    // Content
}

Cards

Card(
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
    colors = CardDefaults.cardColors(
        containerColor = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.surfaceVariant
    )
) {
    // Card content
}
