There were a lot of deliberate decisions behind the approach we took for adding compile time type safety to Navigation Compose including using existing compiler plugins instead of writing our own, minimizing 'infectious' Navigation dependencies, and more.
Navigation Compose 🤝 Type Safety
Add compile time type safety to your Navigation Compose screens by using the Kotlin Serialization based APIs available in Navigation 2.8.0-alpha08. →

The new Database Inspector in Android Studio 4.1 Canary 5 is 💯
I'm particularly fond of the built in support for Room, which gives you an icon right next to each Query in your DAO to run the query in the Database Inspector (with support for parameters!)

Bridging the gap between the "survives configuration change" world of ViewModel with the "survives process death and recreation" world of saved instance state make modularizing your logic a lot easier - no more having your Activity/Fragment save state on a ViewModel's behalf
