Chapter 9:

  • Typo under Advanced Features of ConstraintLayout, the last line says “These are known as **Guidelines8”. I believe the 8 should have been two asterisks and a full stop is missing.

  • When discussing Guidelines, I believe that saying You can give the screen percentage if you want the guideline to display in the same place is misleading. I believe the documentation explains it as a percentage inside the parent composable. Which doesn’t seem to be the same thing.

  • When discussing Barriers, in the example image, it could me more accurate if the texts were aligned to the end.

Chapter 10:

  • In key points, the third points mentions emptyContent() as a function which I couldn’t find anywhere in the chapter or sourcecode.

  • Under Migrate Effects section, DisposableEffect is named but never mentioned before or explained. Only mentioned again in the key points.
