### AI overview

This article explains why Compose stability still matters when Strong Skipping Mode is enabled. It describes how unstable parameters are compared by instance equality, which can prevent composables from skipping and lead to unnecessary recompositions, and discusses automatic lambda memoization.

Strong Skipping Mode doesn't make Compose stability obsolete. Discover the hidden referential equality trap causing silent recompositions in your app.

### AI overview

This article introduces Compose Stability Analyzer 0.7.0, focusing on its Recomposition Cascade Visualizer and Live Recomposition Heatmap. It explains how the heatmap uses ADB-connected device events to display runtime recomposition counts in Android Studio.

### Source excerpt

Jetpack Compose's stability system determines whether a composable function can be skipped during recomposition. When all parameters are stable, Compose can compare them and skip the function entirely if nothing changed. When even one parameter is unstable, the composable must re-execute every time its parent recomposes. Understanding which composables are stable and which are not is the first step toward optimizing Compose performance, but it's not the whole picture. Compose Stability Analyzer has been providing real-time stability analysis directly in Android Studio through gutter icons, hover tooltips, inline hints, and code inspections. These features answer the question "is this composable stable?" at a glance. Version 0.7.0 goes further by answering two additional questions that static analysis alone cannot address: "what happens downstream when this composable recomposes?" and "which composables are actually recomposing the most on a real device?" In this article, you'll explore the two new features introduced in version 0.7.0: the Recomposition Cascade Visualizer and the Live Recomposition Heatmap. Live Recomposition Heatmap Static analysis tells you which composables could recompose unnecessarily. The Live Recomposition Heatmap tells you which ones actually are. It bridges runtime behavior with your IDE by reading @TraceRecomposition events from a connected device via ADB and displaying live recomposition counts directly above composable functions in the editor. To use the heatmap, you need the Compose Stability Analyzer Gradle plugin applied to your project, composable functions annotated with @TraceRecomposition, and logging enabled via ComposeStabilityAnalyzer.setEnabled(true) in your Application class. With those in place, open the Compose Stability Analyzer tool window and click the Start/Stop button in the title bar. If one device is connected, monitoring begins immediately. If multiple devices are connected, a picker popup lets you choose which one t
