Android Jetpack Compose - Design User Profile UI

Last Updated : 28 Apr, 2025

Jetpack Compose is a modern Android UI toolkit by Google that simplifies the process of building beautiful and responsive user interfaces. It allows developers to create UI components using a declarative approach, making it easier to build and maintain complex UIs while providing a seamless user experience. In this article, we will show you how to create a User Profile UI using Jetpack Compose.

Prerequisites:

Familiar with Kotlin
Basic understanding of Jetpack Compose
Android Studio

So, we are just going to create a User Profile UI using Jetpack compose (Kotlin). our final UI will look like it.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Step 1: Create a new android studio project

The first step is to create a new Android Studio project. To create a new project using Jetpack Compose please refer to How to Create a New Project in Android Studio Canary Version with Jetpack Compose.

Step 2: Add dependencies

Once the project is created, you will need to add the following dependencies to your build.gradle file

dependencies {
    implementation("androidx.compose.material3:material3:1.1.0")
}

Step 3: Create a Kotlin class ProfileScreen.kt

The ProfileScreen consists of three parts: the user's details, popular content, and options. The user's details include the user's image, name, and email address, etc. Popular content includes famous posts and other users' activity details. The options include a list of buttons that allow the user to access different features of the app.

Kotlin

import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable

@Composable
fun ProfileScreen(onGoBack: () -> Unit) {
  
}

Step 4: Create another Kotlin data class ProfileModel.kt

Kotlin

data class ProfilePopularList(
    val name: String,
    val description: String,
    val star: String,
    val language: String
)

data class ImageTextList(
    val icon: DCodeIcon,
    val text: String
)

Step 5: Create another Kotlin class MyIcons.kt

Kotlin

/**
 * Damahe Code icons. Material icons are [ImageVector]s, custom icons are drawable resource IDs.
 */
object MyIcons {
    val List = Icons.Rounded.List
    val Info = Icons.Rounded.Info
    val AccountBox = Icons.Default.AccountBox
    val Location = Icons.Rounded.LocationOn
    val ArrowBack = Icons.Filled.ArrowBack
    val Search = Icons.Filled.Search
    val MoreVert = Icons.Filled.MoreVert
    val Star = Icons.Filled.Star
    val Email = Icons.Filled.Email
    val Share = Icons.Filled.Share
    val Edit = Icons.Filled.Edit
    val KeyboardArrowRight = Icons.Default.KeyboardArrowRight

    val AppIcon = R.drawable.ic_launcher_background
    val Policy = R.drawable.ic_policy_24dp
}

/**
 * A sealed class to make dealing with [ImageVector] and [DrawableRes] icons easier.
 */
sealed class DCodeIcon {
    data class ImageVectorIcon(val imageVector: ImageVector) : DCodeIcon()
    data class DrawableResourceIcon(@DrawableRes val id: Int) : DCodeIcon()
}

Step 6: Create another Kotlin data class FeatureList.kt

Kotlin

data class FeatureList(
    val name: String,
    val listIcon: DCodeIcon,
    val githubUrl: String,
)

Step 7: Putting it all together

                        }
                    }
                }
            }

        when (featureList.listIcon) {

            is DrawableResourceIcon -> Icon(

        }
        Icon(

            contentDescription = null,
            modifier = Modifier.padding(4.dp)
        )
    }
}

Now add fun ProfileScreen() that contains all the functions, in MainActivity as

Kotlin

import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.activity.ComponentActivity
import androidx.activity.compose.setContent
 
class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            DCodeAppTheme {
                ProfileScreen(
                  onGoBack = { }
                )
            }
        }
    }
}

Finally, This code creates a User Profile UI that looks like the following:
