Migrate to Compose #42

Is your feature request related to a problem? XML layouts can become complex and hard to manage, especially with nested views and intricate designs. Maintaining and updating these layouts can be cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, XML-based UIs often require additional boilerplate code in Activity and Fragment classes to manipulate UI components, leading to less readable and maintainable code.

Describe the solution you'd like: Propose to transition our UI implementation from XML-based layouts to Jetpack Compose. Jetpack Compose offers a modern, declarative approach to building UIs in Android

Describe alternatives you've considered: Continuing with XML-based layouts: While this maintains the status quo, it doesn't address the issues of complexity and maintainability. Using a hybrid approach: Gradually introducing Jetpack Compose for new features while maintaining existing XML layouts for older components. This can reduce the initial transition effort but might lead to inconsistencies in the codebase.

Hey @Manish-Bannur, thank you for raising this issue. I'm considering to support Jetpack Compose on the next release :)
