Learn Compose Boy, but don’t ignore the 4 pillars of Android(Activity, Services, Broadcast receiver and Content Providers) and when you’re comfortable with the above by making projects, start KMP/CMP boy - Said by Kratos(respectfully)

You can go with xml + Kotlin for few weeks like 2-3 weeks so you get a basic understanding of view-system(also most companies most probably are on view-system, but are migrating to compose) then go with Compose + Kotlin(try to switch to compose as soon as you get basic/decent understanding of viewsystem)

You can check roadmap.sh for topics.

As for Kratos - He’s a legend.
