    onAddToCart: (Product) -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier
) {
    var isLiked by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
    val context = LocalContext.current
    
    Card(
        modifier = modifier
            .fillMaxWidth()
            .padding(8.dp),
        elevation = CardDefaults.cardElevation(defaultElevation = 4.dp),
        colors = CardDefaults.cardColors(
            containerColor = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.surface
        )
    ) {
        Column(
            modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)
        ) {
            // Product image with async loading
            AsyncImage(

                ) {
                    Text(
                        text = "Error: ${uiState.message}",
                        style = MaterialTheme.typography.bodyLarge
                    )
                    Spacer(modifier = Modifier.height(16.dp))
                    Button(onClick = viewModel::loadProducts) {

                }
            }
        }
    }
}
```

## Material Design 3 Implementation

### Dynamic Color Theming
```kotlin
// Generated Material 3 theme implementation
@Composable
fun ProductAppTheme(
    darkTheme: Boolean = isSystemInDarkTheme(),
    dynamicColor: Boolean = true,
    content: @Composable () -> Unit
) {
    val colorScheme = when {
        dynamicColor && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S -> {
            val context = LocalContext.current
            if (darkTheme) dynamicDarkColorScheme(context) else dynamicLightColorScheme(context)
        }
        darkTheme -> DarkColorScheme
        else -> LightColorScheme
    }
    
    MaterialTheme(
        colorScheme = colorScheme,
        typography = Typography,
        content = content
    )
}

private val DarkColorScheme = darkColorScheme(
    primary = Purple80,
    secondary = PurpleGrey80,
    tertiary = Pink80
)

private val LightColorScheme = lightColorScheme(
    primary = Purple40,
    secondary = PurpleGrey40,
    tertiary = Pink40
)
```

### Adaptive Layouts
```kotlin
// Generated responsive layout for different screen sizes
@Composable
fun AdaptiveProductGrid(
    products: List<Product>,
    onProductClick: (Product) -> Unit
) {
    val configuration = LocalConfiguration.current
    val screenWidth = configuration.screenWidthDp.dp
    
    val columns = when {
        screenWidth < 600.dp -> 1 // Phone
        screenWidth < 840.dp -> 2 // Small tablet
        else -> 3 // Large tablet/foldable
    }
    
    LazyVerticalGrid(
        columns = GridCells.Fixed(columns),
        contentPadding = PaddingValues(16.dp),
        horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(8.dp),
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(8.dp)
    ) {
        items(products) { product ->
            ProductCard(
                product = product,
                onAddToCart = { /* Handle add to cart */ },
                modifier = Modifier.clickable { onProductClick(product) }
            )
        }
    }
}
```

## Advanced Android Features Integration

### Room Database Integration
```kotlin
// Generated Room database entities and DAOs
@Entity(tableName = "products")
data class ProductEntity(
    @PrimaryKey val id: String,
    val name: String,
    val description: String,
    val price: Double,
    val imageUrl: String,
    val isFavorite: Boolean = false
)

@Dao
interface ProductDao {
    @Query("SELECT * FROM products")
    fun getAllProducts(): Flow<List<ProductEntity>>
    
    @Query("SELECT * FROM products WHERE isFavorite = 1")
    fun getFavoriteProducts(): Flow<List<ProductEntity>>
    
    @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
    suspend fun insertProduct(product: ProductEntity)
    
    @Update
    suspend fun updateProduct(product: ProductEntity)
    
    @Query("UPDATE products SET isFavorite = :isFavorite WHERE id = :productId")
    suspend fun updateFavoriteStatus(productId: String, isFavorite: Boolean)
}

@Database(
    entities = [ProductEntity::class],
    version = 1,
    exportSchema = false
)
@TypeConverters(Converters::class)
abstract class AppDatabase : RoomDatabase() {
    abstract fun productDao(): ProductDao
}
```

### Navigation Compose Implementation
```kotlin
// Generated Navigation Compose setup
@Composable
fun ProductApp() {
    val navController = rememberNavController()
    
    NavHost(
        navController = navController,
        startDestination = "product_list"
    ) {
        composable("product_list") {
            ProductListScreen(
                onProductClick = { product ->
                    navController.navigate("product_detail/${product.id}")
                }
            )
        }
        
        composable(
            "product_detail/{productId}",
            arguments = listOf(navArgument("productId") { type = NavType.StringType })
        ) { backStackEntry ->
            val productId = backStackEntry.arguments?.getString("productId") ?: ""
            ProductDetailScreen(
                productId = productId,
                onNavigateBack = { navController.popBackStack() }
            )
        }
        
        composable("cart") {
            CartScreen(
                onNavigateBack = { navController.popBackStack() }
            )
        }
    }
}
```

## Performance Optimization for Android

### Compose Performance Best Practices
```kotlin
// Generated performance-optimized Composables
@Composable
fun OptimizedProductList(
    products: List<Product>,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier
) {
    // Use LazyColumn for efficient scrolling
    LazyColumn(
        modifier = modifier,
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(8.dp)
    ) {
        items(
            items = products,
            key = { product -> product.id } // Stable keys for efficient recomposition
        ) { product ->
            ProductCard(
                product = product,
                onAddToCart = { /* Handle add to cart */ }
            )
        }
    }
}

// Stable data classes to prevent unnecessary recompositions
@Stable
data class Product(
    val id: String,
    val name: String,
    val description: String,
    val price: Double,
    val imageUrl: String,
    val isFavorite: Boolean = false
)

// Remember expensive computations
@Composable
fun ProductStats(products: List<Product>) {
    val totalPrice by remember(products) {
        derivedStateOf {
            products.sumOf { it.price }
        }
    }
    
    val favoriteCount by remember(products) {
        derivedStateOf {
            products.count { it.isFavorite }
        }
    }
    
    Row {
        Text("Total: $${totalPrice}")
        Spacer(modifier = Modifier.width(16.dp))
        Text("Favorites: $favoriteCount")
    }
}
```

## Testing and Quality Assurance

### Compose UI Testing
