@xxfast This is a weak area at the moment, the limitations had me frustrated for some time. Here's what you need to do: • First, make sure you are only defining

@Preview

s from your top-level Application modules, for either Android or Desktop. You can try to do it from library projects or submodules, and some stuff might work if you import extra dependencies; but it's unsupported and gets ugly (ref: this thread). • Secondly; import the

compose.preview

and

compose.uitooling

dependencies for Android and Desktop as you would expect to; but for the Android top-level project you must apply a Gradle Dependency Substitution to 'deeply' replace all the JetBrains preview dependencies with the Google ones, for it to work with Android Studio properly. By 'deeply', I mean the replacement will affect all transitive dependencies as well. Just directly depending on the Google one won't work; you'll get duplicate class errors. I will fetch you a code snippet for the dependency substitution...

Hi, I have a Text that is very long and I want to add a scrollbar but when I do this

val stateVertical = rememberScrollState(0)
Box(
    modifier = Modifier.verticalScroll(stateVertical)
) {
    Text(myVeryLongText)

    VerticalScrollbar(
			modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.CenterEnd).fillMaxHeight(),
			adapter = rememberScrollbarAdapter(stateVertical)
	)
}

I get this error :

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can't represent a size of 1073741952 in Constraints
	at androidx.compose.ui.unit.Constraints$Companion.bitsNeedForSize(Constraints.kt:408)

Is there a common function to load local resources or I have to create an expect actual?

Are there any plans to publish compose-mpp on maven central?

Build

1.0.0-alpha4-build344

is out with new kotlin-based bindings to Skia, including Perlin noise and turbulence shaders 🙂

Is Accompanist pager available for compose desktop? I've been trying to import it but I keep getting dependency unresolved errors even though I have all the repositories set up properly.

Is there a way to get which mouse button was clicked with

Modifier.pointerInput

? I have a canvas and I need to know where the click happened and which button was used.

Im getting a new error that crashes my compose window and makes it stop rendering on build 344. It worked fine on previous builds. I added a file with the stacktrace in the thread

I tried this but the textfield show the text anyway

I've noticed that the new Window API in Compose for Desktop appears to break animations in my App 😱, or at least make them very flaky. I have an

AnimatedContent

driven slide transition between master/detail views. When starting the app with the old

Window { <content> }

function, it is reliable and silky smooth 👌. Now when starting with

application { Window { <content> } }

the animation works maybe 1 in every 10 triggers. The content is all the same... Is this a known issue; any likely causes? Using

1.0.0-alpha4-build344

Why the console displays this: Failed to create DirectX12 device.

Hi, how can I have a Box fixed to the bottom while having a LazyColumn above while having both in a Column ?

Hi again, I have another question, why does the Icons object don't contains all the icons of the Material Icons ? (this : https://fonts.google.com/icons)

Hi! Is there a way to find out what position e.g. a Box has in regards to it’s parent?

Does anyone else have difficulty to see crash logs when developing for and on mac? Whenever there is a runtime exception the app just crashes and disappears without anything in the logs. I’ve tried to set default uncaught exception handlers but those don’t seem to trigger

I’d like to introduce you to cokoin - a Dependency Injection library for Compose Multiplatform (simple Koin Wrapper). Please check it out and let me know your feedback ☺️ https://github.com/burnoo/cokoin

Hi everyone, I tried to use the id("kotlin-parcelize") but doesnt work. The log says Plugin [id: 'kotlin-parcelize'] was not found in any of the following sources: Any idea how to solve it?

Getting

UnsupportedOperationException

when trying to set a

Menu

Item

to

enabled=false

while using an icon. Happens on both

1.0.0-alpha3

and

1.0.0-alpha4-build348

. More info in thread.

Starting to play with custom Skia shaders

And now with dynamic real-time updates to the shader

Hi, is it possible (i.e. has someone tried) to compile a compose desktop application with GraalVM to native executable?

Hi! When I get the width of e.g. a Box , I get for example 1600, I guess this is in Pixel and not in DP?

Isn't the offset in DP tho? Or am I remembering it wrong?

I'm trying to build an MPP library which provides Composable functions that differentiate implementation using expect/actual on Desktop and Android, but I'm suffered from

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method: (mymethod)

at run time. Is it that compose compiler plugin does not resolve expect/actual stuff?

I would like to build an interface like in the screenshot where you have a palette of components (buttons, sliders, etc...) that you can drag and drop on a canvas. Once there you can move them around (again drag and drop involved). Is this kind of interface possible with compose desktop? Would there be some example of such a UI somewhere? Couldn't really find any information on drag and drop in the first place for example. Thanks.

I have a dependency that requires a specific Kotlin version while compose requires a different one. Is there a way to solve this or did I just loose the dependency lottery? 🤔

Hi! I want to implement a kind of image gallery like shown in the picture here: There should be a row ( Gallery Row ) which is a child of the “Row Background” and the Gallery Row should be wider than it’s parent. The idea is by changing the xOffset of the GalleryRow different parts of it become visible/hidden. The GalleryRow should contain Box(es) which show some images. How can I make the GalleryRow bigger than it’s parent ( Row Background ) so it’ outer left and outer right part is not visible?

Am I able to run Compose

windows

distributable from console to watch the logs?
