Hi all, i have a composable

composable("profile/{userId}"){}

how to get the

startDestination

to be something like

NavHost(startDestination = "profile/42") {}

instead of having to navigate like

navController.navigate("profile/42")

Next to the @Preview annotation there used to be a gear icon in the gutter so that you could fiddle with different preview args. Did that go away intentionally?

Keyboard type changes very quickly during focus request looks fixed. But i guess its not included in the recent compose-ui release(1.2.0-alpha02). How can i test the fix? Do we have a snapshot build?

Why my keyboard seems janky while moving focus from one textfiled to another, any idea?

How do I disable the bubble? 🤔 Usecase: I’ve a single digit OTP input field and it doesn’t need that

Hi, I'm using

rememberSaveable {}

on a custom class that implements

Parcelable

. This saves and restores the object on screen rotation perfectly. All the warning messages, however, tell me that this should not work. Can you help me understand the warning messages? And help me understand if I'm doing something wrong? Code and warnings in 🧵

There is any documentation that contains all Local Composition provided by Compose Activity ? like LocalContext, LocalLifecycleOwner, etc.

Trying to add compose to a project. I'm 'somehow adding compose 1.0.5 even though I'm trying to use 1.2.0-alpha02 When I do ./gradlew app:dependencies I see

kotlin-extension - Configuration for Compose related kotlin compiler extension
\--- androidx.compose.compiler:compiler:1.0.5

Any idea what that is?

Is Shared element transition included in the 1.2.0-alpha? Is there an issue tracking this feature?

Selection toolbar disappears in BasicTextField when

Select all

is selected, what to do?

Is it possible to wait for effects down a composable hierarchy to run before rendering the UI? I.e. ComposableA enters the composition, runs some effects, calls a child composable which also runs effects. I would like to prevent rendering any UI down this hierarchy until both effects have run, is this possible? In React I think this would be achievable with useLayoutEffect

Why is my

Switch

outside of the

Row

even though the code is inside the block?

How to fix the position of composables even if a composable changes size? 🤔 Should I customize a layout?

Is there a better way of previewing all my composables in light and dark mode, without having to duplicate every @Preview function?

I want my ViewModel be the source of truth for whatever the user entered in a text field. Would this be the correct way or is there a better approach. See thread

Is there a way to check which

Composable

is needlessly being recomposed? I want to see if a

Text

is recomposed for example.

How can I set a preview placeholder for a Coil image? It lacks an alternative to

tools:src

. The Accompanist version had a

previewPlaceholder

. But after Compose support moved to the Coil library proper, it was removed. Are there any solutions?

Hi, i was looking at JetNews source code, Can someone please help me understand the need of key here, is there any downside if don't use it? https://github.com/android/compose-samples/blob/84dc6417dfbd6408f498d71afcc1272087[…]ws/app/src/main/java/com/example/jetnews/ui/home/HomeScreens.kt

Hello! I need to have line charts in my app that is almost entirely built with Compose. I was looking at MPAndroidChart at first, but I need a feature that I could not find was available. All values have defined ranges with a color so the color of the line needs to change in a smooth way as the line moves through those ranges. Any suggestions about a good charting component that this is easy to do?

Hi, Is there any way to enable this cursor handle in OutlinedTextField to allow convenient dragging of cursor across characters? Two cursor handle seem to appear on long press but I want to single handle for short tap and drag.

Hello! Is there a way to provide 3d party context to Composable Preview? Details in the thread.

State and Jetpack Compose says "While remember helps you retain state across recompositions, the state is not retained across configuration changes. For this, you must use rememberSaveable." On this channel, we've said that setting `android:configChanges`(as listed here) to handle the configuration changes would allow us to use plain old

remember

. Is it better to do the former or the latter?

<androidx.compose.ui.platform.ComposeView
            android:id="@+id/myComposeView"
            android:layout_width="10dp"
            android:layout_height="10dp"
---->       tools:composableName=""        <------
            />

What is

composableName

used for?

why can i filter text in a TextField with keyboardType = Number, but not with keyboardType = Text. I doesn’t make sense

Hi all, what is the best way to animate

of keyboard ?

val keyboardController = LocalSoftwareKeyboardController.current
keyboardController?.hide() // How to animate the visibility ?

Reading this post on Reddit, and related stuff, about destructuring declarations for Compose state: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/rqdv5g/there_are_three_ways_to_declare_a_mutablestate/. References: • Twitter thread where @Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] says "it's a footgun": https://twitter.com/zachklipp/status/1475913455857111040?s=20 • Same Twitter thread where @Leland Richardson [G] says "I think there might be a just-as-compelling argument that the other forms are actually more foot-gun-like than this?": https://twitter.com/Louis_CAD/status/1476180047476232192 • https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/212452424 Discuss 🙂 To start, I personally like assigning the value to a

val

rather than using a

var

and delegates. But I'm trying to understand the Redditor's examples. Why doesn't the Draggable example work (assuming it doesn't, I haven't tried it)? Their explanation:

When Jetpack invokes the detectDragGestures callback, it's the same lambda instance. That means we never get the new values of offsetX and offsetY.

But shouldn't

DraggableZone

and

Draggable

recompose when the offset changes, thus getting new values of

offsetX

and

offsetY

in

detectDragGestures

?

Is there a way to listen to when the soft keyboard is hidden? I'm trying to use a back handler but when a user has a text field selected it closes the keyboard, then pressing back again doesn't seem to get triggered with the handler

I'm seeing a timing issue with staticCompositionLocal, if I update the value of my local 2 times quickly, not all places that refer to the local always get updated. I have been trying to produce a demo project but I haven't been able to hit the problem in isolation yet, the place I've seen that doesn't update has a lazy list with a bunch of images loading in it so its the slowest thing to recompose. What I found interesting is if I use a non-static compositionLocal then it works fine. The local i'm defining is used to define window size class/foldable information which gets updated 2 times after rotation / activity recreate due to how the androidx.window async API works on Samsung devices. (I mentioned this here a couple weeks ago thinking that just referring to state wasn't refreshing, but it seems to be actually the static composition local not the state). There was other strange behavior I saw falling out of this, if I have a state value that is updated after a flow collect inside LaunchedEffect, when the bug happens one of the places on screen does not have the launchedeffect value. All fallout of not everything being updated..

I noticed that the latest beta of compose-jb seems to support ios UIKit. Can we expect to see this in the 1.1.0 release, or will it be an experimental/beta-only feature like Android’s Compose was?
