Hi Everyone. Does KMP currently support previewing in Android Studio? I created a function with @Preview annotation, but the preview does not appear on the right side of the IDE. Do I need additional configuration?

Hi! Has anyone made a blur semi-transparent background? I try to mimc MacOS tray apps and the standard dialogs from the tray. They have a transparent background with blur effect. 1. I’ve found this thread, which references a good article on how to do that with Skia. But it looks like too much of ceremony. 2. I have also found how to make it with

Modifier.blur()

, which is also not trivial. Maybe something has changed and now it can be done simpler?

Hello! Anyone can help me on setting a rule so that the parameters of with(param){} isn't move to a new line when running ktlintFormat?

//this:
with(param) {
} 

// instead of this:
with(
    param) {
}

I want to create convention plugins to simplify my build. However, I have projects that use either

kotlin("jvm")

,

kotlin("js")

or

kotlin("multiplatform")

. Is it possible to create a convention plugin that configures all of them? I don't want to create one plugin per Kotlin plugin…

I have a question regarding Previews in Jetpack Compose: if i use the locale parameter within the Preview annotation like this:

@Preview(locale = "en")

then i assume that some code (in this example

Locale.getDefault()

) would also return this locale. but it doesnt matter what i put in their, the Locale.getDefault() always returns the (i assume) system language full preview code for completeness:

@Preview(locale = "en")
@Composable
fun Test() {
    Text("${Locale.getDefault()}")
}

The reason behind this is that we use the previews for screenshot testing and we have a datetimeformatter which depends on the current locale.. (which is calling Locale.getDefault() in the background)

Hey people, have a question about sealed interfaces and stability/skippability 🧵

For someone want to implement custom title bar in compose desktop: 1. the JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime is required 2. Access

java.awt.Window$CustomWindowDecoration

by reflection, maybe you need

Unsafe

to access it in

JBR-17

There are some sample codes for it: 1. CustomWindowDecorationAccessing 2. UnsafeAccessing 3. JBWindow and MainToolBar in different platform 4. About JetBrainsRuntime 5. Screenshots

when using sealed classes for the viewstate in android, how do you handle updating part of the viewstate? For example:

sealed class ViewState {
    object Idle : ViewState()
    data class Content(
        val headerText: String,
        val bodyText: String
    ) : ViewState()
    data class Error(
        val message: String
    ) : ViewState
}

How do I update just the title for example? I see a lot of examples use sealed classes but they dont seem so great in practice...

Im trying to make a compose multiplatform PDF viewer. I've never made like a full library before, so.. I'm having issues with getting all the code together, and making it multiplatform. Cause on android the PdfRenderer takes a ParcelFileDescriptor class. On desktop I'm using icepdf (not sure if theres better). I need to make like a state class, then various ways for a developer to provide the PDF: url or a file. So how would i represent that internally in my PdfState class? On android I first need to download to a temporary file, but not on desktop. I would really like to make this happen but it's difficult and i need advice
