Is Amper meant to replace Gradle completely in the long term?

Hi! I’m using coil to load images in compose and I need to send as a query-param with the width of the composable. Right now the only way I’ve found is using

onGloballyPositioned

on the

Image

modifier to get the size and then set a global variable of an Interceptor.. What I have is something like:

Image(
    painter = painter,
    modifier = modifier.onGloballyPositioned {
        coilInterceptor.config.params[PARAM_WIDTH] = it.size.width.toString() 
    },

coilInterceptor is a singleton Interceptor…. I’m trying to avoid this. I much rather prefer passing to the

ImageRequest

directly the url with the size concatenated

How can I run a task BEFORE Kotlin compiles the source classes? I'm generating classes based on

.yml

files for localization files, if there is a key

commands.hello: "Hello {user}!"

, a class + function is generated named

I18nKeysData.Commands.Hello(name: Any)

Currently what I'm doing is this

// HACKY WORKAROUND!!!
            // This makes the generateI18nKeys task to always be ran before the compileKotlin step
            // We need to do this (instead of using withType) because, for some reason, it doesn't work and the task isn't executed.
            //
            // We need to keep it within the "afterEvaluate" block because, if it isn't, the compile*InsertStuffHere* tasks won't exist!
            // <https://stackoverflow.com/a/58763804/7271796>
            project.afterEvaluate {
                project.tasks.filter { it.name.startsWith("compileKotlin") }.forEach {
                    it.dependsOn(task)
                }
            }

But I think it is very hacky and it broke in Kotlin 1.6.20-M1 because they added a new

compileCommonMainKotlinMetadata

task, so I wonder if there is a better solution for this

How do I change the name of a multiplatform app with an iOS target? Updating the Xcode->Target->General->“Display Name” as per normal does not help

I'm getting a

none of the following candidates is applicable because of receiver type mismatch

for

ComponentActivity.viewmodels

and

ComponentActivity.setContent

, even though I am invoking these inside an Activity that extends

AppCompatActivity

, and should have access to

ComponentActivity

. My code is able to run fine even though these errors pop up in the file. Any way to get rid of this incorrect error?

Is there any way to use ktor as backend and vue as frontend? I foiund the singlePageApplication but it didn't seem to take a route argument, and it also seemed to require compiled files rather than being able to reload quickly.

It seems like GraalVM works on compose desktop, but the gradle plugin doesn't work with the multiplatform plugin so all the configuration has to be done manually 🥲

I don't understand how you're supposed to see @Preview output in Fleet. I have the right dependency, the right annotation on a @Composable with no parameters. I found "Open Compose Preview Output" and "Reload Compose Preview" actions but it does nothing

Can somebody help me understand why I'm getting "kotlinx.coroutines.JobCancellationException: Parent job is Completed" when I try to start my web service in my view model? I'm trying to delay the connection until after I have an auth token so that the connect will be successful.

Is it possible to split

build.gradle.kts

file, so I could have the whole project configuration in one file and dependencies listed in the second?
