04/21/2023, 9:28 AMI do have another question regarding compose-multiplatform and previews. Right now I am using this template https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-template. The only way I found to display previews of composables is by using this plugin for desktop https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/16541-compose-multiplatform-ide-support. Is it possible to have also previews for android?

04/21/2023, 9:52 AMah, yes. You are right. I could make it work. Eg: I have created a composable in shared/commonMain
Copy code
@Composable
fun CommonMainView(){
Text(text = "Hello CommonMainView")
} Copy code
@Preview
@Composable
fun CommonMainViewPreview(){
CommonMainView()
}Jan

05/30/2023, 10:13 AME.g. I have a composable defined in commonMain and I would like to have the Preview-Composable also defined in commonMain. I only could build previews by using desktop and/or android src-set.
