# compose-desktop

Is there a way to know which compose desktop code will not work in android?
Like i used “loadImageBitmap” from this sample:
https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/tree/d44114d8b92669d1a15c1e979b91d221fa5253f3/tutorials/Image_And_Icons_Manipulations

It works on Desktop but gives “Unresolved reference: loadXmlImageVector” while building for Android.

Getting errors at compile time is what you’d expect right?

[Prateek Kumar]

But this code should work in Android as well , Right?
Because i did use some Desktop specific things like painterResource(res: String)

But they work without fail.

Or am i missing something

The problem is that in android they are using a different approach for managing resources. So you need to use a different imagePainter instead.

Not sure what you goal is. Because in Android the resources are often also scaled depending on device pixel density.
