05/23/2023, 5:30 PMHow do you share a svg resource between compose desktop and android? Desktop accepts SVG just fine, but android doesnt seem to
Lucas
05/23/2023, 5:31 PMCan you even do it? Or do you have to work with expected/actual?

05/23/2023, 5:50 PMDepends if you mean .svg file its complex as Android using VectorDrawable wrapper in XML.
I think there is libraries solving this, like Coil. Not sure if Coil works with desktop though. Probably more image libraries solving similar.

05/23/2023, 5:51 PMHeard that Kamel should be good:
https://github.com/Kamel-Media/Kamel
Never tried it myself yet but probably will soon.

05/23/2023, 5:55 PMAlso Coil has pending work to be multiplatform soon but not yet.
Using these libraries like Coil for videos, animated gifs, svg etc and in general works really good imo.
Best they both supporting http based resources but also local ones.

Used Coil since beginning like 0.1 Alpha versions. I was very early adopter. One of my personal favourite libraries. Colin White founder is amazing developer and such high quality.

05/23/2023, 6:10 PMI personally would use the SVG2Compose AS plugin to create a Compose icon from the svg. Compose icons are supported on all targets Compose supports.

05/23/2023, 6:11 PMOh there exists plugin doing that. Compose icon is like Canvas paths or? Get me curious here :)

05/23/2023, 6:38 PMLooks like the plugin is named 'SVG to Compose'. There's a kotlin script called SVG2Compose that I think this uses under the hood.
