I need to generate some bitmaps in my app, and currently I use plain Bitmap and Canvas for this task.
Would be cool if I could use Compose to layout things, and just render it on the Bitmap instead of the screen. Is there any way to do this?

Do a search in this channel, I am fairly certain I’ve seen people discuss things like taking a composable and turning it into an image before. And if you find smth, maybe link it back here so that others can see it too.

We landed a change to support retargeting of DrawScope canvases that will be available in the next release (after 1.5)

Ohh interesting, do you have a link to the merge or something like that? I haven't seen anything in the docs myself yet.

Was merged here: https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/2605647

This link looks like it's behind some sort of google corp login form

I updated the link hopefully this is visible?

[Stylianos Gakis]

Yes, that's perfect! Thanks a lot, and looking forward to trying this out!

Thanks, looks promising!
I couldn't find other solutions apart from https://github.com/PatilShreyas/Capturable, which is cool, but kinda hacky, heavy, and does not cover all cases.
So I guess for now I'm looking forward to 1.5!

Is there any official doc regarding the DrawScope retargeting apart from this? https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/2605647/4/compose/ui[…]droidx/compose/ui/graphics/samples/DrawScopeSample.kt
