Is there something special to get an AnimatedVectorDrawable work with Compose?

I have the drawables stored as an Icon and load it this way:

```val drawable = context.packageManager.getDrawable(icon.resPackage, icon.resId, null)```
I then use it using Accompanist:
```remember(icon.resId) { DrawablePainter(drawable.mutate()) }```
It doesn't start by default, and even when I call `drawable.start()` it won't run, and `drawable.isRunning`  returns false.

Did you ever figure this out? I had the same issue a few weeks ago and ended up going over to Lottie for animations.

I did manage to get it working with a hack: I had set the drawable to an ImageView that wasn't visible. My suspicion is that the ImageView does something in `setDrawable` that triggers it to start.
I wouldn't call it a solution as it's not anything I would put in production, but it points to where the issue might be. I was also able to load the vector as an `AnimatedImageVector`  but there's no playback controls from what I can see :confused:

i.e. I tried loading it two ways: Using `DrawablePainter` and using `rememberAnimatedVectorPainter` , neither worked.

<@U015ZST0NSE> I was able to get it working using an AVI and this code:
```val vector = AnimatedImageVector.animatedVectorResource(resId)  
var atEnd by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }  
LaunchedEffect(vector) {    atEnd = true  }  Icon(    painter = rememberAnimatedVectorPainter(animatedImageVector = vector, atEnd = atEnd),    contentDescription = null)```
Since my resource was in another package I also had to override LocalContext with a ContextWrapper and using `Resources` from that other package.
