# compose-desktop

[v79]

Completely new to Compose desktop (multiplatform with Android app too). I've started with this template: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-template . I think I want a separate UI for Android and Desktop, so I tried to change main.desktop.kt from fun MainView() = App() to something like:

fun MainView() = application {
    Window(
        onCloseRequest = ::exitApplication,
        title = "Corbel",
        state = rememberWindowState(width = 640.dp, height = 480.dp)
    ) {
        DesktopApp()
    }
}

No window appears when I run it though. Am I wrong to try to use the application { Window(...)...} code approach that is in the compose multiplatform desktop template in a mixed Android/Desktop project? Without `application { Window... }`I don't even know how to give the window a title!

You have a main() function? The code seems ok. In my App I have this:

fun main() = application { ... }

If you removed fun main() accidentally might be the problem.

There is no main() in the example code here https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-template/blob/main/shared/src/desktopMain/kotlin/main.desktop.kt

Ah.

I've clearly not understood this multiplatform stuff yet.

You got it to work?

I was editing the wrong file, I think I was nesting multiple calls to application {...} but I haven't tested it yet. I stopped for dinner.
