Skia is an implementation detail. It's the 2D rendering engine and not exposed directly.

is there a way to create an image vector?

I believe you can use

loadSvgPainter()

to load from a byte array (via an input stream), and

painterResource()

to load from a file

so i am trying painterResource and it just says

Copy code

val bitmap = painterResource("pause.svg")
                    Icon(bitmap, null)

image.png

pause.svg

If all you need is a pause icon you can use the extended set of material icons with the artifact

androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended

Are you writing an Android or a desktop app btw?

SVG is supported by desktop (afaik), not Android

both

im on compose multiplatform

and what the hell?

I can get like 50 svg viewers on android but they dont work with this ui framework??? the same SVG thats like everywhere?

im begenning to see why no one in an enterprise environment would give this framework the time of day

regardless, I JUST want a pause button, but for some dumb reason, this framework is making me spend hours of time JUST TO GET A PAUSE button. This is legitimately rediculous

ALRIGHT FINALLY GOT IT , ty for the help

Android uses something called Vector Drawables, also saved as XML files, that you can create from SVG in Android Studio

Those files are also supported by desktop

Damn, Romain should be awarded as the most tolerant human on earth. @John Dior Learn the basics and don't come here next time acting like an idiot. It's a public space and you should learn some basic courtesy. You made senseless remarks earlier on, he tolerated you but you have the audacity to follow it up with more piles of garbage.
