how does one integrate android view models with compose @preview() ?

You shouldn't use your viewmodel within your composable preview.

Take a look at this resource here <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/tooling/previews#preview-viewmodel|https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/tooling/previews#preview-viewmodel>

So it is better to pass data instead of the view model to a screen - that way you can feed sample data to the preview composite

Correct, also makes it easier to reuse that composable component in other areas.
