Hi All, I'm trying to create a KMM project using the wizard. ( I'm on arch linux). I seem to be able to create an android app that uses the emulator, but when I try to create a desktop app as well it doesn't seem to work. Anyone come across this?

[Jeff Lockhart]

"doesn't seem to work" is a bit vague. If you shared the error you're experiencing and what you've tried, it'd be easier for someone to help.

Fair comment!

Okay - steps basically create an app in the wizard selecting only desktop. ( Same problem occurs if other targets are specified, but this is to get the proverbial 'minimal complete example)..

When the project is imported into Android studio, I try to run composeapp/src/desktopMain/kotlin/main.kt and get...

Cannot locate tasks that match ':composeApp:compileJava' as task 'compileJava' not found in project ':composeApp'.

If you run kdoctor in your environment? - What kdoctor says?

[Pablichjenkov]

You have the KMP or compose desktop plugin installed in Android Studio? - Not sure if kdoctor checks that?

[Andy Smith]

Is kdoctor available on linux? The video I watched said kdoctor only avail on macos?

[Jeff Lockhart]

Does the app run with ./gradlew :composeApp:run?

Easy on the "send to channel" option please 🙂 People also read the threads, don't worry.

@Jacob Ras A sorry - I'm a newb

[Andy Smith]

@Jeff Lockhart Yes! That works!

[Jeff Lockhart]

kdoctor is macOS only. But all you should need to compile and run a Compose Desktop app is a JDK installed.

[Andy Smith]

So I guess I could just create a run configureation which runs that gradle task and I'm all good.

[Andy Smith]

@Jeff Lockhart Thanks!

[Pablichjenkov]

Ah good to know. I didn't know kdoctor wasn't available on Linux or Windows

[Andy Smith]

@Jacob Ras Thanks for your diplomatic patience with a newb 🙂
