Hey everyone, I have question about resources. So I have been using this way to access my assets so far

Image(
  painter = painterResource("mylogo.png"),
  contentDescription = null
)

It has been working just fine, until I tried to import this library (peekaboo : https://github.com/onseok/peekaboo) . And above line start complaining, and from i see the signature of painterResources has changed to requires DrawableResources type instead of just String. From what i understand this seems like the new way of accessing assets, I tried to create composeResources folder and move my pngs there, but no Res type generated for me. 😞

And the other problem is, I am currently using another library that has the old way of accessing resources (painterResource(String)). Any suggestions how to workaround this issue?

Hi Khairil!
Are you using composeMultiplatform 1.6.0 or above?

[khairil.ushan]

I am using 1.6.4

[khairil.ushan]

Woops that is my Compose UI version..

[khairil.ushan]

the compose multiplatform is 1.5.12

[Vlad Mircan]

Well resources were completely revamped and you will need to upgrade to 1.6.0 or 1.6.1 to have the DrawableResource be generated

[khairil.ushan]

hm okay, then it will break the other library that I am using right? since currently that library still using the painterResource(string)..

[Vlad Mircan]

Oh, I get it. I'm not too sure.
I would upgrade and then try for the older library with drawable:mylogo.png

[khairil.ushan]

but yeah thanks for pointing out about the versioning ... will try to upgrade.

[khairil.ushan]

@Vlad Mircan sorry one more question. How do you trigger code generation after adding new image?

[Vlad Mircan]

You need to rebuild. And the resources will only be available inside the shared module

cool, thank you! have a great weekend! 🙂
