04/23/2024, 4:45 PMI know it’s fairly common to define colors in compose code, but having resources is useful for sharing it with android themes (navigation bar and status bar colors)

04/23/2024, 4:46 PMI believe it should be an ide feature to propose to user convert svgs to xml format. As it's done in Android studio IIRC.
First of all, not every svg can be converted to xml icon. And users may want to have svgs in the project anyway to display them with external libraries

04/23/2024, 4:47 PMYou cannot use the same resources for the compose multiplatform and for android API. They have different types

04/23/2024, 4:48 PMah so they aren’t translated to android resources, as in the don’t translated to references in R.java?

11/01/2024, 5:27 PMHi! Are there any updates on themed colors for drawable multiplatform resources in Compose?

11/01/2024, 5:30 PMI wrote a small plugin to do it, but it's embedded into our monorepo. It hooks into the compose resources plugin

11/01/2024, 5:31 PMYea

11/01/2024, 5:31 PMHowever I wanted to improve it more for custom themes

11/01/2024, 5:32 PMI doubt it'll ever see the light of day though, company isn't keen on open source 🙈

11/01/2024, 5:33 PMLet's just say I got a little carried away experimenting with convention plugins and wanted to test the waters with XML parsing and KotlinPoet 😂

11/01/2024, 5:35 PMLet's at least create an issue! 😉

11/01/2024, 5:37 PMgood idea 😅

11/01/2024, 5:44 PMusing SvgToVector, soI dump them here
aidanvii
11/01/2024, 5:44 PMthen it would generate them here, prior to compose resources running
aidanvii
11/01/2024, 5:45 PMthis was a bigger time saver than the colors, the colors was just a nice to have more than anything

11/01/2024, 5:47 PMI used the MOKO plugin as reference, but it diverged a lot as MOKO is way more complex and feature complete (exports the resource for use on the native side as well)
