Hello, how to use material symbols with compose

[Rick Regan]

Assuming you mean icons...

With Compose Material I think you get a bunch for “free” but you can get the whole set with androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended, for example, androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended:1.3.0-alpha02. I then use it like this:

IconButton(onClick = navigateBack ) {
  Icon(Icons.Filled.ArrowBack, contentDescription = "Back")
}

There's now material Symbol it's different from icons and for the moment there's no direct compose integration.

Thanks. I see them now, they’re new “parameterized” icons...

My guess is there will be a new material component for symbols which will be different from icons
