And why can't you overload a method and add @Composable to it?

And why can't you overload a method and add @Composable to it?

[Adam Powell]

Do you mean override instead of overload?Adding @Composable adds hidden parameters to the method signature that the caller of an abstract method doesn't provide. It's these hidden parameters that provide the state about the composable function's current place in the composition

[Adam Powell]

it's the same reason why you can't add suspend to a method override when the base class/interface doesn't have it on the method
