This page mentions decodeToImageVector being added in 1.7.3, but I can't seem to find it (im using 1.8.2, and i do see ``decodeToImageBitmap``), do i need to add a specific library for it to become available? edit: the page: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform/whats-new-compose-170.html#functions-for-converting-byte-arrays-into-imagebitmap-or-imagevector

What exactly do you want to do? Could you share an example?

[Alexander Maryanovsky]

It’s in the new resources library, so you need to add

implementation(compose.components.resources)

to use it.

[bj0]

Oh I thought it would be in the same place as decodeToImageBitmap which I was using because I hadn't switched to the new resources library yet...

[bj0]

well I found it, and it seems to be loading the resource, but it doesn't seem to be able to render the vector drawable at all. there are no errors but it doesn't display anything (blank space)

Check that you did everything right

[bj0]

i followed those directions

[bj0]

should the compose preview work? it's also blank

[bj0]

i tried with a png, and it works fine, but the xml is blank, even if i use the library's painterResource(Res.drawable....)

[Konstantin Tskhovrebov]

I'm sure your XML is invalid. Check the doc

[bj0]

i had downloaded a file from that link, changed the color to #000000 and deleted the android:tint line, exactly as that doc said

[bj0]

it looks like the downloaded icon from that fonts.google.com/icons link has android:color= instead of android:fillColor=

[bj0]

well now the ones im downloading have the correct fillColor, so maybe I deleted and re-added the attribute wrong, either way it's working now
