So i m having an interesting issue that i m not sure is tech kotlinlang #compose

So, i’m having an interesting issue that i’m not sure is technically a compose bug or an android studio bug. If i create a view that extends AbstractComposeView, and then reference that in an xml file, i can’t get a preview, and see this error. Looking for input on wherew to submit this bug. (for the record, i’m using ConstraintLayout 2.0.4)

java.lang.IllegalStateException: ViewTreeLifecycleOwner not found from androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout{18da14ef V.E...... ......I. 0,0-0,0}   at androidx.compose.ui.platform.WindowRecomposer_androidKt.createLifecycleAwareViewTreeRecomposer(WindowRecomposer.android.kt:244)   at androidx.compose.ui.platform.WindowRecomposer_androidKt.access$createLifecycleAwareViewTreeRecomposer(WindowRecomposer.android.kt:1)   at androidx.compose.ui.platform.WindowRecomposerFactory$Companion$LifecycleAware$1.createRecomposer(WindowRecomposer.android.kt:99)   at androidx.compose.ui.platform.WindowRecomposerPolicy.createAndInstallWindowRecomposer$ui_release(WindowRecomposer.android.kt:155)   at androidx.compose.ui.platform.WindowRecomposer_androidKt.getWindowRecomposer(WindowRecomposer.android.kt:230)   at androidx.compose.ui.platform.AbstractComposeView.resolveParentCompositionContext(ComposeView.android.kt:220)   at androidx.compose.ui.platform.AbstractComposeView.ensureCompositionCreated(ComposeView.android.kt:227)

I’ve traced it down to this function in ViewTreeLifecycleOwner:

@Nullable
    public static LifecycleOwner get(@NonNull View view) {
        LifecycleOwner found = (LifecycleOwner) view.getTag(R.id.view_tree_lifecycle_owner);
        if (found != null) return found;
        ViewParent parent = view.getParent();
        while (found == null && parent instanceof View) {
            final View parentView = (View) parent;
            found = (LifecycleOwner) parentView.getTag(R.id.view_tree_lifecycle_owner);
            parent = parentView.getParent();
        }
        return found;
    }
