# compose

Hey folks, I’d like to follow up this post I found in search with a question: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1637659659341600

This is most related to the issue I’m having where I can’t see previews of compose objects in XML (see attached image). We’re integrated compose into our databinding layouts and we aren’t able to get any previews. Given how <androidx.compose.ui.platform.ComposeView works, and points to something like:

binding.payButtonLayout.composeButton.apply {
    setViewCompositionStrategy(ViewCompositionStrategy.DisposeOnDetachedFromWindow)
    setContent {
        MaterialTheme {
            Button(onClick = {}) {
                Text("My button")
            }
        }
    }
}

I’ve tried using the tools:composableName="androidx.compose.material.ButtonKt" , <androidx.compose.ui.tooling.ComposeViewAdapter and even making my own view by inheriting from AbstractComposeView but still no preview.

Would I be correct in saying that this just isn’t possible to do? Thanks in advance!

Can you show the code of your class that extends ComposeView ?
