How can I set a preview placeholder for a Coil image? It lacks an alternative to

tools:src

. The Accompanist version had a

previewPlaceholder

. But after Compose support moved to the Coil library proper, it was removed. Are there any solutions?

According to the Coil documentation you need to set

placeholder

within request builder scope.

That's something different,

placeholder

sets the image visible in the app during loading, not a @Preview replacement image.

No, it is also working for Preview. Please, read the doc first https://coil-kt.github.io/coil/compose/#migrating-from-accompanist

I know the placeholder image is visible in Preview. But I don't see how that solves my problem. Like I said, I am looking for something like

tools:src

in ImageView or

previewPlaceholder

in the previous version of Coil. They don't affect the app, unlike what you are suggesting. I don't want my placeholder to be visible at runtime.

Oh, I see. AFAIK, it doesn't exist for Coil.

That could work, thanks.
