is there any immediate future plans to improve preview? Atm is the current bottleneck. too slow. Otherwise compose is dope

[Colton Idle]

I think there was a commit to AOSP that showed the intention to remove the use of gradle for previews. So I think they are definiteily going to ship something for that to try really soon

[myanmarking]

oh. thats really nice, thanks! Atm, as a beginner, i find it to hard to learn by trying, as the preview is hugelly slow

[Colton Idle]

yeahhh. make sure live literals is on (it should be on by default), but it makes things super fast when you're just tweaking small values.

that preview is Android one no? Hope efforts on creating a KMP one and/or hot reload

[myanmarking]

yes, AS preview

Also my preview fails to deploy direct to the device, is it just me or is some issue with canary?

@Tgo1014 what's the error you are getting and what Canary version?

@Chris Sinco [G] this is 1 of 4 erros but all are basically the same where it can’t find a dependency
