Hi guys 🙂
I’m using an AbstractComposeView to display a composable in an existing XML view but I’m not getting any preview for the XML layout... Anything I’m missing there? Thanks! 🙂

Try using ComposeView instead of AbstractComposeView

hmmmm, for reasons detailed here: https://proandroiddev.com/jetpack-compose-interop-part-2-using-compose-in-traditional-android-views-and-layouts-with-a3c50fc2eaa5
the AbstractComposeView approach works better for me and is easier to think about because it’s nicely split from the XML and the fragment
Seems weird to me that it does not work out of the box since it seems like a basic use case 😕
thanks anyway 🙂

No preview at all? Or just not of the compose part?

[Jérémy CROS]

not the compose part 🙂 (sorry, should have been clearer in my question)

Ok so it should work, i confirmed with someone on the tooling team. Please file a bug

Thanks for getting back to me 🙂 Will do 👍
