Layout Inspector bug I have an App that starts out using UIView XML layouts and later navigates to Compose defined screens Layout inspector works on startup but as soon as we navigate to the Compose screen it shows the screen but the Component Tree is blank and no elements are clickable i e the inspector breaks Using `1 0 1` and `ui tooling` etc same on Device Emulator shrug Not even sure if the UIView Compose mix is significant inspector just plain doesn t work on Compose <https developer android com jetpack compose tooling layout inspector|Documentation> says it should

darkmoon_uk · Answer

A pure Compose view using `setContent` extension from within `Activity onCreate` results in an inspectable layout white check mark

darkmoon_uk · Answer

For any mixed hierarchy with ComposeView s nested in a traditional View hierarchy the ComposeView is opaque and its content can t be inspected no good

This is even true where the root View is a `ComposeView` interesting because you d think it might be similar internally to the `setContent ` case

The limitation seems to be undocumented are there plans to make Layout Inspector see across View Compose boundaries Should this work already < Chris Sinco G >

Really happy to say Layout Inspector is now working for me in mixed Compose View scenarios too Seems it was either the upgrade to Compose `1 0 2` or latest Arctic Fox patch IDK which but it seems to be fixed muscle compose
