# compose

👋 I am migrating an existing app to jetpack compose. We use apart from the existing Material colors a lot of additional colors all of them defined in the theme xml. I was wondering if there is a way of using these colors directly from the xml file instead of duplicating these colors in a custom theme. I cannot find any example about this...hopefully this isn't a to dumb question here.

Not compose/android specific, but you could load & parse that xml from resources and get the colours in compose that way

colorResource(id = R.color.your_color)

There's colorResource(id: Int), at least. Is that what you're looking for?

Beat me to it, Attila! 😅

Indeed, but what then with things like custom textAppearences etc?

Indeed, then you just again have the basic Material typography. Custom added typography isn't available then.

[sindrenm]

Compose's Typography is part of androidx.compose.material. You'll need to roll your own/build on top of that if you have different styles.

Thanks wasn't sure if there was a workaround or not
