Am I doing anything wrong here? Can't get

viewModel()

to compile. I've added the lifecycle compose vm dependency

Sounds like you have the wrong import

Looks like it’s not using the import and trying to call the parameter itself - try a different name for it perhaps

When in doubt, control+click on it and see what it is trying to use. If that doesn't jump you to the code you expect, then you'll be able to figure out what is conflicting

My imports

import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Arrangement
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Column
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxSize
import androidx.compose.material.Text
import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable
import androidx.compose.ui.Alignment
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.platform.LocalContext
import androidx.lifecycle.ViewModel
import androidx.navigation.NavController

I don't see any

androidx.lifecycle.viewmodel.compose.viewModel

import

Jeez.

Now I'm curious to know what any of those quick fixes actually do

I am a bug filing machine!

Have you fixed this? I think you can't set the param name with

viewModel

Using

viewModel()

for a parameter is perfectly fine (although relying on actual state, etc. from your ViewModel will make it more testable if you don't want to mock your ViewModel / have your own set of fakes). All Colton was missing was the import

Correct. I was just missing an import. Afterwards, I went onto hilt and AAC compose navigation and I had to use hiltViewModel() or else I got a crash at runtime.

I mean the function parameter's name. If I use

viewModel

, the auto-import doesn't work. But if I use something else for the name (e.g.

homeViewModel

), the auto-import works.

I just had to import manually. It's still on my list to create a repro project for this and file a bug. If you have a simple repro for this, please file to help the next person out!

Ah, I think what Kefas means is that Studio thinks that you're trying to use the variable called

viewModel

and call its

invoke()

method, which is shorthanded to

()

, which is why it was recommending creating that method. Calling the variable anything else removes the ambiguity and lets Studio recognize it as an unknown symbol which it can then offer to solve via an import

ah. gotcha. thanks for clarifying
