I'm curious if there's any plans for an equivalent of the findFragment(view: View) method for Compose - https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/fragment/app/FragmentManager#findFragment(android.view.View). Basically need a way to find the fragment that's hosting the composable (Don't judge me for saying that 😄 Need it for practical reasons). If there's no plans for first class support, how can I go about creating similar functionality. The view system essentially makes use of the get/setTag method to associate a view to a fragment using this id R.id.fragment_container_view_tag.

What do you need the fragment for that wouldn't be better suited as either one of the existing CompositionLocals (i.e., LocalLifecycleOwner) or your own LocalFragment?

AndroidViewBinding might be doing something similar to the hacking that you're proposing: https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/[…]va/androidx/compose/ui/viewinterop/AndroidViewBinding.kt;l=66

Using LocalView.current with findFragment()

[Vinay Gaba]

Needed the fragment due to the existing assumptions that some of our tooling was making. That can certainly be changed though.

and thanks for the link! This seems promising!
