Tip: Use View.isInEditMode() in your custom views to skip code or show sample data when shown in the IDE.  If this is an unexpected error you can also try to build the project, then manually refresh the layout.

Get this error even when try to preview simple text

Changed module type to com.android.application and it starts working

Why? I can want to preview my components in library. Innit?

[Colton Idle]

There's a bug open for preview in library modules I believe. Overall Preview basically doesn't work anywhere except for android-app modules. library modules don't work. And it doesn't even compile in compose for desktop.

Maybe this issue? https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/160491871
