Using Android Studio, Artic Fox, Beta 3, I created...

# compose

[Scott Whitman]

Using Android Studio, Artic Fox, Beta 3, I created a new project using the "Empty Compose Activity" template. It crashes with "`E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main`", "`java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method drawRect-w2WG-Gw$default(Landroidx/compose/ui/graphics/drawscope/DrawScope...`". When I comment out the Surface (below) it compiles and runs fine in the emulator.

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            SailingStartsTheme {
                // A surface container using the 'background' color from the theme
//                Surface(color = MaterialTheme.colors.background) {
                    Greeting("Android")
//                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Does anyone else have this issue?

Yes I could not create a new project. POsted about it, no response.

Have you verified if your dependencies are up to date?

I have

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    val compose_version by extra("1.0.0-beta07")
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0-beta03")
        classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.4.32")

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle.kts files
    }
}

I just changed to compose beta 8 & kotlin 1.5.10 and it seems to be working now. Thanks

Oh God. Spent so much time trying to fix this error. New to Compose so thought I was doing something wrong. Google search did not help either 🥲
