Hi folks is there any way to hook View’s methods such as `isEnabled` to an `AbstractComposeView` ? For instance I’m trying to make a Wrapper of a composable `Button` like that:

My intention was to try to reuse some of the View’s API,  otherwise I will have to deprecate every View’s methods so people unaware of how compose works don’t try to update the view using the View’s API

Code in the :thread:

<@U4QQQ0J1H> can you remove your code from your original message and post it in the thread instead?

Snippet:
```class ButtonPrimary @JvmOverloads constructor(
    context: Context,
    attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
    defStyle: Int = 0
) : AbstractComposeView(context, attrs, defStyle) {

    var text by mutableStateOf("")
    var onClickListener by mutableStateOf({})
    private var _enabled by mutableStateOf&lt;Boolean&gt;(true)

    @Composable
    override fun Content() {
        CanvasTheme {
            ButtonPrimary(text = text, enabled = _enabled, onClick = onClickListener)
        }
    }

    override fun isEnabled(): Boolean {
        _enabled = super.isEnabled()
        return _enabled
    }
}```
The problem how to make it to invalidate/recompose the view when I call the `isEnabled= true`

```findViewById&lt;ButtonPrimary&gt;(R.id.myButton).apply {
    text = "My Compose in XML"
    onClickListener = {
        Toast.makeText(this@HomeActivity, "Toast", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        isEnabled = false // On the first click this is set but the view is not recomposed, on the second click the view changes to the disabled state
    }
}```

override view's `setEnabled` too and use that to write your `_enabled` property

Hey <@UJBKXD0HH> thanks for the answer, I’ve tried that as in the snippet

```    override fun isEnabled(): Boolean {
        _enabled = super.isEnabled()
        return _enabled
    }```
but for some reason the view is not recomposed properly (bug maybe?)

```findViewById&lt;ButtonPrimary&gt;(R.id.myButton).apply {
    text = "My Compose in XML"
    onClickListener = {
        Toast.makeText(this@HomeActivity, "Toast", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        isEnabled = false // On the first click this is set but the view is not recomposed, on the second click the view changes to the disabled state
    }
}```
By setting the View’s `isEnabled` to false inside the clickListener, it only updates the value to false after the second click

I meant setting the field like this  ` isEnabled = false` in the AbstractComposeView make `false` but in the Compose is true, the UI doesn’t reflect until the second click

I’ve made a sample here

device-2021-03-23-165225.webm

if I update the `_enabled` here: <https://github.com/leobrujah/CountdownCompose/commit/214b70dbf1e24188e478f641fbf19df38c576723#diff-0a0e9f84d9fcc545d192b779e71d49ba6ca0c637b9fe501d81b67252e8f248adR52|https://github.com/leobrujah/CountdownCompose/commit/214b70dbf1e24188e478f641fbf19df38c576723#diff-0a0e9f84d9fcc545d192[…]9fe501d81b67252e8f248adR52>

It works properly, only inside the override method it doesn’t

nvm I wasn’t calling `setEnabled` :face_palm:
