vectorResource

was deprecated with recommendation to use

painterResource

which creates Painter. How to convert

Painter

to

ImageVector

?

Why do you need

Painter

 to 

ImageVector

conversion?

What is the correct new way to load ImageVector?

With the new

painterResource

you're supposed to use

Image(painter = painterResource(R.drawable.drawable_id))

found it!

For example

Icons.Default.SomeIcon

still is a Vector Image. I had a list of screens where each screen had an Icon (either a drawable resource, or a built-in compose icon). This no longer works since painterResource returns a Painter, the other one still is a vector Image. So icon would have to be either a Painter or a VectorImage. A way to convert between those two would indeed be nice, so I dont have

if icon is painter Icon(painterResource = icon) else Icon(imageVector = icon)

Not the way I am doing it, but you get the gist.
