A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

```abstract class ComposeAbstractTest {
    @Composable
    abstract fun createView()
}

class ComposeTest: ComposeAbstractTest {
    @Composable
    fun createView() {
        Column { }
    }
}```
Hi is such a thing possible?
I'm getting a runtime error with my provided example and my understanding of Compose it seems like this shouldn't be possible.

Do you mean the `ComposeTest` extends `ComposeAbstractTest`?

Can you paste the error? This is how `ComposeView` is implemented so it's definitely intended to work :slightly_smiling_face:

Top of the stack trace

```    java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method createView(Landroidx/compose/runtime/Composer;I)V in class Ldev/birdsofparadise/mua/lifecycle/ComposeView; or its super classes (declaration of 'dev.birdsofparadise.mua.lifecycle.ComposeView' appears in /data/data/dev.birdsofparadise.notestand.app.androidApp/code_cache/.overlay/base.apk/classes5.dex)
        at dev.birdsofparadise.mua.lifecycle.ComposeActivityKt$addComposableViewRoute$1.invoke(ComposeActivity.kt:59)```
Usage:

```    val platformInterface = createComposeView()
    if (platformInterface is ComposeView) {
        platformInterface.createView()
    } else {
        throw Error("TODO")
    }```


So the issue steams from casting it somehow because

```val platformInterface = ComposeTest()
platformInterface.createView()```
works

```val platformInterface = createComposeView() as ComposeTest
platformInterface.createView()```
works

Interesting. Can you open an issue on the tracker with the repro? We'll have a look

arent you supposed to add the override keyword?

I'm not able to reproduce it in a clean project, which leads me to believe it might not directly relate to Compose. I'll keep looking into it

Looks like this is related to
<https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/200575917>
<https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/197727783>

It might be :shrug: its been awhile sorry

No worries. I think I am hitting the exact issue with Compose 1.0.3

It is not addressed in the latest versions, I will file an issue regarding this stacktrace - I think it is slightly different from the two issues mentioned above

Looks like it is actually not a problem for Compose in my case, I just forgot to have `android.buildFeatures.compose true` in the module hosting the base abstract class.
