I'm tryna use Jetpack Compose with latest 1.0.0-alpha09 version and I can't find @Preview. Did they delete it?

[magnumrocha]

I think they not release the ui-tooling version 1.0.0-alpha09 yet

[magnumrocha]

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/androidx.ui/ui-tooling

[buszi0809]

So i have to use 1.0.0-alpha08 to use it?

Does this post help you ? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65155202/jetpack-compose-preview-is-unresolved-after-updating-to-alpha08

[magnumrocha]

the last ui-tooling version release is 1.0.0-alpha07

[buszi0809]

Thanks a lot

[magnumrocha]

you can do:

implementation 'androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.0.0-alpha09'
implementation 'androidx.ui:ui-tooling:1.0.0-alpha07'

[magnumrocha]

it works but, the @Preview will not work properly

[BenjO]

I'm using androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.0.0-alpha09 without a problem 🤔

I changed to 07 beta and I got it, when I switch to 09 I don't even have tooling package in ui package

[Matt Lien]

You can see the link above for some more context. But ui-tooling was renamed.

const val ui_tooling = "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:${Versions.androidx_ui_tooling}"

[buszi0809]

This still doesn't really explain what happened to @Preview and how to preview a composable in beta 09, I can't find a clue in these release notes

[BenjO]

can you show us your dependency declaration in the build.gradle file ?

[buszi0809]

implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui:$compose_version"
implementation "androidx.compose.material:material:$compose_version"
implementation "androidx.ui:ui-tooling:$compose_version"

[buszi0809]

the version is specified in project gradle file, and its 1.0.0-alpha09

[BenjO]

As @Matt Lien said, it's now androidx.compose.ui

[buszi0809]

Oh my god I didn't spot the difference in dependency, thanks a lot
