Preview toolbar is not appearing for my compose function, is there any setting which I may be missing. PS I restarted android studio , it doesn't work As of now I am using compose alpha09 and its an existing project also consisting of non compose code for UI @Preview @Composable fun PreviewTopBar(){ SamplePreviewFunction() }

What version of Android Studio are you using? Preview and other Compose tooling are only present on the canary builds of Android Studio.

@Adam Powell arctic fox 2020.3.1 canary 2

Not sure. You might compare gradle files against a new compose project created from the ide, and confirm that the preview works as expected from that new project

@Prashant Priyadarshi try canary 3?

@Colton Idle doesn't work with canary 3 either. However a new project with compose only code has a preview window . May be it has something to do with non compose code for ui in the existing project

I'm also facing the similar issue, i thought it has to do with AS version as I was using AS 4.2 Canary 8 but now as you're facing this even in Arctic fox, it makes me wonder whether it's Compose specific issue. I'm also using compose

alpha09

and have tried AS 4.2 Canary 8,13,14,15,16 so far, didn't work anywhere plus compose

alpha09

brings Navigation safeargs issue in the latest canary releases of AS.

have yo got solution for this? @Prashant Priyadarshi i got this issue on my project too, compose preview toolbar unavailable😅
