is there currently a way to render/draw your own ui elements / composables (analog to creating a custom view on android and writing your own logic within onDraw)?

[allan.conda]

Canvas { // DrawScope
   drawPoint(...)
}

[allan.conda]

there’s no DrawScope.drawText yet though

thanks for the hint @allan.conda, I can’t find any documentation on the API, do you happen to know where I can find it?

[allan.conda]

what kind are you looking for?

that’s what I was looking for, thanks ❤️

I hope that custom composables will be supported by KMMP

[Martin Nowosad]

would be neat

There are a few different versions of DrawModifiers that expose a lambda with a DrawScope recevier that you can use to issue drawing calls. Modifier.drawBehind, Modifier.drawWithContent, Modifier.drawWithCache are a few examples

I hope that custom composables will be supported by KMMP

Every composable function you write is a custom composable 😉
