Being able to run Previews in the emulator is really cool. But we noticed that once we converted a module to a Library, that became impossible? is there a solution to that? (other than copy/paste it into the app source space)?

Heavily biased but if you are willing to “run” it on the emulator, this might work for you - https://github.com/airbnb/Showkase

I haven’t had any issues using previews in my android library module

@Bryan Herbst to be clear: did not say they don’t work, they do, they render just fine. Can no longer run them in the emulator.

Let me know if you like it once you use it 🙏🏼

Ahhh, I see, I haven’t been using that feature yet! Might be worth throwing up a request on the issue tracker: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:612128

@codeslubber actually I need to upgrade the library to the latest compose version. Will be doing it later today…
