What is the preferred way of loading an icon into a FloatingActionButton ?

[allan.conda]

* @param content the content of this FAB - this is typically an [Icon].

[Rafs]

I have a drawable xml icon that I want to load but it seems I can't do that with imageResource()

[Kshitij Patil]

I think you might want to use vectorResource for that

[Rafs]

I don't see an overload of Icon composable which accepts the ImageVector produced from vectorResource

[Kshitij Patil]

Which compose version are you using?

[Rafs]

alpha08

[Kshitij Patil]

Check whether the parameter name being changed to asset

FloatingActionButton(
    modifier = modifier
        .padding(FabPadding)
        .align(Alignment.BottomEnd),
    onClick = onClick
) {
    Icon(imageVector = vectorResource(id = R.drawable.ic_add))
}

@allan.conda Why do you wrap ImageVector in a VectorPainter?

[allan.conda]

I don’t, that’s official API

[allan.conda]

that’s the method you called in your code

Oh 😄
