11/01/2020, 12:33 PMHi everyone ! Is there a simple way to write something like this
Copy code
60.dp.toPx()s

11/01/2020, 2:24 PMDo you mean simpler than that: val px = with(DensityAmbient.current) { 60.dp.toIntPx() }?

11/01/2020, 2:25 PMmaybe an extension function for Dp not scoped to Density that uses the density from the ambient

11/01/2020, 2:26 PMWe have a few API changes in progress that should reduce the need to do this using the ambient density. Can you give an example of where you are doing this so that we can consider it in those changes?
Generally we want to keep things simpler by working in dp during composition and pixels in layout, drawing, and touch input handling. In those pixel cases the density should already be available and this will just work

11/01/2020, 6:25 PMa lot of them are likely to be moving pixel-based computations to post-composition with
Densitythings like
Modifier.offsetsome of the new suspend-based input modifiers already do this
layout and drawing already do, etc.

11/01/2020, 8:06 PMHi, sorry for the late answer, and thank you for your suggestions. In fact I wanted to use this syntax for creating a Picasso element (the famous image loading library), as I have to give the size in Pixels in the constructor.
