Hi people, I'm hoping to use Google Sign-in in a compose app by using the 
AndroidView
Composable, but I can't seem to get it working. Has anyone else had luck embedding an old-style view on the 
alpha-02
build? It doesn't necessarily need to be Google Sign-in, it could be any other view. I've watched the alpha video where they embed the Google Maps view but that did not help me!

What's not working for you? Can you share any code?

Hi, the problem I have is that I'm not understanding the signature of the 
AndroidView
Composable. I don't know what I am supposed to pass to the 
viewBlock
parameter. Initially I thought I could pass an activity or a fragment, but having thought about it for a while, I think that I somehow need to be able to pass just the GSI button, which is of class 
com.google.android.gms.common.SignInButton
. Any thoughts?

It's the view constructor. Most often you can just pass a function reference (e.g. 
::SignInButton
), but that's basically the same as passing a lambda: 
{ context -> SignInButton(context) }

<2 days later> Thanks for the help @Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD], in the end, I just implemented the Google Sign-in as a separate Activity. The ability to mix and match old-style UI and Compose is pretty neat. I feel sure that in the future, Google will get around to creating a native Compose GSI component and I'll switch over at that point.

Maybe, but I wouldn't count on it. They've said there are certain components they're never going to port because it isn't worth it. Idk if this is one of them but it's not a standard material component so I can't imagine it's very high priority. I'm curious though, why didn't you end up just using 
AndroidView
?

Re-using an existing activity from an earlier build made for quicker progress. I can always come back to it. User experience is basically the same...
