09/04/2020, 2:30 PMnot without some custom gradle configuration to enable the compiler plugin, since the higher level android gradle plugin options that do it for you are only present in the alpha agp builds. You also won't get compose-specific syntax highlighting or features like Preview

09/04/2020, 6:05 PMAny guidelines for the gradle configuration for making it work in the stable version? I'm more interested in making it work in Intellij than in AS

09/04/2020, 6:49 PMupgraded agp to 4.2:
com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0-alpha08gradle-6.6-rc-6-allThis version of the Android Support plugin for IntelliJ IDEA (or Android Studio) cannot open this project, please retry with version 4.2 or newer.r

09/04/2020, 6:55 PMAGP 4.2 is what you need to build at the Gradle level, but it looks like the IDE itself needs the be in sync with the version

09/04/2020, 6:56 PMyeah, it probably works when building from command line, but I'd also like the IDE previews. guess I'll switch back to AS preview

09/04/2020, 6:56 PMMore importantly we don’t do any testing or validation with versions < 4.2, so there’s no guarantee whatsoever it would work. You would also lose various features (previews, code completion support, etc.)
