by remember { } property delegate was removed? or any idea why it is not working?
Type 'TypeVariable(T)' has no method 'getValue(Nothing?, KProperty<*>)' and thus it cannot serve as a delegate
• AS 4.2.0-alpha09
• Compose 1.0.0-alpha02
Maybe the issue is AS cannot find the declaration of remember (though suggesting it in autocomplete)
(import androidx.compose.runtime.rememberimport androidx.compose.runtime.remember)

but I do have a question as to why you are just running into this now? Do you have a project that was previously working that broke as a result of the upgrade? I was looking into this bug because a bunch of people have mentioned it over the last month or two but I don't see any changes in IDE behavior.

Just import:

import androidx.compose.runtime.setValue
import androidx.compose.runtime.getValue

edited: forget about runtime, thanks @Adam Powell

[Jan Skrasek]

Oh, this is not much intuitive 😄
Actually, I wrote the code for the first time yesterday, since I've seen in the examples (mostly videos), but they do not mention getValue import so I had no idea it is needed.

But the main question is now - how can I import it with AS? The autocomplete (alt+enter on the function) doesn't suggest anything like it.

[Adam Powell]

they moved to androidx.compose.runtime.* but other than that, yes

[Jan Skrasek]

Thanks guys, now it compiles. 👍

Still don't know why:
• cannot find declaration to go to ^^^
• is there any other way than adding manually that imports

[Yashovardhan]

I faced similar issues until AS finally promoted me to import these. I think studio is acting a bit random specifically with these 2 imports. Sometimes it will prompt you to import these, other times it just won't

[Adam Powell]

we're treating it as an IDE bug at the moment. You should be able to alt+enter to apply the quick fix to import

[JD]

When i had tried even the alt enter import did not add it

[Adam Powell]

Yes, that's the bug 🙂

Is there a tracking issue for Android Studio or IDEA? Just wondering if we can track progress.

I even noticed this being called out in the codelab.
