I am trying to fire an intent to move to the next activity when I click on an ExtendedFloatingActionButton. To obtain the context, I tried

ContextAmbient.current

but android studio is unable to generate the error message. So I ended up using the context like this

val context = ambientOf { ContextAmbient } as Context

But when I fire the intent, the app crashes with the following error.

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    Process: com.sivan.pinotes, PID: 25739
    java.lang.ClassCastException: androidx.compose.runtime.DynamicProvidableAmbient cannot be cast to android.content.Context
        at com.sivan.pinotes.MainActivityKt$extendedFAB$2$1.invoke(MainActivity.kt:65)

        at androidx.compose.foundation.ClickableKt$clickable$2$tap$1.invoke(Clickable.kt:79)

If DynamicProvidableAmbient cannot be cast to a Context, are there any alternatives to this approach?

You have to call

ContextAmbient.current

I tried. And it is throwing an unknown error. Running

1.0.0-alpha01

btw

The

current

property is a Composable while the onClick lambda isn't. You have to call it outside onClick. Something like

val context = ContextAmbient.current

and then use the context in onClick.

Ahh. Works. Thanks buddy 🙂
