Any idea why Compose Preview is not working anymore in Android Studio? Is this a known issue? I'm using AS:
Copy code
Android Studio 4.2 Canary 7
Build #AI-201.7846.76.42.6720134, built on July 30, 2020
Runtime version: 1.8.0_242-release-1644-b3-6222593 x86_64
with Gradle 
6.6
, Android build tools 
4.2.0-alpha07
, Kotlin 
1.4.0
and Compose 
0.1.0-dev17
. When I rebuild the project, the Preview doesn't show anything. It's a brand new project created using the "Compose Activity" template in AS and the Preview was working before updating to the latest dependencies (the template in AS was using Compose 
0.1.0-dev13
).

Imported and tested on 
develop
branch of Jetnews sample app, but same thing there
g
as I know it broken now because of Kotlin 1.4, will be fixed in upcoming AS alphas

Seems like the problem is with the recent versions of Compose rather than Studio itself because preview seems fine with earlier versions of Compose.

It's because the dependency on Kotlin 1.4
Canary 8 should fix that

I also read somewhere that it's because of Android studio and Kotlin 1.4. Waiting for Canary 8 then. I guess they'll release it soon

Alpha 8 takes a long time to release more than three weeks. Canary builds used to be released faster I guess.

previews are back with 
1.0.0-alpha01
and canary 8

Oh yes, I forgot to update the thread here 🙂 I'm using Canary 8 since day 1 of its release and previews are back in the game 😎 @Sourabh Rawat why don't you just download it from the Android dev site?

I got the update in the toolbox. I didnt want to mess up my studio installation by downloading directly from thee dev site. 😅
