Is there any friendly way to create a custom view (or a viewholder for an item) with compose in a project using the old fashioned xml style?

[romainguy]

Do you want to use XML to create android.view.View subclasses or to use composable functions?

[romainguy]

If the former use AndroidView()

[romainguy]

If the latter, we don't offer anything and don't plan on doing so

I would like to create a component with compose and use it in my current project so I could start using it a bit without rewriting any existing views

[carlos cdmp]

but I guess that´s the second case you mention, so I will forget about it, thanks 🙂

You can embed Compose in existing view hierarchies

[romainguy]

But you can't invoke composables from XML. So you need to define a Compose host in your XML and you can then jump into Compose from there (but in your code)

[romainguy]

See https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/platform/ComposeView I believe
