08/06/2020, 3:52 PMYep, definitely
Leland tweeted about it some time ago with an example: https://twitter.com/intelligibabble/status/1273339533891788800

08/06/2020, 3:54 PMMaybe you don't have runtime connected as a dependency?
I also did an experiment with having a custom tree on server representing client UI

Did you get that working outside Android Studio?

I know that desktop variant of runtime is working with Swing as of now, so you could check that, I think

08/06/2020, 4:16 PMWoah! Swing has been done already?! Where can I find this?

08/06/2020, 4:43 PMA note for JavaFX is that the composer is not multi-thread-safe yet. That is only one composition can be running at a time so you are limited to safely performing the compositions on the main thread.
This is changing but is a limitation for at least until dev18.

08/06/2020, 4:44 PMWill keep that in mind.
I currently have this.
Copy code
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
maven("<https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-eap>")
}
val composeVersion = "0.1.0-dev16"
dependencies {
implementation("androidx.compose.runtime:runtime:$composeVersion")
implementation("androidx.compose.runtime:runtime-dispatch:$composeVersion")
// implementation("androidx.compose:compose-runtime:$composeVersion")
// implementation("androidx.compose:compose-dispatch:$composeVersion")
kotlinCompilerPluginClasspath("androidx.compose:compose-compiler:$composeVersion")
testImplementation(kotlin("test-junit"))
}s

08/08/2020, 4:12 PMHey, I imagine the difference here is that compose is published as a
desktopd
Dominaezzz
08/08/2020, 5:16 PMoh, I didn't consider that.
I just looked at the google maven repo and the artefact is
.aar.jars
shikasd
08/09/2020, 5:17 AMYeah, but the desktop one should be jar, no?
Maybe it is not published at all, so consider building it yourself 🙂
