In my project Android Studio 4.2C2 can’t resolve to Component.setContent because of AppCompatActivity. I digged and AS is weirdly referring to fragment 1.0.0 instead of at least 1.1.0. This runs fine however so it means it’s probably just an IDE error. I checked the dependency graph and it seems all Fragment should use the latest version 1.0.0 -> 1.2.4 Now I don’t know if it’s an AS Preview, Gradler, or Compose issue. Looking for workarounds and some explanation here…

AppCompat does use an older version of Fragments (even the latest is using Fragment 1.1.0). Do you have an explicit dependency on Fragment 1.2.X?

Thanks for your quick response!

Yep, but this line should at least work from 1.1.0 (changed FragmentActivity extends androidx.core.app.ComponentActivity into androidx.activity.ComponentActivity; The setContent extension is defined on the latter) And yes it seems the app is using 1.2.4 on runtime based on the dependency graph and it’s running fine. Right now my workaround is just use ComponentActivity directly instead of AppCompatActivity, but I’m not sure that’s the right way. The codelab tut is extending AppCompatActivity

if you are going to only use compose ui and not Views in this activity it is completely fine to use ComponentActivity

ok digged a bit, looks like an Android Studio not compose.

good to know! I’ll go ahead with this for now. Thanks
