I've been using OwnerAmbient to get access to the root View for inflating nested Android views further down in the composition. The inflation is being done by another library, so I can't use the AndroidView(Int) composable. However, OwnerAmbient is deprecated. Is there (or will there be) another API for getting access to the View hosting a composition?

cant you use another overload? AndroidView(View)

Yes, I am using that one but I have to inflate the view first, to pass to that function.

So basically I’ve got this:

val context = ContextAmbient.current
val rootView = OwnerAmbient.current.view
val childView = remember { LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.foo, rootView, …) }
AndroidView(childView)

Except that inflation code is actually abstracted away by a different library, I just pass in the context and the parent view.

could you please file a bug with this use case?
