Hi, what is the proper way to paint a Vectorial images in the version dev07?

[pula]

@Composable
fun VectorImage(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier.None,
    @DrawableRes id: Int,
    tint: Color = Color.Transparent
) {
    val vector = vectorResource(id)
    Container(
        modifier = modifier + LayoutSize(vector.defaultWidth, vector.defaultHeight)
    ) {
        DrawVector(vector, tint)
    }
}

[pula]

is the way its been done most recently, not sure if that changed in dev07

[Miguel A. Ruiz]

thanks, but this is what I had in dev06, as I read now we have to use drawVector modifier. I have tried and this work but I need a "view" which doesn't need children

[Miguel A. Ruiz]

@Composable
fun SimpleVector(@DrawableRes id: Int, tint: Color = Color.Transparent) {
    val vector = vectorResource(id)
    Container(
        width = vector.defaultWidth,
        height = vector.defaultHeight,
        modifier = drawVector(vector, tint)
    ) {
        Text("")
    }
}

This works for me but it is a hack

[Miguel A. Ruiz]

I need to use this modifier in a component which don't need children to get rid of this empty Text

it looks like VectorPainter will replace drawVector but i think thats for dev08

[pula]

because that deprecation warning doesnt show up for me in AS

[pula]

with dev07

[Miguel A. Ruiz]

ok, so I will have to wait to dev08

[Leland Richardson [G]]

why do you need the empty text?

[Leland Richardson [G]]

does something break without it?

[Miguel A. Ruiz]

because the container require a children

[Miguel A. Ruiz]

but I know this is really ugly

[Leland Richardson [G]]

oh i forgot container was gross like that

[Leland Richardson [G]]

in general this is not the case

[Leland Richardson [G]]

just use Box

[Leland Richardson [G]]

it is the Container replacement, and there are no requirements on number of chuldren

[Leland Richardson [G]]

Container will be deprecated in dev08

[Miguel A. Ruiz]

this is working like a charm

thanks guys
