Hi. I'm trying to use Icons.Menu as a vector icon for an AppBarIcon, but it's expecting a Painter type for the icon argument. Anyone have any tips?

Unfortunately the corresponding Icon work did not land in that release, so currently you will need to create your own:

https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-master-dev:ui/ui-foundation/src/main/java/androidx/ui/foundation/Icon.kt;l=45

This should be available in the next release

You can pass an instance of ImagePainter which accepts Image

Right, but the Icons provided are all VectorAsset s, which currently do not have a corresponding Painter

Oh, my bad, I was pretty sure vector icons can be represented as Image 🙂

We don't have access to the given repository, as I was curious I found it googlesources https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/refs/heads/androidx-master-dev/ui/ui-foundation/src/main/java/androidx/ui/foundation/Icon.kt#45
