Trying to learn Compose. I see lots of samples people have written using …, style=+textThemeStyle but cannot for the life of me figure out what textThemeStyle is. There’s a Github project I found that suggests it’s in androidx.ui.material but I don’t see it there for me. Probably something that was removed/deprecated-and-removed. What is it replaced by?

I have one of my Composable functions wrapping a Scaffold with CustomTheme, and inside there I want to style a Text with a Typography defined inside the CustomTheme.

Nothing I can find in Compose docs when searching on “textThemeStyle”

Yeah that was removed a long time ago, if you're on a newer version of Compose you will want:

MaterialTheme.typography().h1 , replacing h1 with the style you want

Here's the documentation for the MaterialTheme object which is the entry point for accessing the theme

Cool, thanks. Preview definitely changed, but changed to look like there’s no theme at all now, haha. I’ll investigate, but at least I know how to translate that erstwhile inline function.

You'll also want to remove the + on newer Compose versions

[kyleg]

Yes, thanks Ryan. The textThemeStyle appears to have been removed without notes as to how to replace, but the unaryPlus operating on various things in Compose remains in the code but with a Deprecate annotation and a note about how it’s not necessary anymore.
