I am using Android Canary 4 for android development using compose. I want to know is there any issue with compose or canary editor as it cannot able show preview window even after cleaning and rebuilding an app.
I also noticed that even after adding file inside resources folder, editor shows error that file doesn't exists.

Is there any way to overcome this issue without restarting the editor each and everytime.

It’s not clear what’s the problem

[amar_1995]

I am not able to view preview window even after using @Preview function.
Second problem is that even after adding drawable resource file inside res folder, editor show red as it wasn't able to find that file.

can you share your @Preview function?

[amar_1995]

@Preview
@Composable
fun SettingPreview() {
    SettingTicket("Billing")
}

Have you tried closing/reopening AS? 🧌

[amar_1995]

Closing the entire editor and restarting solve this issue.

[Luca Nicoletti]

And what if you update the message and rebuild?

[Luca Nicoletti]

It the @Preview updated?

[Luca Nicoletti]

Or do you have to restart the IDE everytime?

[amar_1995]

Once the preview got loaded it work fine. Update show in preivew after refresh.
But if I create new file with new preview function then I need to restart entire editor to see the preview window.

[Luca Nicoletti]

Just use a Preview.kt file which holds all the `@Preview`s 🧌

Okay 👍

Probably just closing and opening again the file also helps. It is currently needed when you introduce the first preview in the file to workaround the bug

Is there a bug filed for this? Can we have a link?
