I am using Android Canary 4 for android development using co kotlinlang #compose

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.

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.

Copy code

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

Closing the entire editor and restarting solve this issue.

And what if you update the message and rebuild?

It the @Preview updated?

Or do you have to restart the IDE everytime?

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.

Just use a

Preview.kt

file which holds all the `@Preview`s 🧌

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
