Is there a way to try compose on a windows pc?

Looking at https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/refs/heads/androidx-master-dev/ui/studiow#165, it doesn't look like it is supported. You can always install a linux VM I guess ?

That's what I did at first, but it's so slow 😞

I can see compose on windows with https://github.com/Mishkun/try-compose

I can't run anything though, this repo is intended for linux as can see by the

./studiow

I am running it on windows and seeing the source code of compose. What I did was clone the repo, copy paste the zip that you can download from the readme. without using studiow.

but do you have the compose plugin?

I can see the Hello World example

On an android device?

yes

what folder did you open in android studio?

as a normal project, and the inside the root I paste the androidx_prebuilts folder downloaded from the readme of that repo. Just works for me after that When I launch it.

Where is the hello world example? Does it just appear in the root directory for you?

great @Fudge glade to hear that.

Can we run Studio from the WSL? Maybe I can do it using Pengwin.

@dewildte I don't recommend trying to do it, WSL has no graphical interface. Just use the windows method we talked about here.
