Does the preview tool actually work for others? It stopped working for me the instant I split things into multiple Composable methods/files.

It does not for me - after Rendering... is gone nothing is shown in the preview winodw

Thanks. I honestly didn't realize it was expected to be working :S

In your particular example, it doesn’t work due to the function’s receiver parameter, no?

You appear to be right...maybe I have a fundamental misunderstanding of things, then. How do we pass information to a

@Composable

function without being able to use a receiver parameter or arguments, since those disable previewing?

You can create a

@Preview

that passes the necessary params to the “real”

@Composable

@Composable
fun MyAwesomeComposable(text: String) {
    Text(text)
}

@Preview
@Composable
fun MyAwesomeComposablePreview() {
    MyAwesomeComposable("Hello there")
}

I do the same as the above and it seems to work fine

oh, that's a clever workaround

I don't think its so much a workaround, its the intended use for @Preview

Interesting! Thanks.

Actually I was checking with some recent RC and it did not work but now with 1.0 it does!
