How can I use the

Preview

annotation in build 245 ?

You need to install this plugin as well

yeah I have it

You also need to add the uiTooling dependency

oh it was that, thanks !

Yes for compose desktop. In fact I do all my android UI development inside compose desktop because it is faster.

How do I use it on Intellij, I don't find it 🤔

ah okay it needs no arguments

I have IDEA UE 2021.1.3, the plugin and the

uiTooling

dependency added. The import

import androidx.compose.desktop.ui.tooling.preview.Preview

is unresolved and the preview does not work for me. I tried invalidate/restart/delete

.idea

folder, did not help. Am I missing something else?

Did you add it in the desktop module/sourceset or common module/sourceset? The dependency must be added to the desktop source set and can only be used from whichever source set you add it to (your desktop one)

I tried to add previews to the TodoApp's

compose-ui

module, which is a KMP module with

jvm

and

android

targets. The UI is in the

commonMain

source set. https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/examples/todoapp/common/compose-ui

Right, what I'm saying is that your preview annotations can't be in the commonMain source set. They need to be in the desktop/jvm source set. You can define a new file in your desktop/jvm source set or add them here: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/blob/master/examples/todoapp/desktop/src/jvmMain/kotlin/example/todo/desktop/Main.kt

Thanks Jim for your help, I'll will do.
