I’ve installed the plugin but I cannot use the @Preview-Annotation nor do I see the preview icon:

You need:

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

after that you can use @Preview and icon will appear

I guess my project setup is wrong.

What’s the issue?

Sorry, my internet disconnected. When I do this import it says it cannot find the import:

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

✅ 1

I’ve just created a plain project using IntelliJ. There is no gradlew - file either in the project directory. In a previous project it was there.

Without Gradle it will be pain… Can you create a project using Kotlin wizard?

You miss UI tooling library. Add to your dependencies { .... implementation(compose.uiTooling) }

it is in build.gradle.kts file

I’ve created it a second time using the wizard for Compose Desktop Apps in INtelliJ. Now gradlew is there. But the import is not working:

I’m pretty new to gradle. Only used maven so far.

implementation(compose.uiTooling) doesn’t work: nt/build.gradle.kts:21:28: Unresolved reference: uiTooling

Could you share content of your build.gradle file here?

Frank

Here it is:

build.gradle.kts

change id(“org.jetbrains.compose”) version “0.4.0" to id(“org.jetbrains.compose”) version “0.5.0-build235" and refresh gradle (after you edit the file, the grey icons will appear to the left. press both - they will reload libraties)

Preview was done only in buil235
