A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I have finally added the *Desktop app* to the *D-KMP sample*:
<https://github.com/dbaroncelli/D-KMP-sample> (featured by JetBrains in their latest KMM update)
At the moment the composables for *Android* and *Desktop* are separate, in their own project directory:
_/*androidApp*/…../composables_
_/*desktopApp*/…../composables_
They are exactly the same apart from a very small difference (the Android app uses the `BackHandler` composable too). All the rest is identical, as they are *pure layout*, with *NO(!) AACViewModel/AndroidNavigation/DI* dependencies whatsoever.
My idea was to actually create an additional multiplatform project directory “*composables*”:
/_*composables*/commonMain_
_*/composables*/androidMain_
_*/composables*/desktopMain_
just for composables shared by Android and Desktop, but I found it incredible hard, as Gradle doesn’t seem to like me.
If there is anyone here who understands Gradle and the JetBrains Compose plugin very well, and has 15 minutes to spare to move the composables to their own separate project, it would be very appreciated.

Take a look at the jetbrains compose samples, there are some that share some code between Android &amp; desktop.

Due to limitations in Kotlin multiplatform plugin, I think you have to use source directories, not source sets, to share the code.

I have spent some hours, trying to setup the project as in this template:
<https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/templates/multiplatform-template>
but I kept having issues.
I would need a little support by someone who understands this stuff properly.

Here is a really minimal KMM example including Compose, ComposeDesktop, ComposWeb, KotlinReact, iOS/SwiiftUI.
Compose, ComposeDesktop share some simple components.

Feel free to get back if you have any questions.

Hi <@U3ZPQ4QR4>, thanks for the reply. In reality my issue is not with configuring the specific apps, but with configuring a multiplatform project directory (“/_*composables*_”) where to place all composables that are common between the Android and Desktop apps

Exactly. Take a look at e.g. MainScreen.kt in the project i synced. It is shared between Android and desktop.

Thanks <@U3ZPQ4QR4>, I was able to set it up!!! it’s wonderful!!!
Composables are now defined in just one place and shared by both Android and Desktop!
