I just published uri-kmp a uri library for all kmp targets, ported from AOSP's Uri implementation.

Check it out, I'd love to hear your feedback 😄

I wonder why you didn't typealias to android URI if you ported it from there? Would help ease the interop with other android libs

[eygraber]

Meaning have an expect class with an actual that is a typealias on Android, and an actual that uses the common implementation on other platforms?

[Big Chungus]

Exactly

[Big Chungus]

This is a recommended approach when porting existing APIs from one platform to mpp

[Big Chungus]

Good example of that is #compose-desktop

[eygraber]

Good to know.

A few reasons why I might not do that here:

1. I slightly changed the API and implementation
2. It's a platform class on Android, so there could be different behavior depending on the version of Android being used
3. It's a relatively small and simple class
I'll have to give all that some more thought.

I assume implementation("com.eygraber:uri-kmp:0.0.3") goes in commonMain?

[eygraber]

That's correct. Is there an issue with that?

[David Nedrow]

Nope, just wasn’t clear from the README.md

[eygraber]

Good point, I copied that from one of my other projects.

I'll update the README

That artefact can go into jsMain jvmMain, etc... too. Gradle metadata will resolve it just fine.
