Hey there kotlin community! I’m working on a iOS/Android kotlin multiplatform small project where I want to display an image fetched from the network. I’m new to multiplatform but I know Android and Kotlin well enough. I have one concrete question: With the current available libraries, is most of the code for such a use case going to be shared or will I need to build the image views and the fetching in kotlin and in swift, only sharing the HTTP fetch code?

what do you wish to do with the images, treating or manipulate it? or just show in the ui of your App (transforming it or not)?

Thanks for your answer. I’m trying to keep it as simple as possible, so just to display it would be the first step. The more I can share, the better, but I’m not sure how much code I can share, for example: • Getting the image from an URL • Passing the image to an android and iOS view

if your goal is only to get and show the images on your Apps's UI, I recommend you do it on each platform (not shared).

I see… Yes that’s also what I am seeing in the examples I’ve taken a look at. I think each view (ios/android) can get the image in a callback and put in into the view. What format or object type can I pass to the view (Drawable is android-specific)?

I simply don't delegate the image loading to the Kotlin Multiplatform module

I understand now. Thanks for your input!
