If I have a separate file with my compose code, is there a way to access the android R.xxx.whatever ids?  `R` seems to be available, but it doesn't recognize `.string` or `.drawable` outside of an Activity class.

I've also tried using `android.R` which makes `.string` and `.drawable` accessible, but I can't access any of my custom properties defined in the xml, like I could when inside an AppCompatActivity

If you're trying to access stuff from your res directory, you need to import the R appropriate R package like: `import com.example.R` Inside composable functions you can use the function `stringResource` to get the string for a resource.
