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. You can find more information here: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/resources
