As per latest https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-kotlin
I can see that we can use
Compose Compiler Version - 1.4.0
Compatible Kotlin Version - 1.8.0
However, after upgrade to compose 1.4.0 and kotlin 1.8.0, I got the error below
I got this error
Failed to resolve: androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.4.0
Failed to resolve: androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-manifest:1.4.0
Failed to resolve: androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.4.0
Failed to resolve: androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling-preview:1.4.0
Failed to resolve: androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4:1.4.0
Did I miss anything?
Yes, the libraries from the androidx.compose.ui package for compose version 1.4.0 have not been released yet.
The latest version for each of these libs is 1.4.0-alpha04. You can check the versions on this page
Compose compiler and the other compose dependencies have different releases.
Currently only compose.compiler has 1.4.0 stable.
To avoid this kind of problem you have different option:
Use the BOM
The Compose Bill of Materials (BOM) lets you manage all of your Compose library versions by specifying only the BOM’s version. The BOM itself has links to the stable versions of the different Compose libraries, in such a way that they work well together.
Going forward, Compose libraries will be versioned independently, which means version numbers will start to be incremented at their own pace.
Here you can find more info about BOM.
buildscript {
ext {
compose_compiler = '1.4.0' //compiler
}
//...
}
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_compiler
}
dependencies {
// Import the Compose BOM
implementation platform('androidx.compose:compose-bom:2022.12.00')
//....
}
Or use different version in your build script:
buildscript {
ext {
compose_compiler = '1.4.0' //compiler
compose_version = '1.3.x' //compose dependencies
compose_material3 = '1.0.1' //material3 release
}
//...
}
and then:
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_compiler
}
dependencies {
// compose releases (1.3.x)
implementation "androidx.compose.material:material:$compose_version"
//...
//material3
implementation "androidx.compose.material3:material3:$compose_material3"
}
Apparently, the compose version and composeCompiler version are different.
For now, the compose version is at 1.4.0-alpha04
buildscript {
ext {
compose_ui_version = '1.4.0-alpha04'
}
}
While the composeCompiler is now 1.4.0
android {
...
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion '1.4.0'
}
}
I have an Android Studio project that works fine when I'm using Kotlin version 1.6.21 and compose version 1.2.0-rc01. The problem arises when I want to update both dependencies to the latest versions, which are 1.7.10 for Kotlin and 1.3.0-alpha01 for compose. The error that I get is:
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:kotlin-extension'.
Could not find androidx.compose.compiler:compiler:1.3.0-alpha01.
Searched in the following locations:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/androidx/compose/compiler/compiler/1.3.0-alpha01/compiler-1.3.0-alpha01.pom
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/androidx/compose/compiler/compiler/1.3.0-alpha01/compiler-1.3.0-alpha01.pom
Required by:
project :app
Any help?
Edit:
Now I'm using these versions:
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion '1.7.10'
implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.3.0-alpha01"
implementation "androidx.compose.material:material:1.3.0-alpha01"
implementation "androidx.compose.compiler:compiler:1.2.0"
Compose compiler and the other compose dependencies have different releases.
Currently the latest version of compose.compiler is 1.3.1.
You easily use different versions in your build.gradle script:
buildscript {
ext {
compose_compiler = '1.3.1'. //compiler
compose_version = '1.2.0'. //stable compose dependencies
compose_alpha = '1.3.0-alpha01' //alpha releases
}
//...
}
And then:
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_compiler
}
dependencies {
//stable releases
implementation "androidx.compose.material:material:$compose_version"
//alpha releases
implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui:$compose_alpha"
implementation "androidx.compose.material3:material3:$compose_alpha"
}
An alternate Compose compiler version can be defined with composeOptions:
android {
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion "1.2.0"
}
}
There's no need to add it as an implementation, which it definitely isn't.
runtimeOnly might eventually work, but it won't make it into the package.
There is a compatibility map for "Compose Compiler Version" compatible with "Compatible Kotlin Version" it can be found here:
so if you want to update to today's latest compose you specify:
...
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion "1.3.0"
}
...
and then in the map you find the compatible kotlin version which is 1.7.10
and set that in the other gradle file:
plugins {
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.7.10' apply false
...
}
I am using compose_version is 1.3.0-beta01 which is working fine for me. You may use like below:
Step1: Project build.gadle is look like below:
build script {
ext {
compose_version = '1.3.0-beta01'
}
}
plugins {
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.7.10' apply false
}
Step2: module build.gadle looks like
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_version
kotlinCompilerVersion '1.5.21'
}
I have a kotlin multiplatofrm library that is included into an Android and iOS app.
In my android project include it as a composite build (MyLib). But Intellisense is not working at all for all code from in MyLib, though the whole thing compiles fine. I am using Android Studio. What could be wrong and how can I debug it?
rootProject.name='xxx'
includeBuild 'MyLib'
include ':common'
include ':app'
MyLib's build.gradle.kts looks as follows:
plugins {
kotlin("multiplatform") version "1.5.31"
kotlin("native.cocoapods") version "1.5.31"
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { setUrl("https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlinx.html/") }
}
group = "com.xxx.MyLib"
// CocoaPods requires the podspec to have a version.
version = "1.0"
kotlin {
ios()
jvm {
compilations.all {
kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
testRuns["test"].executionTask.configure {
useJUnit()
}
}
cocoapods {
ios.deploymentTarget = "11.4"
frameworkName = "MyLib"
summary = "xxx"
homepage = "xxx"
podfile = project.file("../../iOS-App/Podfile")
}
sourceSets {
commonMain {
dependencies {
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.5.31")
implementation("com.badoo.reaktive:reaktive:1.2.0")
implementation("com.badoo.reaktive:reaktive-annotations:1.2.0")
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-datetime:0.3.1")
implementation("com.russhwolf:multiplatform-settings-no-arg:0.8.1")
implementation("net.swiftzer.semver:semver:1.1.1")
}
}
}
}
tasks.withType<GenerateModuleMetadata> {
enabled = true
}
I think this is likely related to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-18903
I had the same issue and it drove me crazy. How can one write code nowadays without Intellisense (answer: you can't).
I tried a ton of things (all the usual and unusual stuff you do when Android Studio / IntelliJ act up). Ultimately I upgraded to Kotlin 1.6.0-RC2 (from 1.5.31) -> https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/releases/tag/v1.6.0-RC2.
Part of that is upgrading the Kotlin Plugin:
Another part is the Kotlin Gradle Plugin dependency:
org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.0-RC2
And last but not least I had to downgrade the corouting dependency (from 1.5.2):
org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.5.0-RC
After that everything was back to normal.
I've just started a new Jetpack Compose project using the "Empty Compose Activity" Android Studio (2020.3.1 Canary 14) template, but I'm getting the following warning in my build.gradle.kts (:app) file:
'kotlinCompilerVersion: String?' is deprecated.
The deprecation does not provide any information about what to use instead. Should I simply remove this option or do something else?
kotlinCompilerVersion can be safely removed.
Compose now uses the kotlin compiler defined in your buildscript.
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.21'
//....
dependencies {
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
}
}
If you are using the plugins block (in settings.gradle or build.gradle)
pluginManagement {
//..
plugins {
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.5.21'
}
}
I seem to be having trouble with Preview in compose, the layout panel doesn't appear when I annotate a compose method with #preview. I assume I'm missing a dependency, but I've copied and pasted the code from here https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/setup. Any suggestions? (tried the usual clear cache, reopen project etc) :)
buildFeatures {
compose true
}
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion '1.0.0-alpha10'
kotlinCompilerVersion '1.4.21'
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.0.0-alpha10'
// Tooling support (Previews, etc.)
implementation 'androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.0.0-alpha10'
// Foundation (Border, Background, Box, Image, Scroll, shapes, animations, etc.)
implementation 'androidx.compose.foundation:foundation:1.0.0-alpha10'
// Material Design
implementation 'androidx.compose.material:material:1.0.0-alpha10'
// Material design icons
implementation 'androidx.compose.material:material-icons-core:1.0.0-alpha10'
implementation 'androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended:1.0.0-alpha10'
// Integration with observables
implementation 'androidx.compose.runtime:runtime-livedata:1.0.0-alpha10'
implementation 'androidx.compose.runtime:runtime-rxjava2:1.0.0-alpha10'
// UI Tests
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4:1.0.0-alpha10'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.1'
}
Here is my attempt at using preview (in AS it says Function "DefaultPreview" is never used)
import androidx.compose.ui.tooling.preview.Preview
.....
#Preview
#Composable
fun DefaultPreview() {
Text(text = "Hello!")
}
buildFeatures {
compose true
}
Write the above piece of code inside the Android block in the build.gradle file.
Your problem will then be solved.
For me it was some kind of mixture
Be sure you have latest Android Studio version
Within project/build.gradle be sure you have
dependencies {
classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.20'
}
Within app/build.gradle be sure you have
android {
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion'1.1.1'
}
buildFeatures {
compose true
}
}
dependencies {
implementation("androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.1.1")
// Tooling support (Previews, etc.)
debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.1.1"
implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling-preview:1.1.1"
// Foundation (Border, Background, Box, Image, Scroll, shapes, animations, etc.)
implementation("androidx.compose.foundation:foundation:1.1.1")
// Material Design
implementation("androidx.compose.material:material:1.1.1")
// Material design icons
implementation("androidx.compose.material:material-icons-core:1.1.1")
implementation("androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended:1.1.1")
// Integration with observables
implementation("androidx.compose.runtime:runtime-livedata:1.1.1")
implementation("androidx.compose.runtime:runtime-rxjava2:1.1.1")
}
File -> Invalidate Ccaches and restart
Run project once
Very important:
check for correct #Preview import - should be:
import androidx.compose.ui.tooling.preview.Preview
Example:
#Composable
fun SimpleComposable() {
Text("Hello World")
}
#Preview
#Composable
fun ComposablePreview() {
SimpleComposable()
}
#Preview function should be without params.
I'm going to leave this up in case others run into the same issue as I did (it is user error, but I also think the documentation could be clearer).
There are two versions of Android Canary, beta and arctic fox (alpha). Make sure you are using arctic fox if you want to use the latest version of the compose libraries. I've found the compose library 'androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.0.0-alpha08' (and higher) doesn't work very well with the beta version of canary.
I think you can find something you want in configuration
For me, I missed one more dependency in my module's gradle
debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:$compose_version"
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/tooling
Updating to the latest version of AS solved the error for me.
Try the latest version from here https://developer.android.com/studio/preview
The Jetpack Compose (rc01, rc02) has an issue with #Preview. You can solve it by adding the following code in your build.gradle file:
android {
...
}
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force("androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.0.0-beta09")
force("androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling-data:1.0.0-beta09")
force("androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling-preview:1.0.0-beta09")
}
}
dependencies {
...
}
Example: https://github.com/AlexZhukovich/ComposePlayground/blob/main/app/build.gradle
I had to add
debugImplementation 'androidx.customview:customview-poolingcontainer:1.0.0-rc01'
debugImplementation 'androidx.customview:customview:1.1.0'
Source
This is what worked for me add these dependencies if missed any
In the new AS compose runtime is missing and probably moved to something else and added UI tooling from the top when these were added studio started working with preview.
implementation("androidx.compose.runtime:runtime:1.2.0")
implementation("androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.2.0")
all together
implementation("androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.5.1")
implementation("androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.2.0")
implementation("androidx.compose.runtime:runtime:1.2.0")
implementation("androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling-preview:1.2.0")
implementation("androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.2.0")
For me I just didn't have the following in my gradle file:
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion '1.0.3'
}
and
buildFeatures {
compose true
}
in project's build.gradle specify:
dependencies {
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.30"
}
I had the same issue, and also had some compiling problems. My conclusion is that you need a good "variable versions" schema, for example is important use the same version for some dependencies, for example the Kotlin version.
I did something like this project: Jetpack Compose Navigation
where they using a global definition of version variables like this:
buildscript {
ext {
// Sdk and tools
compileSdkVersion = 33
minSdkVersion = 21
targetSdkVersion = 32
// App dependencies
appCompatVersion = '1.5.1'
activityComposeVersion = '1.6.0'
composeCompilerVersion = "1.3.0"
composeVersion = '1.2.1'
coreTestingVersion = '2.1.0'
espressoVersion = '3.4.0'
gradleVersion = '7.2.2'
kotlinVersion = '1.7.10'
ktlintVersion = '0.45.2'
ktxVersion = '1.9.0'
materialVersion = '1.6.1'
navigationComposeVersion = '2.5.2'
}
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:$gradleVersion"
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion"
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.14'
classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.9.2'
}
}
And then use it in your app build.gradle too:
dependencies {
implementation project(path: ':libtoolscommon')
implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:$rootProject.appCompatVersion"
implementation "androidx.core:core-ktx:$rootProject.ktxVersion"
implementation "com.google.android.material:material:$rootProject.materialVersion"
implementation 'androidx.preference:preference-ktx:1.2.0'
// Compose
implementation "androidx.compose.runtime:runtime:$rootProject.composeVersion"
implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui:$rootProject.composeVersion"
implementation "androidx.compose.foundation:foundation:$rootProject.composeVersion"
implementation "androidx.compose.material:material:$rootProject.composeVersion"
implementation "androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended:$rootProject.composeVersion"
implementation "androidx.activity:activity-compose:$rootProject.activityComposeVersion"
implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-compose:$rootProject.navigationComposeVersion"
debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:$rootProject.composeVersion"
// Testing dependencies
androidTestImplementation "androidx.arch.core:core-testing:$rootProject.coreTestingVersion"
androidTestImplementation "androidx.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:$rootProject.espressoVersion"
androidTestImplementation "androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:$rootProject.espressoVersion"
// Compose testing dependencies
androidTestImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4:$rootProject.composeVersion"
debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-manifest:$rootProject.composeVersion"
implementation "androidx.compose.material3:material3:1.0.0-beta03"
implementation "androidx.compose.material3:material3-window-size-class:1.0.0-beta03"
implementation 'androidx.window:window:1.1.0-alpha03'
---
}
And also try to have the last version of this libraries.
If you have a whole project in Kotlin, it should be like this:
implementation(libs.androidx.core.ktx)
implementation(libs.kotlin.stdlib)
implementation(libs.kotlinx.coroutines.android)
implementation(libs.androidx.compose.ui.tooling.preview)
debugImplementation(libs.androidx.compose.ui.tooling)
implementation(libs.androidx.compose.materialWindow)
implementation(libs.androidx.compose.material.iconsExtended)
implementation(libs.androidx.lifecycle.runtime)
implementation(libs.androidx.lifecycle.viewModelCompose)
implementation(libs.androidx.navigation.compose)
implementation(libs.androidx.activity.compose)
implementation(libs.androidx.window)
Expect it to show in the 'Split' or 'Design' mode after a build. (Not right over code like it seems in the tutorial.)
