any idea to make android studio Jetpack compose auto refresh like Hot reload in Flutter it's annoying! Is there Auto-refresh in Jetpack Compose viewer?
Right now, compose does not support Hot reloads.
But Literals values can be updated directly.
Some supported types.
Int
String
Color
Dp
Boolean
You can view constant literals that trigger real-time updates without the compilation step by enabling these highlighted values.
Reference
When Android Studio Electric Eel becomes stable, Live Edit is enabled by default that acts as Hot Reload. Right now its still on preview.

I wanted to convert the XML code to Jetpack Compose code using the Recompose plugin (https://github.com/pocmo/recompose).
The following error occurs when trying to install a plug-in: Error
My version of Android Studio: About Android Studio
Please help.
It looks like recompose has not been updated to run as a plugin in the later Android Studio versions. You can still run recompose from the command line. My experience was that it was limited and could not handle a large amount of my layout XML, as I have a good bit of logic around animations, layer-lists, themed vector assets, dynamically updated texts and drawables, and conditional visibility.
To try with the command line, you can use something like this
./gradlew recompose-cli:run --args="C:\Users\Admin\AndroidStudioProjects\SmarterGarage\sglibrary\src\main\res\layout\activity_main.xml"
I just started to use the Jetpack compose toolkit. I added the #Preview and a set showBackground = true, showSystemUi = true as parameters and it works really good. But every time i add or change something it doesn't auto refresh by itself, so i have to do it manually.
as Raul text, padding and some other things update automatically, but **
make sure you have live edit of literals on
**.
But soon Live edit of composables, not just literals (Int, String, Dp...) will be available, :

for the static resources like text, color the UI updates automatically, as it does on the running application, but for the structural components you need to rebuild the project and the changes apply automatically in the preview as well.
Some Components auto-refresh on version 1.1.1
I use Compose with AS Arctic Fox v2020.3.1. When I update the code, the preview does not render in real-time. AS show the message "The preview is out of date" and I must click "Build & Refresh". I'd like it to render UI in real-time, similar to XML Design.
How do it?
Thanks in advance.
AFAIK you can't. You're able to edit string values and certain others, such as padding dp's but when adding or removing elements, you have to rebuild to view the updated layout.
This is from the 5 minute journal app, when you click on the container, it expands, and you can switch to different containers by clicking on it.
I'm mostly interested in how to build it using flutter
This will definitely require a fair amount of custom code. The general idea in flutter would be to use a hero animation. See the documentation https://flutter.dev/docs/development/ui/animations/hero-animations.
I figured out i can achieve this using bottom sheet, or packages that implement material backdrop such as backdrop and sliding_up_panel
Using Android Studio 3.4 Canary 9 and 10
ConstraintLayout 2.0.0.alpha3
I am having an issue with constraint layout in the bleeding edge build of Android Studio 3.4 canary 9. Basically, when you click on a view in constraint layout, say on a chain element, you should be able to see small icons appear that allow you to perform certain actions on the views.
As you can see, under each view are 3 buttons that allow you to change the chain settings. However, this is what I get in my layout editor on 3.4.C09 when clicking on an element in a chain:
Did they get disabled or moved elsewhere? Is this a bug? I have looked everywhere in the IDE without any luck, tried zooming in / zooming out, changing the theme, invalidating caches/restart, clean rebuild etc.
Thank you for any help provided!
UPDATE
Now you should see Circle Chain mode option in right-click menu in Android Studio 3.6.
According to the official response, this function has been removed in AS3.4.
But there seems to be no alternative. I have reported this problem to Goole and you can track here.
For now, you can add app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle attr in xml manually. And after that Cycle chain mode options will appeare in the right-click menu.
It is now available in attributes under layout_constraints. ( AS 3.5 )
