I am having this issue When previewing composable from file.
This is the code I made in other kotlin file.
package com.example.movieapp.screens.home.details
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Arrangement
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Column
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxHeight
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxWidth
import androidx.compose.material.Surface
import androidx.compose.material.Text
import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable
import androidx.compose.ui.Alignment
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.tooling.preview.Preview
import androidx.navigation.NavController
@Composable
@Preview(showSystemUi = true, showBackground = true)
fun DetailsScreen(navController: NavController, movieData: String?){
Surface(modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxWidth()
.fillMaxHeight()) {
Column(horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally, verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center) {
// Text(text = "Details here about $movieData")
Text(text = "Details here about")
}
}
}
Issue below when previewing the design
java.lang.NullPointerException: Parameter specified as non-null is null: method com.example.movieapp.screens.home.details.DetailsScreenKt.DetailsScreen, parameter navController

However In my MainActivity.kt, the composable preview had no error. Image as shown below: main activity
DetailsScreen.kt Composable problem: DetailsScreen.kt
What I have done is:
I change my dependencies from $compose_version
to 1.1.1
as the android dev suggest the latest stable version
build.Gradle dependencies:
dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.7.0'
implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.1.1"
implementation "androidx.compose.material:material:1.1.1"
implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling-preview:1.1.1"
implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.0.1"
implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.3.1'
implementation 'androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.3.1'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
androidTestImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4:1.1.1"
// debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:$compose_version"
// debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-manifest:$compose_version"
implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-compose:2.4.2"
}
I can't find any solution to this.
My android studio version is : Android Studio Chipmunk 2021.2.1
I wonder why it only works in the MainActivity and only one composable preview is allowed. Any ideas? Thanks
CodePudding user response:
You need to separate function declaration and its preview:
@Composable
fun DetailsScreen(navController: NavController, movieData: String?) {
//...
And you can have as many previews as you need:
@Preview(showSystemUi = true, showBackground = true)
fun DetailsScreenPreview() { //no parameters here
DetailsScreen(navController = rememberNavController(), movieData = "Preview 1")
}
@Preview(showSystemUi = true, showBackground = true)
fun DetailsScreenPreview2() { //no parameters here
DetailsScreen(navController = rememberNavController(), movieData = "Preview 2")
}
