Cannot access 'setContent': it is internal in 'androidx.compose.ui.platform'

Question

I'm using

• Android Studio 4.3 (Artix Fox | 2020.3.1 Canary 5),
• compose_version = '1.0.0-beta01'
• Kotlin version 1.4.30

When I open Empty Compose Activity and compile, I got the below error

e: MainActivity.kt: (9, 37): Cannot access 'setContent': it is internal in 'androidx.compose.ui.platform'

It's so strange as it is a template-generated project, and should work. Any workaround it?

Answer 1

Add this line in your gradle

// In charge of setContent
implementation "androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.0.0-beta01"

activity-compose holds the reference for the setContent method you need
