I've been messing around with Jetpack Compose recently and I had gone through the basic tutorial here. Then I started looking at the Jetnewssample project they have. Now I'm ready to start working on my own project but now when I create a new project in the same parent directory as the Jetnewssample project, (which is working fine) Android Studio can no longer import androidx.ui.core.Text or androidx.ui.core.setContent. I can import other classes from the same location but now I just get an unresolved reference error. This is a new project set to start with an Empty Compose Activity. Here is the code:
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import androidx.compose.Composable
import androidx.ui.core.Text
import androidx.ui.core.setContent
import androidx.ui.material.MaterialTheme
import androidx.ui.tooling.preview.Preview
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContent {
MaterialTheme {
Greeting("Android")
}
}
}
}
@Composable
fun Greeting(name: String) {
Text(text = "Hello $name!")
}
@Preview
@Composable
fun DefaultPreview() {
MaterialTheme {
Greeting("Android")
}
}
Here's the module's gradle build file:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

Today, we're releasing version 1.2 of Jetpack Compose, Android's modern, native UI toolkit, continuing to build out our roadmap.
Independence from Android platform releases This unbundled approach also means that Jetpack Compose is backward compatible with older versions of Android, so it can be added to existing applications that are already using the View-based UI framework.
Jetpack Compose is stable, ready for production, and continues to add the features you've been asking us for. We've been thrilled to see tens of thousands of apps start using Jetpack Compose in production already and we can't wait to see what you'll build!
Jetpack Compose comes with all the functionality needed to build a rich and responsive application UI and features full interoperability with current Android views, making it easy for developers to implement in existing projects.
Update on :May-2021
Add below dependencies in app level Gradle or kts file for set content{ .. }
implementation("androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.3.0-alpha07")
Those seem to be in ui-framework
for dev03
. Try adding that dependency to your lineup:
implementation "androidx.ui:ui-framework:0.1.0-dev03"
