I’m using Android Studio to build a Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) app using Compose Multiplatform, which I got from the Kotlin Multiplatform Wizard.
If I want to add a resource (such as an image or SVG) to my app I’m supposed to copy the resource’s file into the right place and then reference the resource in my Kotlin code using something like Res.drawable.<name_of_file>.
The issue is that I’m getting a compile-time error about Res.drawable.<name_of_file> not being defined. This makes sense because I added the file but didn’t re-generate the Res class.
I have two questions:
-
Does anyone know the name of the Gradle task that will re-generate the Res class?
-
Does anyone know how to find the Gradle task that re-generates Res? I’ve gone looking through the list of all the Gradle tasks (using
the Gradle panel in Android Studio) but I haven’t found anything
with a name that suggests it rebuilds Res. The list is long and most
of the tasks seem to be defined outside the project itself.
