How can I connect my device to ComposeFlow to run the application?

[krestyanikov]

Hello.

The website shows that ComposeFlow connects to the device to run the application. I connected my phone via USB and it showed up in Android Studio, but only Web Preview is available in ComposeFlow. How can I connect the device?

I'm using Windows 11. Thank you.

Hi,

Apologies for the confusion, connecting to local emulators are not exposed to the production build (only available in the development build at the moment). Because it needs more strict tools setup than running the web preview.

It may be exposed in the future release, but in the meantime please use the web preview or download the project and open it in Android Studio (or other IDE) to run it in the local emulator.

Thank you. I hope this feature comes soon.

Hello,

Yes, the local emulator works fine.

Thank you!

Hello Takeshi Hagikura

When I tried to use a local emulator, I noticed something strange. As a result, the application was installed on my phone! I checked this again and it turned out that when starting a preview on the emulator, installation occurs on 2 devices - my phone and emulator. I think this is not entirely expected behavior, although the result looks interesting to me. But all the same, I think that I would prefer the faster time to start the application on the emulator than installation for two devices at once.

What do you think about this feature?

Hi,

Confirmed that this is reproducible on my local PC.
I'll investigate and fix it anytime soon.

Thanks for the report!

This should be fixed in 0.7.7.2. Please let me know if the issue still persists. Thanks!
