Compose previews are a powerful tool for visualizing composables at design time in Android Studio, but manually setting up mock data for the preview parameters can be time-consuming. Gemini in Android Studio includes a feature that solves this problem: automated Compose preview generation.
You can access this tool in two ways:
Within any composable, right-click and navigate to Gemini > Generate "<composable>" Preview or Generate Compose Previews for this file.
If you don't have any previews set up yet, in the empty preview panel click Auto-generate Compose Previews for this file.
When you ask Gemini to generate Compose previews, you get a diff view with Gemini's suggested Compose preview code where you can accept or reject the proposed changes. Gemini's code should provide a valuable starting point to accelerate your development workflow.
