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'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
android {

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"
