How to load remote SVG image using Coil in Jetpack Compose


I'm failing to load this image in Image using Coil in Jetpack Compose


Solution

  • Coil doesn't support SVG by default.

    According to documentation, you need to:

    1. Add following dependency:

      implementation("io.coil-kt:coil-svg:$coil_version")
      
    2. Set SvgDecoder as decoder:

      Coil 2.0.0 version:

      AsyncImage(
          model = ImageRequest.Builder(LocalContext.current)
              .data(svgImageUrl)
              .decoderFactory(SvgDecoder.Factory())
              .build(),
          contentDescription = null
      )
      

      Coil 1.4.0 version:

      Image(
          rememberImagePainter(
              data = svgImageUrl,
              builder = {
                  decoder(SvgDecoder(LocalContext.current))
              }
          ),
          contentDescription = null
      )
      

    p.s. note that if you set the decoder this way, Coil will not be able to work with non-SVG images in this painter, so if you want some general solution, you should check the url extension and add the decoder accordingly.
