@Preview is not working with PieChart

[crroush]

@Preview
@Composable
fun PieChartPreview() {
    Box(modifier = Modifier.height(150.dp)) {
        PieChart(
            pieChartData = PieChartData(
                slices = listOf(
                    PieChartData.Slice(25F, Color.Red),
                    PieChartData.Slice(45F, Color.Green),
                    PieChartData.Slice(20F, Color.Blue),
                ),
            ),
            sliceDrawer = SimpleSliceDrawer(sliceThickness = 100f)
        )
    }
}

I am using a Android Studio 2021.1.1 Patch 3, with Jetpack Compose 1.1.1 I can display the chart no problem on my device

Which IDE? Have you tried the interactive preview?

The issue might be that there's no way to disable the chart animation, and even using snap() does not make the preview render correctly. It always renders the initial frame instead, with no values whasoever. I had the same issue with BarChart.

@bytebeats Any chance of making animation optional?

@crizzis @crroush @Preview failed to work for:

From me.bytebeats.views.charts.test/androidx.compose.ui.tooling.PreviewActivity we can see that's because no androidx.compose.ui.tooling.PreviewActivity when debugging.

Actually, if debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:$compose_version" is included into charts/build.gradle, @Preview will work.
