Add images: Android Basics with Compose

URL of codelab - Codelab

In which task and step of the codelab can this issue be found? Task - 3. Add an Image composable

Step - Preview the Image composable

Describe the problem I followed the exact same directions given in the codelab, but my Android Studio can't render the composable after adding Image composable in it. Although, this is working fine when I'm running it on a physical device.

Steps to reproduce?

1. Create img composable such as:

   @Composable
   fun GreetingImg(modifier: Modifier = Modifier) {
   val greetingImg = painterResource(id = R.drawable.androidparty)
   val altText: String = "Greeting Img"
   Image(
       painter = greetingImg,
       contentDescription = altText
   )
   }

   

Versions Android Studio version: Build #AI-233.14808.21.2331.11709847 API version of the emulator: 34-ext13

I was getting error in preview androidx.compose.ui.res.ResourceResolutionException: Error attempting to load resource: androidparty

If I convert PNG to WEBP it starts working. Is there a way to show PNG in preview?
