Jetpack Compose projects unable to click if calling `Beagle.imprint`

This is our internal/private project, will try to create new or simple project for this case and update this issue hopefully to try/clone as a reproducible samples 🙏

Context:

When trying to call the Beagle.imprint (we’re still using Beagle v1.x) the Jetpack Compose click handler gone (unable to click any composable functions)

    Beagle.imprint(
        application = this,
        appearance = Appearance(
            themeResourceId = R.style.AppTheme
        ),
        behavior = Behavior(
            shouldResetPendingChangesOnClose = true
        )
    )

Commenting out the above code, as workaround to make our composable function able to click, in exchange to prevent beagle to be shown 😦

Hi,

So sorry for the late answer, I’m having a crazy week.

First of all, I STRONGLY recommend you migrate to the latest version of Beagle, I’m honestly surprised you don’t get build errors for 1.x. Here is a gist that should contain all the code you need. Or feel free to follow the steps described in the main readme of this repo, I promise it won’t take longer than 10 minutes.

However, I’m not 100% sure this will fix your issue. Beagle injects a Fragment on top of your view hierarchy that SHOULD forward all of the touch events to your app Views underneath, however, this was never tested with Compose. Please give it a try as I won’t have time to look at it before the weekend. Another idea would be to use the dialog artifact (instead of the drawer one) - again, you can only do this after version 2.x (from Gradle).

Theoretically Compose click handling should be compatible with the old View system as you can use ComposeView as part of your normal layout hierarchy. If the above steps don’t fix the issue, hopefully this should be a simple fix + quick library update on my side.

Thanks for reporting the issue!
