var value by remember { mutableStateOf(default) } produce error, why?
AndroidAndroid Jetpack-ComposeAndroid Problem Overview
I'm referring to the example in https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/state. When I code
var expanded by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
It errors stating
Type 'TypeVariable(T)' has no method 'getValue(Nothing?, KProperty<*>)' and thus it cannot serve as a delegate
The below works though
val expanded = remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
// OR
val (expanded, setExpanded) = remember { mutableStateOf(false) }

Solution 1 - Android
Apparently, I have to include these imports
import androidx.compose.runtime.getValue
import androidx.compose.runtime.setValue
The auto imports don't automatically recommend it in the beta Android Studio 4.2
If you use livedata, then consider the below import
import androidx.compose.runtime.livedata.observeAsState
