ARTICLE AD BOX
Hello everyone,
I am experiencing a persistent crash in my Jetpack Compose project while using Coil (AsyncImage) inside a LazyColumn. The data is being observed from a remote service via Flow.
The crash specifically occurs during high-speed scrolling (stress testing). After several trials, I isolated the issue and confirmed that the crash only happens when AsyncImage is present. Replacing it with a standard Image or Box resolves the issue, which points to a race condition within Coil’s internal measurement logic.
Environment:
Compose BOM: 2026.02.01
Coil Version: 2.2.2
Kotlin Version: 2.0.21
Compiler: Kotlin 2.0 Compose Compiler
Code :
@Composable fun CountryCardItem( country: CountryItem, onCountryClick: (String) -> Unit ) { Card( modifier = Modifier .fillMaxWidth() .padding(horizontal = Dimens.dp16, vertical = Dimens.dp6) .clip(shape = RoundedCornerShape(Dimens.dp12)) .clickable { onCountryClick(country.name.toString()) }, shape = RoundedCornerShape(Dimens.dp12), elevation = CardDefaults.cardElevation(defaultElevation = Dimens.dp2), colors = CardDefaults.cardColors(containerColor = Color.White) ) { Row( modifier = Modifier .padding(Dimens.dp12) .fillMaxWidth(), verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically ) { AsyncImage( model = country.flag?.png, contentDescription = "${country.name} Flag", modifier = Modifier .size(Dimens.dp56) .clip(RoundedCornerShape(Dimens.dp12)), contentScale = ContentScale.Crop, ) Spacer(modifier = Modifier.width(Dimens.dp16)) Column( modifier = Modifier.weight(1f) ) { Text( text = country.name ?: "Unknown", style = MaterialTheme.typography.titleMedium, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold, color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.primary, ) Text( text = country.capital ?: "No Capital", style = MaterialTheme.typography.bodySmall, color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.secondary, ) } Icon( painter = painterResource(R.drawable.ic_arrow_right), contentDescription = "Go to details", tint = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.surfaceVariant, modifier = Modifier.size(Dimens.dp24) ) } } } Full
