How do I manually change the

sheetpeekHeight

of a

BottomSheetScaffold

composable? I tried passing a state variable and modifying it but it has no effect

Hi again : what is a simple way to center a component ? Either horizontally/vertically/in both directions ? I can't manage to handle centering carefully...

Has anyone used Crossfade with navigation compose? I want Crossfade to be shown only once and in later cases like

onResume

, the screen should be shown directly. How can I achieve this?

Getting this secret error message on compose 1.0.0-alpha07, any suggestions?

org.jetbrains.kotlin.diagnostics.SimpleDiagnostic@676ce3fe (error: could not render message)

Hello, I’ve been playing around with lazy column and scroll positions. I am able to get first visible item & it’s offset … but nothing about last visible item 🤔 adding scrollable modifier throws an exception with nested scrolling not allowed 😅 any ideas how to get last visible item & offset ? Or maybe its possible to calculate by hand at least? I need to draw some shadows for toolbar and bottom bar based on scrolling

Hi, how can I actually convert a size in Dp to a size in Px in a composable ? I mean :

@Composable
MyComposable(size: Dp) {
// how to get size in px ?
}

Because it seems that

withDensity

is not available in the newest API.

Are there no standard function to receive files from the resources folder? I have some json files included, but I can only find functions for imageassets, not for text.

Hello! Should we avoid using

ViewModel

in brand new Android projects or projects that we are able to refactor this part? I'm asking this because Compose seems to be growing over the Android Environment and I saw some projects using

ViewModel

and other ignoring it.

Hey. Not sure if this is bug or it is working as intended so I decided to post it here. So my case is that I'm using

LazyRowFor

with elements whose width is equal to window width. And I'm trying to get currently visible item on the screen by using

rememberLazyListState()

with

firstVisibleItemIndex

. The problem is that whenever I reach the end of the list, this index is not updated. So the second to last item is fully hidden and only the last one is visible, but it still indicates second to last item. I've worked around it by adding 1 dp to the items width but it doesn't seem right. Also I've got question: is it possible in this case to make items adjust their position after each fling to the start of the screen? For example 3rd item is visible on the screen, I swipe from right to left and then 4th item enters from right side and gets snapped to the start of the screen, so it fill whole screen width.

Hi again, in this Composable (I am calling it with MyComposable(Modifier.size(100.dp) for example)

@Composable
fun MyComposable(modifier: Mofifier) {
    Column(modifier = modifier.background(backgroundColor)) {
        (0 until 8).forEach { row ->
            val color = if (row%2 == 0) whiteCellColor else blackCellColor
            Row(modifier = Modifier.size(10.dp).background(color)) { // Here how to get a ration of 0.111 of the Composable size rather than a fixed 10dp Size ? 

            }
        }
    }
}

How can make the

size(10.dp)

(see the comment) be a ratio of the parent instead ?

Can anybody tell me what's wrong with the following component ? It should be made of two colors : a purple background and a brown line at top. Instead, all I can see is a purple square.

@Composable
fun SimpleZone(modifier: Modifier) {
    val backgroundColor = Color(0xCAD63B60) // purple
    val cellColor = Color(0xFFFFCE9E) // brown
    
    Column(modifier = modifier.background(backgroundColor)) {
        Row(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxHeight(0.1f).background(cellColor)) {

        }
    }
}

@Preview
@Composable
fun SimpleZonePreview() {
    SimpleZone(modifier = Modifier.size(100.dp))
}

Trying to use

.preferredHeight(IntrinsicSize.Min)

. Getting the following error if a Composable using it is inside ScrollableColumn:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Intrinsic measurements are not currently supported by SubcomposeLayout

Any idea what this is and how to get around this? I’m currently on alpha07.

Hi again, this is a composable I am building. Is it possible to make the coordinates' font size adapt to the size of their different "boxes" ? I mean, can I make the font size be a ratio of the available space for a given letter text ? (I've put some comments in order to locate the issue)

Anyone ever run into trouble with

AndroidView

and/or

WebView

? I have a composable that is a

Column

with a few

Text

and

Image

Composables, and then an

AndroidView

which loads a

WebView

… When it loads, the AndroidView/WebView display fine (and in the proper spot on the screen), but the other Text and Image composables don’t show up at all. Anyone run into this issue? If I comment out the AndroidView, then the Text and Image composables show up. Also, if I use an AndroidView, but just load it with a generic

View

, then the Text and Image composables also show up. So it seems to be something specific to WebView? More strange, if I DO NOT use androidx.webkit for the WebView, then if I wait a while after the screen loads up (maybe 20 or 30 seconds?) and then scroll around in the webview, the content then all of a sudden pops into place

I want to back my Compose app's viewmodel with Room and I'm trying to use Room+Kotlin codelab, which seems to have been changed a bit since it was first written. In my ViewModel,

asLiveData()

is not understood.

Unresolved reference

asLiveData

class CostViewModel(private val repository: CostRepository): ViewModel() {

    val costs : LiveData<List<Cost>> = repository.costs.asLiveData()

    fun addCost(vararg cost: Cost) = viewModelScope.launch{
        repository.addCost(*cost)
    }
}


class CostViewModelFactory(private val repository: CostRepository) : ViewModelProvider.Factory {
    override fun <T : ViewModel> create(modelClass: Class<T>): T {
        if (modelClass.isAssignableFrom(CostViewModel::class.java)) {
            @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
            return CostViewModel(repository) as T
        }
        throw IllegalArgumentException("Unknown ViewModel class")
    }
}

My Repo:

import kotlinx.coroutines.flow.Flow

class CostRepository(private val costDao: CostDao){
    val costs: Flow<List<Cost>> = costDao.getCosts()


    suspend fun addCost(vararg cost: Cost){
        costDao.addCost(*cost)
    }

    suspend fun deleteCosts(vararg cost: Cost){
        costDao.deleteCost(*cost)
    }
}

My Dao:

@Dao
interface CostDao {
    @Query("SELECT * FROM cost")
    fun getCosts(): Flow<List<Cost>>

    @Insert()
    suspend fun addCost(vararg cost: Cost)

    @Delete()
    fun deleteCost(vararg cost: Cost)
}

Hello there, i am unable to download "kotlin-complier-embedable-$vers-dev-withExperimental.." Compose Library in android studio due to network unstablity causing read timeout, so I have download it with chrome, but where should I locate it Please help

Has anybody stumbled into this ->java.lang.IllegalStateException: Missed recording an endGroup, the problem is that the exception happens randomly, and it's hard to debug, what does it mean? thanks a lot

Hi guys, any idea how to manage accessibility on Compose, like

setContentDescription

?

Hi ! Is there a simple way to convert size (is given as dp) to sp unit ?

val cellsSize = with(DensityAmbient.current) {
   (size.toIntPx() * 0.1111) // Can I convert this result (which is px in Int) into an Sp unit, for a text ?
}

I've been searching at https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/unit/package-summary. But did not find which one could be useful.

hi everybody, how do you guys show and hide a progress indicator while some data is being loaded?

I have a Column with 8dp vertical padding, and two text children. One text has a line height of 24sp, and the other 16sp. 8+24+16+8=56, yet the total height of the container is just under 60dp. Where exactly does the extra ~4dp come from?

Hi ! Is there an equivalent of DrawVector in compose 1.0.0-alpha06 ?

Can sb. tell me the differenence between:

Jetpack Compose

vs

JetBrains Compose Android/JVM/Multiplatform

A short poll. Which name is better for annotated string builder? • annotatedString(lambda) vs • buildAnnotatedString(lambda)

Have I found a defect with

AndroidView

when used with a

WebView

, or am I doing something wrong? I have the following Composables that setup a screen containing a Column with some images and text, and then an AndroidView with a WebView. When the screen is composed, None of the top composables seem to get rendered, including the root level Surface that draws the entire screen with a dark background color (I have darkmode enabled). The ONLY thing that gets rendered is the AndroidView/WebView … Oddly enough, if I scroll in the WebView a little bit, all of a sudden the top views and Surface are rendered and magically appear ( have checked, nothing is recomposed, they just all of a sudden get rendered). Have I done something wrong, or is this a defect? Here are my composables:

@Composable
fun PostContent(post: Post, postContent: String) {
   Column {
        PostImage(url = post.imageUrl)
        Column(modifier = Modifier.padding(horizontal = 16.dp)) {
            Spacer(modifier = Modifier.height(8.dp))
            Providers(AmbientContentAlpha provides ContentAlpha.high) {
                Text(
                    text = post.title,

Hi ! Is there a way to get available size somewhere in the Composable tree ? (See the comment) Because in a Composable I made, I could not rely on a Modifier, I really needed to get the size as a parameter.

@Composable
fun GameScreen(topLevelNavController: NavController) {
    GameScreenTheme {
        Scaffold(
            topBar = {
                TopAppBar(
                    title = {
                        Text(
                            stringResource(id = R.string.game_page),
                        )
                    },
                    navigationIcon = {
                        IconButton(onClick = {
                            topLevelNavController.popBackStack()
                        }) {
                            Icon(Icons.Filled.ArrowBack)
                        }
                    }
                )
            },
        ) {
            // Is there a way to get available width and height ?
        }
    }
}

Is there a memory leak in remember function? Because in the following code finalize is never called? Or did i something wrong?

data class Test(val pos: Int) {
    protected fun finalize() {
        log("Test finalized: $pos")
    }
}
class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            var pos by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
            Box(Modifier.fillMaxSize().clickable { pos++ }) {
                val test = remember(pos) { Test(pos) }
                Text("${test.pos}")
                onCommit {
                    log("Test: $pos commited")

Hi guys! One questions relating compose navigation. Is there a special way to navigate to a nested

navigation

defined in the

NavHost

? I am currently getting an error stating the the NavDeepLink cannot be found when navigating from a

composable

Hey guys! Im new to Android, and Jetpack Compose for that matter, and I was wondering if I can use multiple activities with Jetpack compose, because what I’ve seen from the Compose Examples, most of the applications (if not all of them) have a single main activity, and they handle navigation with NavHosts and NavControllers. If it is possible though to use multiple Activities, when should I make a new Activity? (Also should fragments be used with Jetpack compose?)
