I’m curious to hear about some use cases: do you all use `LocalConfiguration.current.screenWidthDp`/`screenHeightDp` in your projects? And if so, for what sort of purposes?

Didn't know it existed. I am taking those from my root composable.onSizeChanged. It is setup to fillMaxSize

Didn't know it existed either lol. I've seen some projects im on where we have a root BoxWithConstraints though for figuring out width. 😱 wish there was a doc I could point to that was like "please dont do this"

I was using before the WindowSizeClass in

androidx.compose.material3.windowsizeclass

but stop using it, didn’t quite like the API design. It is not multiplatform either, that I remember.

For a round screen, understanding the circle size so can position just enough away from the edge to not get clipped on the sides.

We were using it for some offset calculations before but soon realised issues with

systembarsPadding/

navigationBarsPadding

and issues with comparing to pixels, then stopped using it. The main use case was getting parent size while in a bottom panel.

We use it to get a WindowSizeClass instance inside our @Previews with this

@Composable
fun WindowSizeClass.Companion.calculateForPreview(): WindowSizeClass {
  val configuration = LocalConfiguration.current
  return calculateFromSize(DpSize(configuration.screenWidthDp.dp, configuration.screenHeightDp.dp))
}

@Pablichjenkov you didn’t like the

windowsizeclass

API, or the

LocalConfiguration.current

API?

The WindowSizeClass I feel like it is missing information about aspect ratio which is important sometimes.
