how can I make Column items same size?

[Peter]

I've tried this:

@Preview
@Composable
private fun Test() {
    Column(
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(16.dp),
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxSize()
            .background(Color.White),
    ) {
        Text(
            text = "short text",
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxWidth()
                .height(IntrinsicSize.Max)
                .background(Color.Red)
        )
        Text(
            text = "text that\nbreaks",
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxWidth()
                .height(IntrinsicSize.Max)
                .background(Color.Yellow)
        )
    }
}

I'm aware, that I could use "min height", are there any other options?

[Csaba Szugyiczki]

use the same weight for them

[Peter]

that expands them to fill the screen? I still want content to wrap.

[Peter]

I basically want red box to expand, to match yellow box size. But I don't want yellow height to change.

I guess I also needed height(IntrinsicSize.Min) on my Column

@Preview
@Composable
private fun Test() {
    Column(
        modifier = Modifier
            .height(IntrinsicSize.Min)
            .background(Color.White),
    ) {
        Text(
            text = "short text",
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxWidth()
                .weight(1f)
                .background(Color.Red)
        )
        Text(
            text = "text that\nbreaks",
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxWidth()
                .weight(1f)
                .background(Color.Yellow)
        )
    }
}

What you want to achieve would be much easier with a custom layout

[Csaba Szugyiczki]

you can measure the elements yourself and then drawing them with the height of the tallest item

[Peter]

Are you sure? Simpler than adding 3 modifiers? Can you give me a rough example please?

[Csaba Szugyiczki]

Ahh I just see that in the end it worked with weight and IntrinsicSize.Min height. Never mind then 🙂

[Peter]

no worries, thank you for your time
