# compose

I want two composables in a space, one of fixed size and the other taking all the remaining space. I think I can do that, except I want the fixed size element to be at the bottom. How do I do that?
I have a nasty feeling it's simple, but I haven't been able to work it out: 😕

You can have two composables in a column, with the first composable having weight(1f) to take the available space and push the second one to the bottom. ex:

Column(
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()
    ) {
        Box(modifier = Modifier.weight(1f))

        Box(
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxWidth()
                .height(60.dp)
        )
    }

Ah, the "weight" thing. I saw that as a related issue, but I didn't (and still don't) understand how that works.

But, it does work. Thank you @Mihai Batista .

Weight or a custom Layout {}

I just recently realized how powerful is the Layout Composable. You can do so many things
