How can I prevent LazyVerticalGrid width from expanding? I want it to take min amount of width.

[Peter]

LazyVerticalGrid(
        columns = GridCells.Fixed(3),
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(17.dp),
    ) {
        items(items = items, key = { it }) { item ->
            Box {
                Key(icon = item.icon, modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.Center))
            }
        }
    }

I want it to behave like following. Is that possible?

How can it know what the “min amount of width” is if it’s lazy? By definition it doesn’t what all its children are

Which would bring us to the next question. Why do you need laziness for a grid like this? You most likely don't.

[Peter]

I don't need lazy, but I need "grid". Is there any other existing component already provided that I'm missing here?

[Stylianos Gakis]

No that is true, I am not aware of any such layouts out of the box.
You could either try to go with rows + columns and make it work that way.
You could also just write your own Layout {} composable which does the grid placement, it shouldn't be too complicated.

I bet if you google for it someone else might've already done a "grid but not lazy" implementation too

Grid but not lazy is just Row and Columns indeed 😅

[Stylianos Gakis]

Yeah I understand how it's not always that simple, since your rows/columns could then start being crooked if you can't force something like a fixed number of items in each row plus Modifier.weight(1f) on each and stuff like that.

You can use this; it's pretty neat.
