How I can pass the click event from child composable to its parent?
e.g:

Card(
  Modifier.clickable { doSomething() }
){
   CheckBox(
     .....,
     onCheckedChange = {  } // leave it empty and pass its event to parent
   )
   Text("Some label")
}

pass in a lambda that is invoked from the onCheckedChange

I don't want to manage multiple clicks for the same purpose, more easier to disable clicks from children composable and delegate it to the parent, but how I can achieve that?

[Oleksandr Balan]

Could you check if setting onCheckedChange to null does the trick? According to doc this should work 🤔

If null, then this is passive and relies entirely on a higher-level component to control the "checked" state.

Can confirm changing it to null is the answer

[AmrJyniat]

Yes exactly what I want, thanks man!

I have a similar question to this, but my child composable is Chip which takes a non-null onClick arg. I have a FlowRow of Chip s and I only want the FlowRow to be clickable.

[Oleksandr Balan]

You could set your Chip to be enabled = false. But be aware, that it will change how chip is displayed. Maybe you will want to adjust chip disabled colors with

colors = ChipDefaults.chipColors(
    disabledBackgroundColor = ...,
    disabledContentColor = ...,
)

When I do that, I don’t get any click events on the FlowRow

[Oleksandr Balan]

Hmm, weird. You are using .clickable modifier on the FlowRow?

[Mark]

combinedClickable passing in non-null onClick and onLongClick

I suppose I could just stick a Box over the Chip and handle it that way, but I suspect there’s a proper way to do this
