has anybody checked the experimental LazyHorizontalStaggeredGrid in androidx.compose.foundation? I'm getting the following exception which seems to indicate that I need to pass in a fixed height (and indeed that fixes it) but it doesn't sound right since its height should depend on the children.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: LazyHorizontalStaggeredGrid's height should be bound by parent.

my implementation looks like this:

LazyHorizontalStaggeredGrid(
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
    rows = StaggeredGridCells.Fixed(3)
) {
    items(showcaseFeatures) {
        FeatureChip(name = it)
    }
}

For now it works the same way as LazyGrid does, taking up the whole height (in horizontal orientation)
We are looking into adding a way to define fixed child height and size the grid and staggered grid dynamically

[Jorge Domínguez]

so I must either provide a fixed height or place the LazyHorizontalStaggeredGrid inside a parent with a fixed height?

[shikasd]

preferably yes 🙂

Lazy and Recycler view to work properly height or width need to be constrained/fixed otherwise lazy/recycling functionality won’t work. I think in compose they made it stricter.
