Hi, how can I set a Column element to have a maximum width as a fraction ? (like fillMaxWidth() but I only want to limit the maximum size)

[Csaba Szugyiczki]

Add a Row and inside the Row you can have a Modifier.weight(0.5f) where you can specify the fraction of the width you want your Composable to take

[Csaba Szugyiczki]

the Row might need a Modifier.fillMaxWidth() to work properly

Thanks !

Modifier.fillMaxWidth() itself has a fraction argument, so you can use that directly on your element, no need to wrap it in a Row

[Ayfri]

It's not what I want, as I just want to limit the maximum width, not the minimal width

oh, i see

This might be a clue using a custom layout modifier: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1650424264735139?thread_ts=1650423127.272079&channel=CJLTWPH7S&message_ts=1650424264.735139
