I can use

maxLines = 5

on a

Text

to limit it to 5 lines, but how do I make it always take the space of 5 lines, even if there is less text? I'm looking for a

minLines = 5

, if there was one.

Also looking for an answer! I used a hack by appending X amount of \n to it so it always fills the space

I also ended up using a hack with

\n

. Would be nice to have a proper solution.

Not sure about

TextField

but in regular

Text

you can use lineHeight of your font to specify height of the text:

maxLines = NumberOfLines,
modifier = modifier.height( // for min lines
    with(LocalDensity.current) { MyTextStyle.lineHeight.toDp() * NumberOfLines }
)

It still feels like a hack but less than inserting

\n

at the end of string 😄

@Marcin Wisniowski You can define a certain height in that case.

Yes but I don't know what's the height, because it depends on the text style, which may not be fixed.
