How to show only the fitting items in a row?
do we have any modifiers for this. or should i write a custom layout for this.

If you want to not place some of the items, you’ll have to use a custom layout.

But if you are trying to make the items reflow to a second row in the Row, you can use the FlowRow from Accompanist

@Chris Sinco [G] if i use FlowRow , is there any way can we restrict the number of rows to 1? if yes, would that be a good (easier? 😬 ) approach? [am just lazy to create a custom layout 😬]

[Chris Sinco [G]]

I don’t think you can restrict the # of rows in FlowRow as it’s built to reflow 🙂

Understood, custom layout then 🏃

In the above example, are the items you are trying to fit a fixed size?

[theapache64]

nope. it could be any composable, (text, img, etc)

[Chris Sinco [G]]

I see. I’m not sure I understand the requirements well enough. If the items aren’t a fixed size, how do you determine what fits and doesn’t? Do you know the min/max size of each one?

@Chris Sinco [G] that i need to figure out 😄
