# compose

any reason why I can’t find the weight Modifier? just goes unresolved, no hint to import or anything, using Compose 1.0.5

[Zoltan Demant]

Its only available inside the content block for Column/Row by way of their scopes.

The scope provides this function

@Stable
fun Modifier.weight(
    /*@FloatRange(from = 0.0, fromInclusive = false)*/
    weight: Float,
    fill: Boolean = true
): Modifier

[oday]

yea like here

Column(modifier = Modifier.weight(1f)) {
            Text(text = "Hello")
            Text(text = name)
        }

right?

following this tutorial, last block of this section https://developer.android.com/codelabs/jetpack-compose-basics?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fde[…]Fdeveloper.android.com%2Fcodelabs%2Fjetpack-compose-basics

that’s where i’m not able to resolve it

Column() {
            Text(text = "Hello", Modifier.weight(1f))
            Text(text = name, Modifier.weight(1f))
        }

Like this

No, inside the { } of a Column. Unless your Column is in another Column (or Row)

[oday]

then the tutorial is outdated

[maciejciemiega]

In the tutorial that Column that uses weight modifier is in a Row, so everything is fine

[oday]

no, I’m blind, they placed the whole thing in a Row and then accessed weight

[oday]

yea just like in normal views
