I am using

ModalBottomSheetLayout

and

BottomSheetNavigator

and I’d like my bottom sheets to open into

Expanded

state. The

HalfExpanded

state doesn’t really suit my use case as there is often a lot of content in the sheet, and/or the keyboard is up. But, curiously,

ModalBottomSheetState.expand()

is

internal

and it’s not obvious to me how I could manipulate

SwipeableState.anchors

. Any advice? Thanks!

This is because whether the sheet should be half-expanded or expanded is just an implementation detail right now; the only intention you can express is to show the sheet. Right now it's not really possible to do this but it will be possible to configure your

ModalBottomSheetLayout

soon (CL: https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/1891098, just need to update a small thing). RE:

BottomSheetNavigator

- you shouldn't be using a

ModalBottomSheetState

explicitly if you are using Accompanist Nav Material, prefer using

rememberBottomSheetNavigator

which sets this up for you. By holding a

ModalBottomSheetState

on your own, you are risking

BottomSheetNavigator

getting out of sync if you control it manually - the

BottomSheetNavigator

constructor that takes the sheet state will be made internal soon too to avoid this. Once we merge the CL upstream in Material, I'll add an API for this asap in Accompanist. (Hopefully something like end of next week or the week after)

Thanks Jossi. I'll keep an eye out for your updates. Thanks for the work on bottom sheets!
