I have a similar issue found in this thread where I am inserting a
LazyVerticalGrid
inside a
Column
with a scroll state, so I now know that I can't nest composables scrolling in the same direction. However, I'm only using
LazyVerticalGrid
since the cells can be adaptive, and I don't need its scroll functionality. Is there a way to create a composable that can replicate `LazyVerticalGrid`'s adaptive functionality and removing the scrolling?

What do you mean by "adaptive"? I think you can easily create a grid layout by using multiple `Row`s and setting
Modifier.weight(1f)
on each cell.

Yea, the only interesting part of lazy lists’ functionality is related to scrolling. The non-lazy versions of those layouts are more trivial.

Given a dp size, I think
LazyVerticalGrid
can determine how many columns and rows to create for a list of composables while meeting that minimum dp size, and I wanted to replicate that. I honestly forgot that I can create custom layouts, so I ended up going that route today. My solution is not perfect, but I'll keep working on it and am open to feedback.
