👋 Is there a way to measure a child before placing it and then fill the screen with the available amount of those children? Currently I'm creating a

Layout

for measurement of the child and then another

Layout

that will place X amount of those children based on screen height. The problem I ran into was each child I'm placing needs to be unique/not being currently laid out for the system to not give me

"Place was called on a node which was placed already"

.

I think

SubcomposeLayout

might be your best bet here. You basically described how the lazy lists work.

I thought about a

SubcomposeLayout

. Was sure that I would run into the same issue of not being able to place the same placeable. But now that I'm looking at it more calling

subcompose

would allow me to create a new placeable to place which should solve that. I'll try that next! Zach to the rescue again. 🦸

yep exactly, you can just call

subcompose

multiple times with the same content function

Sweet. That composable is so powerful

Before even considering performance, those will do different things. The former will not show the content until the second frame, which will most likely look noticeably bad.

You don't really notice it, but yes you're right it would have to go through re-composition to show. Subcomposelayout seems to do the trick beautifully 🙂

There can be other negative effects of skipping that first frame (e.g. it breaks the IDE preview)
