Hi! How do I make a Box height 2/3 of the parent box intrinsic height?

[cb]

Modifier.fillMaxHeight(2 / 3f), providing the Box has a constrained height.

[Tin Tran]

the parent box has no size constrain unfortunately

The layout I want looks something like this

[Tin Tran]

currently i have Column overlapping the white Box underneath

[Tin Tran]

Box {
  Box {} <- white box
  Column {} <- content
}

[Tin Tran]

I got it! For anyone looking for the solution to this you could do something like this

Box(Modifier.fillMaxHeight(IntrinsicSize.Min)) {
  Box {Modifier.fillMaxHeight(.85f)}
  Column {} <- content
}

But that's not 2/3 🙂

yeah it’s more like 4/5 lol

I keep hearing "intrinsic" height/width. Noob here. What is intrinsic?

You can take a look at this. It’s explained quite well here
