Hello all. I have a checkbox in a parent view, the parent view is padded on start by 16dp. The checkbox aligns with that padding. However the ripple on click of the checkbox is clipped on the left side. Struggling to figure out how to unbound the checkbox ripple. Any ideas?

Tried this with no luck:

modifier = Modifier
  .indication(interactionSource = MutableInteractionSource(), indication = rememberRipple(bounded = false))

Could you post a vid/gif of what exactly your problem is?

I guess giving the checkbox a padding is inevitable here

does the parent view need to have a padding?

[Billy Newman]

I mean I suppose I can remove the parent view padding. However its a vertical “list” of components that are all padded 16dp. Meaning I would need to add individual padding to each child element. Is this really the right way?

I’ve quickly implemented a checkbox to see what happens in my case. It seems that there’s something wrong with your paddings. In the vid you can see a Column with a padding, the checkbox is inside that column. Ripple effect works fine

Feel free to share the code, i’ll take a look 🙂

Thanks, that makes sense, going up my hierarchy to see if I can figure out where I went wrong.

I had the check box in a Row, checkbox, then label:

Row(Modifier.fillMaxWidth()) {
  Checkbox(
    checked = value,
    onCheckedChange = { value = it }
  )

  Text(text = "Checkbox")
}

.fillMaxWidth() fixed it

👍🏻 Glad you've found the issue 😊
