TouchDelegate in Compose
It has probably been asked before, at least on SO.
However, since compose evolve fairly fast I thought I'd ask if there's an API to do what Touch delegate does?
as in a modifier property. The alternative is ofc to delegate it my self, but wanted to check before I did that.

.size(0.dp).wrapContentSize(Alignment.Center, unbounded = true).size(actualSize) is one trick

[enighma]

awesome, thanks for the suggestion! 👍

You're welcome! I use it all the time when I have an IconButton or similar at the edge of a padded layout, so that the extra IconButton padding doesn't push the icon away from the edge

sorry to resurrect this thread but what’s an example of using this? my goal is to expand the clickable area around a Composable without pushing other content away (sounds exactly like your icon button use case)

i tried this out but in a basic usage an element in a row, leads to the composable rendering outside the bounds of the screen

You can do this in one direction only as well

[tad]

For example, .height(0.dp).wrapContentHeight(Alignment.CenterVertically, unbounded = true).height(actualHeight)

[zsperske]

do you need to assign a size/height/width to the composable before using this?

[tad]

at the end of the modifier chain, it needs to have a size, yeah

[zsperske]

sorry, I am not understanding. Is that actualHeight at the end the actual height of the composable or the height of the expanded touch area?
