Hey, I'm having some trouble finding a way to control the selection state of an item in a LazyColumn. Anyone knows how to do this? What I'm trying to achieve is getting to the selected state on a click (not a long click).

You can maintain a selected: Boolean state per item that updates upon onClick of a Button or Modifier.clickable. If you don't allow multi selection, then you also need to keep some state at the level of the whole list itself.

@Tash thank you but my question is more about how to make the item adhere to that state. I guess I could always just change the background color manually but that seems wrong.

Have you checked out the official Compose sample apps?
Something like this, for example, might help figure out your use case:

Thank you. I was looking for the selectable modifier which I found your link.

Turns out I was actually looking for combinedClickable (the variant where you can define the interactionSource and indication).
