Is there a way to lock DrawerState open in compose?

There's a confirmStateChange on a state callback that lets you to veto the change

Thanks!

Also take a look at the gesturesEnabled and it's documentation 🙂

[Shawn Tucker]

I tried

val drawerState = rememberDrawerState(
    initialValue = DrawerValue.Open,
    confirmStateChange = { false }
)

and

drawerGesturesEnabled = false

And the drawer is still closing when I touch outside of it

[matvei]

I see. Please, file a bug

Before I file it.
This is my minimal code example that fails:

val drawerState = rememberDrawerState(
    initialValue = DrawerValue.Open,
    confirmStateChange = { false }
)

val scaffoldState = rememberScaffoldState(
    drawerState = drawerState
)

Scaffold(
    scaffoldState = scaffoldState,
    bottomBar = {  },
    drawerGesturesEnabled = false,
    drawerScrimColor = Color.Black,
    drawerContent = {  },
    content = { },
)

Do you see anything that I might have done wrong that can cause this issue?

[matvei]

No, you are doing all correctly, it's the problem that we either
1. Should either respect confirmStateChange/gesuturesEnabled when user clicks the scrim
2. do not provide the right api (like forceState: DrawerState or closeOnScrimClick) to achieve this

you can star this, that callback has been broken for a long time
