Prev we used Modifier.align(SomeAlignment), I guess it is changed. how to align composable , specifically in Box? [SOLVED]

[Denis]

{horizontal,vertical}{Alignment,Arrangement} parameters

[Vivek Sharma]

what I didnt get you

https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/foundation/layout/package-summary#column

don't verticalArrangement, horizontalAlignment parameters do what you want?

[Vivek Sharma]

I dont want to align whole content, Box have params of contentAlignment, I want to align composable inside box, like I did in my prev project like Modifier.align()

[Vivek Sharma]

why only columns/rows have these params, if I want to align text or something 😅

[Vivek Sharma]

oh sorry textAlign is there, but I was tryingn something else, maybe I will try that thanks for the time

[Denis]

I've just tried Modifier.align in alpha12 and it works well. What is the problem you're experiencing?

@Preview
@Composable
fun FPreview() {
    Box(Modifier.size(100.dp)) {
        Text("Hi, Vivek!", Modifier.align(Alignment.BottomCenter))
    }
}

[Vivek Sharma]

oh, I can not use Modifier.align(), I even checked if I am not importing wrong Modifier interface

[Denis]

do you use it inside Box? 'cause it's only available within BoxScope

[Vivek Sharma]

oh sorry, I was not getting auto complete and I was getting some error,

[Vivek Sharma]

I got it now, my bad, thanks for the time
