In

Text

, is there a way to specify the minimum text width in terms of

em

? I have a composable that displays a number and an icon. I want the icon to not move when the amount of digits in the number changes. The maximum amount of digits is 3, so I would like to somehow specify the width of

Text

to be

3 em

.

Sorry i do not know if this is possible but you could use a Row and than add a Modifier.weight(1f) to the Text. The row should have a Modifier.preferredWidth(10.dp) or something like that (dependent on your font).

Yeah, I got it working through trial-and-error. But it would be more convenient and font-agnostic if I could specify something like

Modifier.preferredWidth(3.em.toDp())

(similarly to

10.dp.toPx()

).

Turned out that is possible:

with(DensityAmbient.current) { 3.em.toDp() }

@Denis Ismailaj, check this message https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1612638156434300?thread_ts=1612009094.039300&cid=CJLTWPH7S. It uses TextDelegate (that's an internal API, afaik). You need to set

Constraints

you need. It's another question how to convert ems to px
