I am replacing ScrollableColumn (which is now deprecated) with
Column(modifier = Modifier.verticalScroll(rememberScrollState())
but Column doesn’t have the contentPadding parameter, so when using Scaffold with a BottomBar , the bottom part of the column gets covered by the bottombar.
Any solution?

how about adding a padding on the root content of column?

[Andrey Kulikov]

just add

.padding(contentPadding)

after verticalScroll modifier

@Andrey Kulikov thanks, it works!

@Andrey Kulikov one issue I am still finding, is that the screen scrolls only if I touch on the area with text. If I touch on an area with no text, it doesn’t scroll. Is this normal?

[Andrey Kulikov]

try to put Modifier.fillMaxWidth() on Column or Text itself

[Andrey Kulikov]

both Column and ScrollableColumn wraps the content by default. so the text is small and the same width is the width of the column and scrollable area

sorry to hijack this but what’s the difference between ScrollableColumn and Column(modifier = Modifier.verticalScroll(...)) ?

[Daniele B]

@Andrey Kulikov great, it works!

[Daniele B]

@Cyril Find ScrollableColumn is deprecated

[Andrey Kulikov]

there is no difference: https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/[…]/Scroll.kt;l=276;drc=d42e1071b2cd4ea65080149b8b478c215d7fc956

oh ok that’s a good reason 😆

@Andrey Kulikov I have seen that contentPadding is still a parameter of LazyColumn. Is it also going to be removed from there or is there a meaningful reason to keep it there?

[Andrey Kulikov]

no, it has to be there. when you add scrolling as a modifier you can add padding before or after scrolling modifier to configure how it is applied. when you have a component like LazyColumn or ScrollableColumn you can’t add a modifier after the inner modifiers applied as part of the component internal logic. so they have to have such parameter
