Is there a way to create sticky headers in compose?

It’s coming really soon. Being worked on right now - https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/1427927

Care to explain what you mean by sticky headers?

[Kshitij Patil]

You can use LazyColumn 's item function to define common headers, list separators or footers, if that works for you.

@Mehdi Haghgoo this is what I was talking about

@Kshitij Patil Implementing separators and headres are not the issue, it's the sticky part I am trying to figure out, there were a bunch of libreries that handled that great in recycler views.

What if we keep currentLetter as a mutableState and update it after scrollable crossed certain index, header will be a the same item showing a letter but the letter will get updated accordingly.

Interesting, this just might work, I will ping after trying it. Tnx.

[Kshitij Patil]

Sure, let me know how it goes
