How do you add inner padding in compose? padding modifier only seems to add margin

[sindrenm]

Do you have a concrete example? If your case is that you have a background or border or something for your composable and then want some padding inside of that, then remember that modifier order matters.

Modifier
  .padding(8.dp)
  .background(Color.White)

is different from

Modifier
  .background(Color.White)
  .padding(8.dp)

The latter might be what you're looking for? simple smile
