How to center a text?
Copy code
Column(Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
   Text("Dashboard will be here", Modifier.wrapContentSize(Alignment.Center))
}
is not working
Copy code
Column(
    Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
    verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center,
    horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
)
worked for me. Let me know if there's any better way

You have to say - Column(Modifier.fillMaxWidth()) {

@Chethan I thought 
fillMaxSize()
is a combination of both (width and height)

Box
instead of Column

Because column only work with horizontal alignament
Column and Row only expand to it's "negative" axis
Someone explained it better days ago, but can't find the answer now

@alorma yup.
Copy code
Box(
    Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
    alignment = Alignment.Center
)
works perfect. Thanks!
