How to center a text?

Column(Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
   Text("Dashboard will be here", Modifier.wrapContentSize(Alignment.Center))
}

is not working

[Kshitij Patil]

Column(
    Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
    verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center,
    horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
)

worked for me. Let me know if there's any better way

[Chethan]

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

[Kshitij Patil]

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

[alorma]

Use Box instead of Column

[Chethan]

Even I thought the same , but I am wonder why it doesn’t work

[alorma]

Because column only work with horizontal alignament

[alorma]

Column and Row only expand to it's "negative" axis

[alorma]

Someone explained it better days ago, but can't find the answer now

[Kshitij Patil]

@alorma yup.

Box(
    Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
    alignment = Alignment.Center
)

works perfect. Thanks!
