Does the LazyItemScope work like a Column? It seems so. Wondering if I need to wrap content of item in a Column or call item{} multiple times, since it says

Adds a single item to the scope.

in the doc.

LazyColumn {
   item { Text("Title") }
   item { Header() }
   items(items) { ... }
}
// or
LazyColumn {
   item {
      Text("Title)
      Header()
   } 
   items { ... } 
}

Ok seems I’m not able to align the items, so I probably have to wrap the components in a Column

there is a horizontalAlignment alignment on LazyColumn. but it will be applied for all the items. if you define your title and the header with two separate item calls it will work a bit more efficient as once you will scroll up so the header is visible it will only need to create a Header for displaying, not both title and header. but you can put both of them in the same item, it also works

Ahhh, it makes sense having multiple item{} is actually more efficient than a single one. For some reason I thought that would be less performant.
Thanks!
For centering a single item though, not sure if I need to wrap it in a Column now to be able to align it. I’m just trying to center an inline CircularProgressIndicator

[allan.conda]

item {
    Column(Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
        CircularProgressIndicator(modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.CenterHorizontally))
    }
}

I guess a Box would work as well
