How to place a Text in center in latest update dev 09 version? There is no composable function Center(deprecated). Please help if anyone can...

You need to use a modifier:
Text(…, modifier = Modifier.wrapContentSize(Alignment.Center))

[alexzhukovich]

You can try

Box(gravity = ContentGravity.Center) {
    Text(...)
}

[alexzhukovich]

Yes, in case Text better to use modifier, but in case of multiple @Composable function you can use Box

still showing un top left

@alexzhukovich @Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] still showing top left of display

[ShreemanArjun]

i want to show it on the center of display as Center is deprecated in latest version.

[Leland Richardson [G]]

you probably also want Modifier.fillMaxWidth() or something similar so that it is centering across the full width that you are wanting

[alexzhukovich]

The following code is working for me:

Text(
    text = "abc",
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth() + Modifier.wrapContentSize(Alignment.Center)
)

[ShreemanArjun]

@alexzhukovich are you using latest dev09 version?

[alexzhukovich]

yes

[alexzhukovich]

Could you share your code?

hey i found the solution:
Text(modifier=Modifier. fillMaxSize() +Modifier. wrapContentSize(Alignment. Center))

[ShreemanArjun]

@alexzhukovich Thanks for help.

Just Modifier.fillMaxSize().wrapContentSize(Alignment.Center), it's cleaner 🙂

[Adam Powell]

but yes, the above is identical to the behavior of the old Center composable wrapper
