Heya! I’m having trouble wrapping my head around centering a view vertically in dev06. It looks like this and my code is like this…

Row {
        // ...
        Container(width = 48.dp, height = 48.dp) {
            DrawVector(profilePlaceholderImage)
        }
        Spacer(modifier = LayoutPadding(start = 16.dp))
        Column {
          //  ...
          drawNameAndStars()
        }
// This line of code isn't working as expected 
        Container(width = 14.dp, height = 14.dp, modifier = LayoutFlexible(1f) + LayoutAlign.CenterRight) {
            DrawVector(arrowVector)
        }
    }

LayoutGravity.Center is what you needed. I think the API is a bit confusing now

Thanks Minghao, I’ll give it a try

Looks like discoverability of Modifiers is about to change.

Also, have you seen the ListItem composable? I believe it gives you exactly this layout, you don't need to write it yourself.
