What's the best way to display different items in LazyColum? Let's say, I have Item1 and Item2, I want to display one Item2 after every 5 items of Item1.

My initial thought, is to make them inherit a single interface and handle them based on index. But is there any other way?

LazyColumn {
   repeat(10) {
      repeat(4) { 
          item { Item2() } 
      }
      item { Item1() }
   }
}

?

@mcpiroman I think that might do it, I haven't thought of using the item block. Thanks

I would used sealed class to describe the items, like

sealed class ItemViewObject {
object Item1: ItemViewObject()
object Item2: ItemViewObject()
}

After that, passing a List<ItemViewObjec> to LazyColumn, where:

LazyColumn {
items.forEach{
    when(it) {
      is Item1 -> item { /** draw item-1 */ }
      is Item2 -> item { /** draw item-2 */ }
    }
}
