Arrangement
object Arrangement
Used to specify the arrangement of the layout's children in layouts like Row or Column in the main axis direction (horizontal and vertical, respectively).
Below is an illustration of different horizontal arrangements in Rows: 
Different vertical arrangements in Columns:

Public properties |
|
|---|---|
Arrangement.Vertical |
Place children vertically such that they are as close as possible to the bottom of the main axis. |
Arrangement.HorizontalOrVertical |
Place children such that they are as close as possible to the middle of the main axis. |
Arrangement.Horizontal |
Place children horizontally such that they are as close as possible to the end of the main axis. |
Arrangement.HorizontalOrVertical |
Place children such that they are spaced evenly across the main axis, including free space before the first child and after the last child, but half the amount of space existing otherwise between two consecutive children. |
Arrangement.HorizontalOrVertical |
Place children such that they are spaced evenly across the main axis, without free space before the first child or after the last child. |
Arrangement.HorizontalOrVertical |
Place children such that they are spaced evenly across the main axis, including free space before the first child and after the last child. |
Arrangement.Horizontal |
Place children horizontally such that they are as close as possible to the beginning of the horizontal axis (left if the layout direction is LTR, right otherwise). |
Arrangement.Vertical |
Place children vertically such that they are as close as possible to the top of the main axis. |
Public functions
aligned
fun aligned(alignment: Alignment.Horizontal): Arrangement.Horizontal
Place children horizontally one next to the other and align the obtained group according to an alignment.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
alignment: Alignment.Horizontal |
The alignment of the children inside the parent. |
aligned
fun aligned(alignment: Alignment.Vertical): Arrangement.Vertical
Place children vertically one next to the other and align the obtained group according to an alignment.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
alignment: Alignment.Vertical |
The alignment of the children inside the parent. |
spacedBy
fun spacedBy(space: Dp): Arrangement.HorizontalOrVertical
Place children such that each two adjacent ones are spaced by a fixed space distance across the main axis. The spacing will be subtracted from the available space that the children can occupy. The space can be negative, in which case children will overlap.
To change alignment of the spaced children horizontally or vertically, use spacedBy overloads with alignment parameter.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
space: Dp |
The space between adjacent children. |
spacedBy
fun spacedBy(space: Dp, alignment: Alignment.Horizontal): Arrangement.Horizontal
Place children horizontally such that each two adjacent ones are spaced by a fixed space distance. The spacing will be subtracted from the available width that the children can occupy. An alignment can be specified to align the spaced children horizontally inside the parent, in case there is empty width remaining. The space can be negative, in which case children will overlap.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
space: Dp |
The space between adjacent children. |
alignment: Alignment.Horizontal |
The alignment of the spaced children inside the parent. |
spacedBy
fun spacedBy(space: Dp, alignment: Alignment.Vertical): Arrangement.Vertical
Place children vertically such that each two adjacent ones are spaced by a fixed space distance. The spacing will be subtracted from the available height that the children can occupy. An alignment can be specified to align the spaced children vertically inside the parent, in case there is empty height remaining. The space can be negative, in which case children will overlap.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
space: Dp |
The space between adjacent children. |
alignment: Alignment.Vertical |
The alignment of the spaced children inside the parent. |
