androidx.compose.foundation.layout

@Composable
fun Box(modifier: Modifier): Unit

A box with no content that can participate in layout, drawing, pointer input due to the modifier applied to it.

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxSize
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.padding
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.size
import androidx.compose.ui.Alignment
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

Box {
    Box(Modifier.fillMaxSize().background(Color.Cyan))
    Box(
        Modifier.matchParentSize().padding(top = 20.dp, bottom = 20.dp).background(Color.Yellow)
    )
    Box(Modifier.matchParentSize().padding(40.dp).background(Color.Magenta))
    Box(Modifier.align(Alignment.Center).size(300.dp, 300.dp).background(Color.Green))
    Box(Modifier.align(Alignment.TopStart).size(150.dp, 150.dp).background(Color.Red))
    Box(Modifier.align(Alignment.BottomEnd).size(150.dp, 150.dp).background(Color.Blue))
}

@Composable
inline fun Box(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    contentAlignment: Alignment = Alignment.TopStart,
    propagateMinConstraints: Boolean = false,
    content: @Composable BoxScope.() -> Unit
): Unit

A layout composable with content. The Box will size itself to fit the content, subject to the incoming constraints. When children are smaller than the parent, by default they will be positioned inside the Box according to the contentAlignment. For individually specifying the alignments of the children layouts, use the BoxScope.align modifier. By default, the content will be measured without the Box's incoming min constraints, unless propagateMinConstraints is true. As an example, setting propagateMinConstraints to true can be useful when the Box has content on which modifiers cannot be specified directly and setting a min size on the content of the Box is needed. If propagateMinConstraints is set to true, the min size set on the Box will also be applied to the content, whereas otherwise the min size will only apply to the Box. When the content has more than one layout child the layout children will be stacked one on top of the other (positioned as explained above) in the composition order.

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxSize
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.padding
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.size
import androidx.compose.ui.Alignment
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

Box {
    Box(Modifier.fillMaxSize().background(Color.Cyan))
    Box(
        Modifier.matchParentSize().padding(top = 20.dp, bottom = 20.dp).background(Color.Yellow)
    )
    Box(Modifier.matchParentSize().padding(40.dp).background(Color.Magenta))
    Box(Modifier.align(Alignment.Center).size(300.dp, 300.dp).background(Color.Green))
    Box(Modifier.align(Alignment.TopStart).size(150.dp, 150.dp).background(Color.Red))
    Box(Modifier.align(Alignment.BottomEnd).size(150.dp, 150.dp).background(Color.Blue))
}

@Composable
@UiComposable
fun BoxWithConstraints(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    contentAlignment: Alignment = Alignment.TopStart,
    propagateMinConstraints: Boolean = false,
    content: @Composable @UiComposable BoxWithConstraintsScope.() -> Unit
): Unit

A composable that defines its own content according to the available space, based on the incoming constraints or the current LayoutDirection. Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.BoxWithConstraints
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Column
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.size
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

BoxWithConstraints {
    val rectangleHeight = 100.dp
    if (maxHeight < rectangleHeight * 2) {
        Box(Modifier.size(50.dp, rectangleHeight).background(Color.Blue))
    } else {
        Column {
            Box(Modifier.size(50.dp, rectangleHeight).background(Color.Blue))
            Box(Modifier.size(50.dp, rectangleHeight).background(Color.Gray))
        }
    }
}

The composable will compose the given children, and will position the resulting layout elements in a parent layout which behaves similar to a Box. The layout will size itself to fit the content, subject to the incoming constraints. When children are smaller than the parent, by default they will be positioned inside the layout according to the contentAlignment. For individually specifying the alignments of the children layouts, use the BoxScope.align modifier. By default, the content will be measured without the Box's incoming min constraints, unless propagateMinConstraints is true. As an example, setting propagateMinConstraints to true can be useful when the BoxWithConstraints has content on which modifiers cannot be specified directly and setting a min size on the content of the BoxWithConstraints is needed. If propagateMinConstraints is set to true, the min size set on the BoxWithConstraints will also be applied to the content, whereas otherwise the min size will only apply to the BoxWithConstraints. When the content has more than one layout child the layout children will be stacked one on top of the other (positioned as explained above) in the composition order.

@Composable
inline fun Column(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    verticalArrangement: Arrangement.Vertical = Arrangement.Top,
    horizontalAlignment: Alignment.Horizontal = Alignment.Start,
    content: @Composable ColumnScope.() -> Unit
): Unit

A layout composable that places its children in a vertical sequence. For a layout composable that places its children in a horizontal sequence, see Row. Note that by default items do not scroll; see Modifier.verticalScroll to add this behavior. For a vertically scrollable list that only composes and lays out the currently visible items see LazyColumn.

The Column layout is able to assign children heights according to their weights provided using the ColumnScope.weight modifier. If a child is not provided a weight, it will be asked for its preferred height before the sizes of the children with weights are calculated proportionally to their weight based on the remaining available space. Note that if the Column is vertically scrollable or part of a vertically scrollable container, any provided weights will be disregarded as the remaining available space will be infinite.

When none of its children have weights, a Column will be as small as possible to fit its children one on top of the other. In order to change the height of the Column, use the Modifier.height modifiers; e.g. to make it fill the available height Modifier.fillMaxHeight can be used. If at least one child of a Column has a weight, the Column will fill the available height, so there is no need for Modifier.fillMaxHeight. However, if Column's size should be limited, the Modifier.height or Modifier.size layout modifiers should be applied.

When the size of the Column is larger than the sum of its children sizes, a verticalArrangement can be specified to define the positioning of the children inside the Column. See Arrangement for available positioning behaviors; a custom arrangement can also be defined using the constructor of Arrangement. Below is an illustration of different vertical arrangements:

import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.size
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.width
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

Column {
    // The child with no weight will have the specified size.
    Box(Modifier.size(40.dp, 80.dp).background(Color.Magenta))
    // Has weight, the child will occupy half of the remaining height.
    Box(Modifier.width(40.dp).weight(1f).background(Color.Yellow))
    // Has weight and does not fill, the child will occupy at most half of the remaining height.
    // Therefore it will occupy 80.dp (its preferred height) if the assigned height is larger.
    Box(Modifier.size(40.dp, 80.dp).weight(1f, fill = false).background(Color.Green))
}

ContextualFlowColumn is a specialized version of the FlowColumn layout. It is designed to enable users to make contextual decisions during the construction of FlowColumn layouts.

This component is particularly advantageous when dealing with a large collection of items, allowing for efficient management and display. Unlike traditional FlowColumn that composes all items regardless of their visibility, ContextualFlowColumn smartly limits composition to only those items that are visible within its constraints, such as maxLines or maxWidth. This approach ensures optimal performance and resource utilization by composing fewer items than the total number available, based on the current context and display parameters.

While maintaining the core functionality of the standard FlowColumn, ContextualFlowColumn operates on an index-based system and composes items sequentially, one after another. This approach provides a perfect way to make contextual decisions and can be an easier way to handle problems such as dynamic see more buttons such as (N+ buttons).

FlowColumn is a layout that fills items from top to bottom, and when it runs out of space on the bottom, moves to the next "column" or "line" on the right or left based on ltr or rtl layouts, and then continues filling items from top to bottom.

It supports ltr in LTR layouts, by placing the first column to the left, and then moving to the right It supports rtl in RTL layouts, by placing the first column to the right, and then moving to the left

When a Modifier ColumnScope.weight is provided, it scales the item based on the number items that fall on the column it was placed in.

FlowRow is a layout that fills items from left to right (ltr) in LTR layouts or right to left (rtl) in RTL layouts and when it runs out of space, moves to the next "row" or "line" positioned on the bottom, and then continues filling items until the items run out.

Example:

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Arrangement
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.FlowRow
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxWidth

import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontWeight
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.sp

Text(
    modifier =
        Modifier.fillMaxWidth(1f).padding(20.dp).wrapContentHeight(align = Alignment.Top),
    text = "Flow Row with weights",
    fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold
)

FlowRow(
    Modifier.fillMaxWidth(1f).padding(20.dp).wrapContentHeight(align = Alignment.Top),
    horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(10.dp),
    verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(20.dp),
    maxItemsInEachRow = 3,
) {
    repeat(20) {
        Box(
            Modifier.align(Alignment.CenterVertically)
                .width(50.dp)
                .height(50.dp)
                .weight(1f, true)
                .background(Color.Green)
        ) {
            Text(text = it.toString(), fontSize = 18.sp, modifier = Modifier.padding(3.dp))
        }
    }
}

When a Modifier RowScope.weight is provided, it scales the item based on the number items that fall on the row it was placed in.

Note that if two or more Text components are placed in a Row, normally they should be aligned by their first baselines. FlowRow as a general purpose container does not do it automatically so developers need to handle this manually. This is achieved by adding a RowScope.alignByBaseline modifier to every such Text component. By default this modifier aligns by androidx.compose.ui.layout.FirstBaseline. If, however, you need to align Texts by androidx.compose.ui.layout.LastBaseline for example, use a more general RowScope.alignBy modifier.

fun PaddingValues(all: Dp): PaddingValues

Creates a padding of all dp along all 4 edges.

fun PaddingValues(horizontal: Dp = 0.dp, vertical: Dp = 0.dp): PaddingValues

Creates a padding of horizontal dp along the left and right edges, and of vertical dp along the top and bottom edges.

fun PaddingValues(start: Dp = 0.dp, top: Dp = 0.dp, end: Dp = 0.dp, bottom: Dp = 0.dp): PaddingValues

Creates a padding to be applied along the edges inside a box. In LTR contexts start will be applied along the left edge and end will be applied along the right edge. In RTL contexts, start will correspond to the right edge and end to the left.

@Composable
inline fun Row(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    horizontalArrangement: Arrangement.Horizontal = Arrangement.Start,
    verticalAlignment: Alignment.Vertical = Alignment.Top,
    content: @Composable RowScope.() -> Unit
): Unit

A layout composable that places its children in a horizontal sequence. For a layout composable that places its children in a vertical sequence, see Column. Note that by default items do not scroll; see Modifier.horizontalScroll to add this behavior. For a horizontally scrollable list that only composes and lays out the currently visible items see LazyRow.

The Row layout is able to assign children widths according to their weights provided using the RowScope.weight modifier. If a child is not provided a weight, it will be asked for its preferred width before the sizes of the children with weights are calculated proportionally to their weight based on the remaining available space. Note that if the Row is horizontally scrollable or part of a horizontally scrollable container, any provided weights will be disregarded as the remaining available space will be infinite.

When none of its children have weights, a Row will be as small as possible to fit its children one next to the other. In order to change the width of the Row, use the Modifier.width modifiers; e.g. to make it fill the available width Modifier.fillMaxWidth can be used. If at least one child of a Row has a weight, the Row will fill the available width, so there is no need for Modifier.fillMaxWidth. However, if Row's size should be limited, the Modifier.width or Modifier.size layout modifiers should be applied.

When the size of the Row is larger than the sum of its children sizes, a horizontalArrangement can be specified to define the positioning of the children inside the Row. See Arrangement for available positioning behaviors; a custom arrangement can also be defined using the constructor of Arrangement. Below is an illustration of different horizontal arrangements:

Row {
    // The child with no weight will have the specified size.
    Box(Modifier.size(40.dp, 80.dp).background(Color.Magenta))
    // Has weight, the child will occupy half of the remaining width.
    Box(Modifier.height(40.dp).weight(1f).background(Color.Yellow))
    // Has weight and does not fill, the child will occupy at most half of the remaining width.
    // Therefore it will occupy 80.dp (its preferred width) if the assigned width is larger.
    Box(Modifier.size(80.dp, 40.dp).weight(1f, fill = false).background(Color.Green))
}

Note that if two or more Text components are placed in a Row, normally they should be aligned by their first baselines. Row as a general purpose container does not do it automatically so developers need to handle this manually. This is achieved by adding a RowScope.alignByBaseline modifier to every such Text component. By default this modifier aligns by FirstBaseline. If, however, you need to align Texts by LastBaseline for example, use a more general RowScope.alignBy modifier.

fun Modifier.absoluteOffset(offset: Density.() -> IntOffset): Modifier

Offset the content by offset px. The offsets can be positive as well as non-positive. Applying an offset only changes the position of the content, without interfering with its size measurement.

This modifier is designed to be used for offsets that change, possibly due to user interactions. It avoids recomposition when the offset is changing, and also adds a graphics layer that prevents unnecessary redrawing of the context when the offset is changing.

This modifier will not consider layout direction when calculating the position of the content: a positive horizontal offset will always move the content to the right. For a modifier that considers layout direction when applying the offset, see offset.

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.clickable
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.absoluteOffset
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.offset
import androidx.compose.material.Text
import androidx.compose.runtime.mutableStateOf
import androidx.compose.runtime.remember
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.IntOffset

// This text will be offset in steps of 10.dp from the top left of the available space.
var offset by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
Text(
    "Layout offset modifier sample",
    Modifier.clickable { offset += 10 }.absoluteOffset { IntOffset(offset, offset) }
)

fun Modifier.absoluteOffset(x: Dp = 0.dp, y: Dp = 0.dp): Modifier

Offset the content by (x dp, y dp). The offsets can be positive as well as non-positive. Applying an offset only changes the position of the content, without interfering with its size measurement.

This modifier will not consider layout direction when calculating the position of the content: a positive x offset will always move the content to the right. For a modifier that considers the layout direction when applying the offset, see offset.

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.absoluteOffset
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxSize
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.offset
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.wrapContentSize
import androidx.compose.material.Text
import androidx.compose.ui.Alignment
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

// This text will be offset (10.dp, 20.dp) from the center of the available space.

fun Modifier.absolutePadding(
    left: Dp = 0.dp,
    top: Dp = 0.dp,
    right: Dp = 0.dp,
    bottom: Dp = 0.dp
): Modifier

Apply additional space along each edge of the content in Dp: left, top, right and bottom. These paddings are applied without regard to the current LayoutDirection, see padding to apply relative paddings. Padding is applied before content measurement and takes precedence; content may only be as large as the remaining space.

Negative padding is not permitted — it will cause IllegalArgumentException. See Modifier.offset.

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.absolutePadding
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.size
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color

            .background(Color.Blue)
    )
}

fun WindowInsets.add(insets: WindowInsets): WindowInsets

Returns a WindowInsets that has values of this, added to the values of insets. For example, if this has a top of 10 and insets has a top of 5, the returned WindowInsets will have a top of 15.

@Composable
fun WindowInsets.asPaddingValues(): PaddingValues

Convert a WindowInsets to a PaddingValues and uses LocalDensity for DP to pixel conversion. PaddingValues can be passed to some containers to pad internal content so that it doesn't overlap the insets when fully scrolled. Ensure that the insets are consumed after the padding is applied if insets are to be used further down the hierarchy.

fun Modifier.aspectRatio(
    ratio: @FloatRange(from = 0.0, fromInclusive = false) Float,
    matchHeightConstraintsFirst: Boolean = false
): Modifier

Attempts to size the content to match a specified aspect ratio by trying to match one of the incoming constraints in the following order: Constraints.maxWidth, Constraints.maxHeight, Constraints.minWidth, Constraints.minHeight if matchHeightConstraintsFirst is false (which is the default), or Constraints.maxHeight, Constraints.maxWidth, Constraints.minHeight, Constraints.minWidth if matchHeightConstraintsFirst is true. The size in the other dimension is determined by the aspect ratio. The combinations will be tried in this order until one non-empty is found to satisfy the constraints. If no valid size is obtained this way, it means that there is no non-empty size satisfying both the constraints and the aspect ratio, so the constraints will not be respected and the content will be sized such that the Constraints.maxWidth or Constraints.maxHeight is matched (depending on matchHeightConstraintsFirst).

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.aspectRatio
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.width
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

Box(Modifier.width(100.dp).aspectRatio(2f).background(Color.Green))

fun PaddingValues.calculateEndPadding(layoutDirection: LayoutDirection): Dp

The padding to be applied along the end edge inside a box: along the right edge if the layout direction is LTR, or along the left edge for RTL.

fun PaddingValues.calculateStartPadding(layoutDirection: LayoutDirection): Dp

The padding to be applied along the start edge inside a box: along the left edge if the layout direction is LTR, or along the right edge for RTL.

fun Modifier.captionBarPadding(): Modifier

Adds padding to accommodate the caption bar insets.

Any insets consumed by other insets padding modifiers or consumeWindowInsets on a parent layout will be excluded from the padding. WindowInsets.Companion.captionBar will be consumed for child layouts as well.

For example, if a parent layout uses displayCutoutPadding, the area that the parent layout pads for the status bars will not be padded again by this captionBarPadding modifier.

When used, the WindowInsets will be consumed.

            }
        }
    }
}

fun Modifier.consumeWindowInsets(insets: WindowInsets): Modifier

Consume insets that haven't been consumed yet by other insets Modifiers similar to windowInsetsPadding without adding any padding.

This can be useful when content offsets are provided by WindowInsets.asPaddingValues. This should be used further down the hierarchy than the PaddingValues is used so that the values aren't consumed before the padding is added.

                    // app content

            }
        }
    }
}

fun Modifier.consumeWindowInsets(paddingValues: PaddingValues): Modifier

Consume paddingValues as insets as if the padding was added irrespective of insets. Layouts further down the hierarchy that use windowInsetsPadding, safeContentPadding, and other insets padding Modifiers won't pad for the values that paddingValues provides. This can be useful when content offsets are provided by layout rather than windowInsetsPadding modifiers.

This method consumes all of paddingValues in addition to whatever has been consumed by other windowInsetsPadding modifiers by ancestors. consumeWindowInsets accepting a WindowInsets argument ensures that its insets are consumed and doesn't consume more if they have already been consumed by ancestors.

        }
    }
}

fun Modifier.defaultMinSize(
    minWidth: Dp = Dp.Unspecified,
    minHeight: Dp = Dp.Unspecified
): Modifier

Constrain the size of the wrapped layout only when it would be otherwise unconstrained: the minWidth and minHeight constraints are only applied when the incoming corresponding constraint is 0. The modifier can be used, for example, to define a default min size of a component, while still allowing it to be overidden with smaller min sizes across usages.

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.defaultMinSize
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.requiredSize
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.requiredSizeIn

@Composable
fun DefaultMinBox(modifier: Modifier = Modifier) {
    Box(modifier.defaultMinSize(minWidth = 100.dp, minHeight = 100.dp).background(Color.Blue))
}
// This will be a 100.dp x 100.dp blue box. Because we are not providing any min constraints
// to the DefaultMinBox, defaultMinSize will apply its min constraints.
DefaultMinBox()
// This will be a 50.dp x 50.dp blue box. Because we are providing min constraints
// to the DefaultMinBox, defaultMinSize will not apply its min constraints.
DefaultMinBox(Modifier.requiredSizeIn(minWidth = 50.dp, minHeight = 50.dp))
// Note that if DefaultMinBox used requiredSizeIn or sizeIn rather than
// defaultMinSize, the min constraints would have been applied with either
// of the above usages.

fun Modifier.displayCutoutPadding(): Modifier

Adds padding to accommodate the display cutout.

Any insets consumed by other insets padding modifiers or consumeWindowInsets on a parent layout will be excluded from the padding. WindowInsets.Companion.displayCutout will be consumed for child layouts as well.

For example, if a parent layout uses statusBarsPadding, the area that the parent layout pads for the status bars will not be padded again by this displayCutoutPadding modifier.

When used, the WindowInsets will be consumed.

            }
        }
    }
}

fun WindowInsets.exclude(insets: WindowInsets): WindowInsets

Returns the values in this WindowInsets that are not also in insets. For example, if this WindowInsets has a WindowInsets.getTop value of 10 and insets has a WindowInsets.getTop value of 8, the returned WindowInsets will have a WindowInsets.getTop value of 2.

Negative values are never returned. For example if insets has a WindowInsets.getTop of 10 and this has a WindowInsets.getTop of 0, the returned WindowInsets will have a WindowInsets.getTop value of 0.

fun Modifier.fillMaxHeight(
    fraction: @FloatRange(from = 0.0, to = 1.0) Float = 1.0f
): Modifier

Have the content fill (possibly only partially) the Constraints.maxHeight of the incoming measurement constraints, by setting the minimum height and the maximum height to be equal to the maximum height multiplied by fraction. Note that, by default, the fraction is 1, so the modifier will make the content fill the whole available height.

fun Modifier.height(height: Dp): Modifier

Declare the preferred height of the content to be exactly heightdp. The incoming measurement Constraints may override this value, forcing the content to be either smaller or larger.

For a modifier that sets the height of the content regardless of the incoming constraints see Modifier.requiredHeight. See width or size to set other preferred dimensions. See widthIn, heightIn or sizeIn to set a preferred size range.

fun Modifier.heightIn(min: Dp = Dp.Unspecified, max: Dp = Dp.Unspecified): Modifier

Constrain the height of the content to be between mindp and maxdp as permitted by the incoming measurement Constraints. If the incoming constraints are more restrictive the requested size will obey the incoming constraints and attempt to be as close as possible to the preferred size.

@ExperimentalLayoutApi
fun Modifier.imeNestedScroll(): Modifier

Controls the soft keyboard as a nested scrolling on Android R and later. This allows the user to drag the soft keyboard up and down.

After scrolling, the IME will animate either to the fully shown or fully hidden position, depending on the position and fling.

fun Modifier.imePadding(): Modifier

Adds padding to accommodate the ime insets.

Any insets consumed by other insets padding modifiers or consumeWindowInsets on a parent layout will be excluded from the padding. WindowInsets.Companion.ime will be consumed for child layouts as well.

For example, if a parent layout uses navigationBarsPadding, the area that the parent layout pads for the status bars will not be padded again by this imePadding modifier.

When used, the WindowInsets will be consumed.

fun Modifier.navigationBarsPadding(): Modifier

Adds padding to accommodate the navigation bars insets.

Any insets consumed by other insets padding modifiers or consumeWindowInsets on a parent layout will be excluded from the padding. WindowInsets.Companion.navigationBars will be consumed for child layouts as well.

For example, if a parent layout uses systemBarsPadding, the area that the parent layout pads for the status bars will not be padded again by this navigationBarsPadding modifier.

fun Modifier.offset(offset: Density.() -> IntOffset): Modifier

Offset the content by offset px. The offsets can be positive as well as non-positive. Applying an offset only changes the position of the content, without interfering with its size measurement.

This modifier is designed to be used for offsets that change, possibly due to user interactions. It avoids recomposition when the offset is changing, and also adds a graphics layer that prevents unnecessary redrawing of the context when the offset is changing.

This modifier will automatically adjust the horizontal offset according to the layout direction: when the LD is LTR, positive horizontal offsets will move the content to the right and when the LD is RTL, positive horizontal offsets will move the content to the left. For a modifier that offsets without considering layout direction, see absoluteOffset.

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.clickable
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.offset
import androidx.compose.material.Text
import androidx.compose.runtime.mutableStateOf
import androidx.compose.runtime.remember
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier

// left-to-right context, and from top right in right-to-left context.
var offset by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
Text(
    "Layout offset modifier sample",
    Modifier.clickable { offset += 10 }.offset { IntOffset(offset, offset) }
)

fun Modifier.offset(x: Dp = 0.dp, y: Dp = 0.dp): Modifier

Offset the content by (x dp, y dp). The offsets can be positive as well as non-positive. Applying an offset only changes the position of the content, without interfering with its size measurement.

This modifier will automatically adjust the horizontal offset according to the layout direction: when the layout direction is LTR, positive x offsets will move the content to the right and when the layout direction is RTL, positive x offsets will move the content to the left. For a modifier that offsets without considering layout direction, see absoluteOffset.

    )
}

fun Modifier.padding(start: Dp = 0.dp, top: Dp = 0.dp, end: Dp = 0.dp, bottom: Dp = 0.dp): Modifier

Apply additional space along each edge of the content in Dp: start, top, end and bottom. The start and end edges will be determined by the current LayoutDirection. Padding is applied before content measurement and takes precedence; content may only be as large as the remaining space.

Negative padding is not permitted — it will cause IllegalArgumentException. See Modifier.offset.

    )
}

fun Modifier.paddingFrom(
    alignmentLine: AlignmentLine,
    before: Dp = Dp.Unspecified,
    after: Dp = Dp.Unspecified
): Modifier

A Modifier that can add padding to position the content according to specified distances from its bounds to an alignment line. Whether the positioning is vertical or horizontal is defined by the orientation of the given alignmentLine (if the line is horizontal, before and after will refer to distances from top and bottom, otherwise they will refer to distances from start and end). The opposite axis sizing and positioning will remain unaffected. The modified layout will try to include the required padding, subject to the incoming max layout constraints, such that the distance from its bounds to the alignmentLine of the content will be before and after, respectively. When the max constraints do not allow this, satisfying the before requirement will have priority over after. When the modified layout is min constrained in the affected layout direction and the padded layout is smaller than the constraint, the modified layout will satisfy the min constraint and the content will be positioned to satisfy the before requirement if specified, or the after requirement otherwise.

Example usage:

fun Modifier.paddingFrom(
    alignmentLine: AlignmentLine,
    before: TextUnit = TextUnit.Unspecified,
    after: TextUnit = TextUnit.Unspecified

A Modifier that can add padding to position the content according to specified distances from its bounds to an alignment line. Whether the positioning is vertical or horizontal is defined by the orientation of the given alignmentLine (if the line is horizontal, before and after will refer to distances from top and bottom, otherwise they will refer to distances from start and end).

fun Modifier.paddingFromBaseline(
    top: Dp = Dp.Unspecified,
    bottom: Dp = Dp.Unspecified
): Modifier

A Modifier that positions the content in a layout such that the distance from the top of the layout to the baseline of the first line of text in the content is top, and the distance from the baseline of the last line of text in the content to the bottom of the layout is bottom.

When the modified layout is min height constrained and the padded layout is smaller than the constraint, the modified layout will satisfy the min constraint and the content will be positioned to satisfy the top requirement if specified, or the bottom requirement otherwise.

)

fun Modifier.paddingFromBaseline(
    top: TextUnit = TextUnit.Unspecified,
    bottom: TextUnit = TextUnit.Unspecified
): Modifier

A Modifier that positions the content in a layout such that the distance from the top of the layout to the baseline of the first line of text in the content is top, and the distance from the baseline of the last line of text in the content to the bottom of the layout is bottom.

When the modified layout is min height constrained and the padded layout is smaller than the constraint, the modified layout will satisfy the min constraint and the content will be positioned to satisfy the top requirement if specified, or the bottom requirement otherwise.

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.paddingFrom

val distanceToFirstBaseline = 30.sp
val distanceFromLastBaseline = 40.sp
Text(
    text = "This line has the first baseline.\nThis line has the last baseline.",
    modifier = Modifier.paddingFromBaseline(distanceToFirstBaseline, distanceFromLastBaseline)
)

fun Modifier.recalculateWindowInsets(): Modifier

This recalculates the WindowInsets based on the size and position. This only works when Constraints have fixed width and fixed height. This can be accomplished, for example, by having Modifier.size, or Modifier.fillMaxSize, or other size modifier before recalculateWindowInsets. If the Constraints sizes aren't fixed, recalculateWindowInsets won't adjust the WindowInsets and won't have any affect on layout.

recalculateWindowInsets is useful when the parent does not call consumeWindowInsets when it aligns a child. For example, a Column with two children should have different WindowInsets for each child. The top item should exclude insets below its bottom and the bottom item should exclude the top insets, but the Column can't assign different insets for different children.

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Column
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.WindowInsets
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxSize

var hasFirstItem by remember { mutableStateOf(true) }
var hasLastItem by remember { mutableStateOf(true) }
Column(Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
    if (hasFirstItem) {
        Box(Modifier.weight(1f).fillMaxWidth().background(Color.Magenta))
    }
    Box(
        Modifier.fillMaxWidth() // force a fixed size on the content
            .recalculateWindowInsets()
            .weight(1f)
            .background(Color.Yellow)
            .safeDrawingPadding()
    ) {
        Button(
            onClick = { hasFirstItem = !hasFirstItem },
            Modifier.align(Alignment.TopCenter)
        ) {
            val action = if (hasFirstItem) "Remove" else "Add"
            Text("$action First Item")
        }
        Button(
            onClick = { hasLastItem = !hasLastItem },
            Modifier.align(Alignment.BottomCenter)
        ) {
            val action = if (hasLastItem) "Remove" else "Add"
            Text("$action Last Item")
        }
    }
    if (hasLastItem) {
        Box(Modifier.weight(1f).fillMaxWidth().background(Color.Cyan))
    }
}

Another use is when a parent doesn't properly consumeWindowInsets for all space that it consumes. For example, a 3rd-party container has padding that doesn't properly use consumeWindowInsets.

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.WindowInsets
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.consumeWindowInsets
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxSize
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.padding
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.recalculateWindowInsets
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.safeContent
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.safeContentPadding
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

// This outer Box is representing a 3rd-party layout that you don't control. It has a
// padding, but doesn't properly use consumeWindowInsets()
Box(Modifier.padding(10.dp)) {
    // This is the content that you control. You can make sure that the WindowInsets are correct
    // so you can pad your content despite the fact that the parent did not
    // consumeWindowInsets()
    Box(
        Modifier.fillMaxSize() // Force a fixed size on the content
            .recalculateWindowInsets()
            .safeContentPadding()
            .background(Color.Blue)
    )
}

In most cases you should not need to use this API, and the parent should instead use consumeWindowInsets to provide the correct values

        .padding(10.dp)

fun Modifier.windowInsetsPadding(insets: WindowInsets): Modifier

Adds padding so that the content doesn't enter insets space.

Any insets consumed by other insets padding modifiers or consumeWindowInsets on a parent layout will be excluded from insets. insets will be consumed for child layouts as well.

For example, if an ancestor uses statusBarsPadding and this modifier uses WindowInsets.Companion.systemBars, the portion of the system bars that the status bars uses will not be padded again by this modifier.
