Box

Cmn

Artifact: androidx.compose.foundation:foundation-layout

View Source

Added in 1.0.0

@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))

Added in 1.0.0

@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

        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))

    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.

Parameters
`modifier: Modifier = Modifier`	Modifier to be applied to the layout.
`contentAlignment: Alignment = Alignment.TopStart`	The default alignment inside the `BoxWithConstraints`.
`propagateMinConstraints: Boolean = false`	Whether the incoming min constraints should be passed to content.
`content: @Composable @UiComposable BoxWithConstraintsScope.() -> Unit`	The content of the `BoxWithConstraints`.

    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:

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))
}

Parameters
`modifier: Modifier = Modifier`	The modifier to be applied to the Column.
`verticalArrangement: Arrangement.Vertical = Arrangement.Top`	The vertical arrangement of the layout's children.
`horizontalAlignment: Alignment.Horizontal = Alignment.Start`	The horizontal alignment of the layout's children.
`content: @Composable ColumnScope.() -> Unit`	The content of the Column

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

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.foundation.layout.height
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.padding
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.width
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.wrapContentHeight
import androidx.compose.material.Text

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.

Parameters
`modifier: Modifier = Modifier`	The modifier to be applied to the Row.
`horizontalArrangement: Arrangement.Horizontal = Arrangement.Start`	The horizontal arrangement of the layout's children.
`verticalArrangement: Arrangement.Vertical = Arrangement.Top`	The vertical arrangement of the layout's virtual rows.
`itemVerticalAlignment: Alignment.Vertical = Alignment.Top`	The cross axis/vertical alignment of an item in the column.
`maxItemsInEachRow: Int = Int.MAX_VALUE`	The maximum number of items per row
`maxLines: Int = Int.MAX_VALUE`	The max number of rows
`content: @Composable FlowRowScope.() -> Unit`	The content as a `RowScope`

Row

Cmn

Artifact: androidx.compose.foundation:foundation-layout

View Source

Added in 1.0.0

@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
arrangements

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Row
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.height
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.size
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.sp

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.

See example of using Texts inside the Row:

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Row
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxHeight
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.size
import androidx.compose.material.Text
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.sp

Row(Modifier.fillMaxHeight()) {
    // The center of the magenta Box and the baselines of the two texts will be
    // vertically aligned. Note that alignBy() or alignByBaseline() has to be specified
    // for all children we want to take part in the alignment. For example, alignByBaseline()
    // means that the baseline of the text should be aligned with the alignment line
    // (possibly another baseline) specified for siblings using alignBy or alignByBaseline.
    // If no other sibling had alignBy() or alignByBaseline(), the modifier would have no
    // effect.
    Box(
        modifier =
            Modifier.size(80.dp, 40.dp)
                .alignBy { it.measuredHeight / 2 }
                .background(Color.Magenta)
    )
    Text(
        text = "Text 1",
        fontSize = 40.sp,
        modifier = Modifier.alignByBaseline().background(color = Color.Red),
    )
    Text(text = "Text 2", modifier = Modifier.alignByBaseline().background(color = Color.Cyan))
}

Parameters
`modifier: Modifier = Modifier`	The modifier to be applied to the Row.
`horizontalArrangement: Arrangement.Horizontal = Arrangement.Start`	The horizontal arrangement of the layout's children.
`verticalAlignment: Alignment.Vertical = Alignment.Top`	The vertical alignment of the layout's children.
`content: @Composable RowScope.() -> Unit`	The content of the Row

absoluteOffset

View Source

Added in 1.0.0

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
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

// 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.

    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.

Added in 1.0.0

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).

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.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.

If one of the Rulers in rulers has a value within the bounds of the Layout, this sizes the content to that Ruler and the edge. If multiple Rulers have a value within the space, only one is chosen, in this order: RectRulers.left, RectRulers.top, RectRulers.right, RectRulers.bottom. 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 fitOutside.

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 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:

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:

import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.paddingFrom
import androidx.compose.material.Text
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.layout.FirstBaseline
import androidx.compose.ui.platform.LocalDensity
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

// We want to have 30.sp distance from the top of the layout box to the baseline of the
// first line of text.
val distanceToBaseline = 30.sp
// We convert the 30.sp value to dps, which is required for the paddingFrom API.
val distanceToBaselineDp = with(LocalDensity.current) { distanceToBaseline.toDp() }
// The result will be a layout with 30.sp distance from the top of the layout box to the
// baseline of the first line of text.
Text(
    text = "This is an example.",
    modifier = Modifier.paddingFrom(FirstBaseline, before = distanceToBaselineDp),
)

Parameters
`alignmentLine: AlignmentLine`	the alignment line relative to which the padding is defined
`before: Dp = Dp.Unspecified`	the distance between the container's top edge and the horizontal alignment line, or the container's start edge and the vertical alignment line
`after: Dp = Dp.Unspecified`	the distance between the container's bottom edge and the horizontal alignment line, or the container's end edge and the vertical alignment line

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.

recalculateWindowInsets

Cmn

Artifact: androidx.compose.foundation:foundation-layout

View Source

Added in 1.8.0

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
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxWidth

import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.safeDrawingPadding
import androidx.compose.material.Button
import androidx.compose.material.Text
import androidx.compose.runtime.mutableStateOf
import androidx.compose.runtime.remember
import androidx.compose.ui.Alignment
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color

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

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.safeContent
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.safeContentPadding
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

// The outer Box uses padding and properly compensates for it by using consumeWindowInsets()
Box(
    Modifier.fillMaxSize()
        .padding(10.dp)
        .consumeWindowInsets(WindowInsets(10.dp, 10.dp, 10.dp, 10.dp))
) {
    Box(Modifier.fillMaxSize().safeContentPadding().background(Color.Blue))

Allow the content to measure at its desired size without regard for the incoming measurement minimum width or minimum height constraints, and, if unbounded is true, also without regard for the incoming maximum constraints. If the content's measured size is smaller than the minimum size constraint, align it within that minimum sized space. If the content's measured size is larger than the maximum size constraint (only possible when unbounded is true), align within the maximum space.

Example usage:

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

// Here the result will be a 20.dp x 20.dp blue box top-centered in a 40.dp x 40.dp space.
// Because of the sizeIn modifier, if wrapContentSize did not exist, the blue rectangle
// would actually be 40.dp x 40.dp to satisfy the min size set by the modifier. However,
// because we provide wrapContentSize, the blue rectangle is specified to be wrap
// content - if the desired size is smaller than 40.dp x 40.dp, it will be top-centered in
// this space. Therefore the 20.dp x 20.dp is top-centered in the space.
Box(
    Modifier.sizeIn(minWidth = 40.dp, minHeight = 40.dp)
        .wrapContentSize(Alignment.TopCenter)
        .size(20.dp)

fun Modifier.wrapContentWidth(
    align: Alignment.Horizontal = Alignment.CenterHorizontally,
    unbounded: Boolean = false
): Modifier

Allow the content to measure at its desired width without regard for the incoming measurement minimum width constraint, and, if unbounded is true, also without regard for the incoming measurement maximum width constraint. If the content's measured size is smaller than the minimum width constraint, align it within that minimum width space. If the content's measured size is larger than the maximum width constraint (only possible when unbounded is true), align over the maximum width space.

Example usage:

import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.wrapContentWidth
import androidx.compose.ui.Alignment

import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

// Here the result will be a 20.dp x 50.dp blue box centered vertically in a 50.dp x 50.dp
// space. Because of the size modifier, if wrapContentWidth did not exist,
// the blue rectangle would actually be 50.dp x 50.dp to satisfy the size set by the modifier.
// However, because we provide wrapContentWidth, the blue rectangle is specified to be wrap
// content in width - if the desired width is smaller than 50.dp, it will be centered
// horizontally in this space. Therefore the 50.dp x 20.dp is centered horizontally
// in the space.
