fun BringIntoViewRequester(): BringIntoViewRequester

Create an instance of BringIntoViewRequester that can be used with Modifier.bringIntoViewRequester. A child can then call BringIntoViewRequester.bringIntoView to send a request any scrollable parents so that they scroll to bring this item into view.

Here is a sample where a composable is brought into view:

import androidx.compose.ui.focus.onFocusChanged

Row(Modifier.horizontalScroll(rememberScrollState())) {
    repeat(100) {
        val bringIntoViewRequester = remember { BringIntoViewRequester() }
        val coroutineScope = rememberCoroutineScope()
        Box(
            Modifier
                // This associates the RelocationRequester with a Composable that wants to be
                // brought into view.
                .bringIntoViewRequester(bringIntoViewRequester)
                .onFocusChanged {
                    if (it.isFocused) {
                        coroutineScope.launch {
                            // This sends a request to all parents that asks them to scroll so
                            // that this item is brought into view.
                            bringIntoViewRequester.bringIntoView()
                        }

                }

Extension functions

bringIntoViewRequester

Cmn 
fun Modifier.bringIntoViewRequester(
    bringIntoViewRequester: BringIntoViewRequester
): Modifier

Modifier that can be used to send scrollIntoView requests.

The following example uses a bringIntoViewRequester to bring an item into the parent bounds. The example demonstrates how a composable can ask its parents to scroll so that the component using this modifier is brought into the bounds of all its parents.

import androidx.compose.foundation.horizontalScroll
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Row
import androidx.compose.foundation.relocation.BringIntoViewRequester
import androidx.compose.foundation.relocation.bringIntoViewRequester

import androidx.compose.runtime.remember
import androidx.compose.runtime.rememberCoroutineScope
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.focus.focusTarget
import androidx.compose.ui.focus.onFocusChanged

Row(Modifier.horizontalScroll(rememberScrollState())) {
    repeat(100) {
        val bringIntoViewRequester = remember { BringIntoViewRequester() }
        val coroutineScope = rememberCoroutineScope()
        Box(
            Modifier
                // This associates the RelocationRequester with a Composable that wants to be
                // brought into view.
                .bringIntoViewRequester(bringIntoViewRequester)
                .onFocusChanged {
                    if (it.isFocused) {
                        coroutineScope.launch {
                            // This sends a request to all parents that asks them to scroll so
                            // that this item is brought into view.
                            bringIntoViewRequester.bringIntoView()
                        }
                    }
                }
                .focusTarget()
        )
    }
}
Parameters
bringIntoViewRequester: BringIntoViewRequester

An instance of BringIntoViewRequester. This hoisted object can be used to send BringIntoViewRequester.scrollIntoView requests to parents of the current composable.

bringIntoViewResponder

Cmn 
fun Modifier.bringIntoViewResponder(responder: BringIntoViewResponder): Modifier

A parent that can respond to BringIntoViewRequester requests from its children, and scroll so that the item is visible on screen. See BringIntoViewResponder for more details about how this mechanism works.

scrollIntoView

Cmn 
suspend fun DelegatableNode.scrollIntoView(rect: Rect? = null): Unit

Bring this node into bounds by making all the scrollable parents scroll appropriately.

This method will not return until this request is satisfied or a newer request interrupts it. If this call is interrupted by a newer call, this method will throw a CancellationException.
