Material Design tab

Tabs organize content across different screens, data sets, and other interactions.

Tabs image

Generic Tab overload that is not opinionated about content / color. See the other overload for a Tab that has specific slots for text and / or an icon, as well as providing the correct colors for selected / unselected states.

A custom tab using this API may look like:

import androidx.compose.foundation.background
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Arrangement
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Box
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Column
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxWidth
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.height
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.padding
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.size
import androidx.compose.material3.MaterialTheme
import androidx.compose.material3.Tab
import androidx.compose.material3.Text
import androidx.compose.ui.Alignment
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp

Tab(selected, onClick) {
    Column(
        Modifier.padding(10.dp).height(50.dp).fillMaxWidth(),
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.SpaceBetween,
    ) {
        Box(
            Modifier.size(10.dp)
                .align(Alignment.CenterHorizontally)
                .background(
                    color =
                        if (selected) MaterialTheme.colorScheme.primary
                        else MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background
                )
        )
        Text(
            text = title,
            style = MaterialTheme.typography.bodyLarge,
            modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.CenterHorizontally),
        )
    }
}
Parameters
selected: Boolean

whether this tab is selected or not
onClick: () -> Unit

called when this tab is clicked
modifier: Modifier = Modifier

the Modifier to be applied to this tab
enabled: Boolean = true

controls the enabled state of this tab. When false, this component will not respond to user input, and it will appear visually disabled and disabled to accessibility services.
selectedContentColor: Color = LocalContentColor.current

the color for the content of this tab when selected, and the color of the ripple.
unselectedContentColor: Color = selectedContentColor

the color for the content of this tab when not selected
interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource? = null

an optional hoisted MutableInteractionSource for observing and emitting Interactions for this tab. You can use this to change the tab's appearance or preview the tab in different states. Note that if null is provided, interactions will still happen internally.
content: @Composable ColumnScope.() -> Unit

the content of this tab

Material Design tab

A default Tab, also known as a Primary Navigation Tab. Tabs organize content across different screens, data sets, and other interactions.

Tabs image

A Tab represents a single page of content using a text label and/or icon. It represents its selected state by tinting the text label and/or image with selectedContentColor.

This should typically be used inside of a TabRow, see the corresponding documentation for example usage.

This Tab has slots for text and/or icon - see the other Tab overload for a generic Tab that is not opinionated about its content.
