Parameters
onPreRotaryScrollEvent: (RotaryScrollEvent) -> Boolean

This callback is invoked when the user interacts with the rotary button on a wear device. It gives ancestors of a focused component the chance to intercept a RotaryScrollEvent.

When the user rotates the side button on a wear device, a RotaryScrollEvent is sent to the focused item. Before reaching the focused item, this event starts at the root composable, and propagates down the hierarchy towards the focused item. It invokes any onPreRotaryScrollEvents it encounters on ancestors of the focused item. After reaching the focused item, the event propagates up the hierarchy back towards the parent. It invokes any onRotaryScrollEvents it encounters on its way back.

Return true to indicate that you consumed the event and want to stop propagation of this event.

Returns
Modifier

true if the event is consumed, false otherwise.

onRotaryScrollEvent

fun Modifier.onRotaryScrollEvent(
    onRotaryScrollEvent: (RotaryScrollEvent) -> Boolean
): Modifier

Adding this modifier to the modifier parameter of a component will allow it to intercept RotaryScrollEvents if it (or one of its children) is focused.

Parameters
onRotaryScrollEvent: (RotaryScrollEvent) -> Boolean

This callback is invoked when the user interacts with the rotary side button or the bezel on a wear device. While implementing this callback, return true to stop propagation of this event. If you return false, the event will be sent to this onRotaryScrollEvent's parent.

Returns
Modifier

true if the event is consumed, false otherwise.

Here is an example of a scrollable container that scrolls in response to RotaryScrollEvents.
