Functions

TimeText

@Composable
fun TimeText(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    curvedModifier: CurvedModifier = CurvedModifier,
    maxSweepAngle: Float = TimeTextDefaults.MaxSweepAngle,
    backgroundColor: Color = TimeTextDefaults.backgroundColor(),
    timeSource: TimeSource = TimeTextDefaults.rememberTimeSource(timeFormat()),
    contentPadding: PaddingValues = TimeTextDefaults.ContentPadding,
    content: CurvedScope.(String) -> Unit = { time -> timeTextCurvedText(time) }
): Unit

Layout to show the current time and a label, they will be drawn in a curve, following the top edge of the screen.

Note that Wear Material UX guidance recommends that time text should not be larger than TimeTextDefaults.MaxSweepAngle of the screen edge, which is enforced by default. It is recommended that additional content, if any, is limited to short status messages before the time using the MaterialTheme.colorScheme.primary color.

For more information, see the Curved Text guide.

A simple TimeText which shows the current time:

import androidx.wear.compose.material3.TimeText

// TimeText displays the current time by default.
TimeText()

A TimeText with a short app status message shown:

import androidx.wear.compose.material3.MaterialTheme
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.TimeText
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.TimeTextDefaults
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.timeTextCurvedText
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.timeTextSeparator

val style = TimeTextDefaults.timeTextStyle()
val primaryStyle =
    TimeTextDefaults.timeTextStyle(color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.primaryContainer)
TimeText { time ->
    timeTextCurvedText("ETA 12:48", style = primaryStyle)
    timeTextSeparator(style)
    timeTextCurvedText(time)
}

A TimeText with a long status message, that needs ellipsizing:

import androidx.compose.ui.text.style.TextOverflow
import androidx.wear.compose.foundation.CurvedModifier
import androidx.wear.compose.foundation.weight
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.TimeText
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.TimeTextDefaults
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.curvedText
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.timeTextCurvedText
import androidx.wear.compose.material3.timeTextSeparator

val style = TimeTextDefaults.timeTextStyle()
TimeText { time ->
    curvedText(
        "Long status that should be ellipsized.",
        CurvedModifier.weight(1f),
        overflow = TextOverflow.Ellipsis,
    )
    timeTextSeparator(style)
    timeTextCurvedText(time)
}
Parameters
modifier: Modifier = Modifier

The modifier to be applied to the component.
curvedModifier: CurvedModifier = CurvedModifier

The CurvedModifier used to restrict the arc in which TimeText is drawn.
maxSweepAngle: Float = TimeTextDefaults.MaxSweepAngle

The default maximum sweep angle in degrees.
backgroundColor: Color = TimeTextDefaults.backgroundColor()

The background color of the arc drawn behind the TimeText.
timeSource: TimeSource = TimeTextDefaults.rememberTimeSource(timeFormat())

TimeSource which retrieves the current time and formats it.
contentPadding: PaddingValues = TimeTextDefaults.ContentPadding

The spacing values between the container and the content.
content: CurvedScope.(String) -> Unit = { time -> timeTextCurvedText(time) }

The content of the TimeText - displays the current time by default. This lambda receives the current time as a String and should display it using curvedText. Note that if long curved text is included here, it should specify androidx.wear.compose.foundation.weight on it so that the space available is suitably allocated.
