Issue
I am working on my first app fully designed by Compose.
I need to centralize vertically text with the Text()
compose component. In traditional Android dev practice I did this over alignment property. Text()
compose also has alignment property, but at this moment it has limited capacity (Alignment.Horizontal()
is only allowed), despite on I noticed different alignment values within Text()
when made a research in web. Similar case for Column()
- it also has alignment property .wrapContentSize()
and also has limitation on values that could be used here, despite on quick research in web shows it may receive CenterVertically
too.
What is your way to achieve this visual effect? The full code piece is below
@ExperimentalUnitApi
@Composable
fun TripBookingContent(state: PassengerTripUiState.TripBookUiState) {
Log.d(App.TAG, "[screen] TripBookingContent")
val baselineGrid = dimensionResource(id = R.dimen.baseline_grid)
val mainPadding = dimensionResource(id = R.dimen.main_margin_compact)
var componentSpace = dimensionResource(id = R.dimen.component_space)
Column(
modifier = Modifier
.wrapContentHeight()
.fillMaxWidth()
.padding(
paddingValues = PaddingValues(
horizontal = mainPadding,
vertical = baselineGrid
)
)
) {
TripViewItem(
data = state.trip,
{},
modifier = Modifier.padding(vertical = baselineGrid)
)
Text(
text = stringResource(id = R.string.booking_screen_driver),
color = colorResource(id = R.color.white),
style = TextStyle(textIndent = TextIndent(firstLine = TextUnit(16F, TextUnitType.Sp))),
modifier = Modifier
.height(componentSpace)
.padding(start = baselineGrid)
.fillMaxWidth()
.background(color = colorResource(id = R.color.design_default_color_secondary_variant))
)
Log.d(App.TAG, "[state] state.driver - ${state}")
Log.d(App.TAG, "[state] state.driver.toDriver() - ${state.driver}")
DriverCardContent(data = state.driver)
Text(
text = stringResource(id = R.string.booking_screen_msg),
color = colorResource(id = R.color.white),
style = TextStyle(textIndent = TextIndent(firstLine = TextUnit(16F, TextUnitType.Sp))),
textAlign = TextAlign.Center,
modifier = Modifier
// .height(componentSpace)
.height(32.dp)
.padding(start = baselineGrid)
.fillMaxWidth()
.background(color = colorResource(id = R.color.colorPrimaryDark))
)
/**
* Disable book button at current (alfa version), for more details
* */
Button(
onClick = { /* no op */ },
modifier = Modifier
.alpha(0F)
.fillMaxWidth()
.padding(baselineGrid)
.height(dimensionResource(id = R.dimen.button_height)),
colors = ButtonDefaults.buttonColors(
backgroundColor = Color.Blue,
contentColor = Color.White
),
) {
Text(
text = stringResource(id = R.string.booking_screen_confirm_button),
modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.CenterVertically),
fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold
)
}
}
}
UPDATE My final solution become this one below. I have to move padding and background to the Box() layer to achieve text in center both vertically and horizontally.
Box(
contentAlignment = Alignment.Center,
modifier = Modifier
.height(32.dp)
.padding(start = baselineGrid)
.fillMaxWidth()
.background(color = colorResource(id = R.color.colorPrimaryDark))
) {
Text(
text = stringResource(id = R.string.booking_screen_msg),
color = colorResource(id = R.color.white),
style = TextStyle(textIndent = TextIndent(firstLine = TextUnit(16F, TextUnitType.Sp))),
textAlign = TextAlign.Center,
/* modifier = Modifier
// .height(componentSpace)
.height(32.dp)
.padding(start = baselineGrid)
.fillMaxWidth()
.background(color = colorResource(id = R.color.colorPrimaryDark))*/
)
}
Solution
It's not possible to center vertically only using Text()
. I asked similar question here, you need to use Box() with contentAlignment = Alignment.Center. There are also CenterStart and CenterEnd options for alignment either.
Box(
contentAlignment = Alignment.Center,
) {
Text(
text = "Text",
textAlign = TextAlign.Center
)
}
