How can i add a Toolbar in Jetpack Compose? - android

I need to add a Toolbar in my Android application with a List like below. I am using Jetpack Compose to create the UI. Below is the composable function i am using for drawing the main view.
#Composable
fun HomeScreenApp() {
showPetsList(dogs = dogData)
}

You can use the TopAppBar.
The best way is to use the Scaffold. Something like:
Scaffold(
topBar = {
TopAppBar(
title = {
Text(text = "TopAppBar")
},
navigationIcon = {
IconButton(onClick = { }) {
Icon(Icons.Filled.Menu,"")
}
},
backgroundColor = ....,
contentColor = ....
)
}, content = {
})

In Jetpack compose Toolbar can be easily implemented by using a Composable function called TopAppBar. You need to place TopAppBar along with your main composable function inside a column.
#Composable
fun HomeScreenApp() {
Column() {
TopAppBar(title = { Text(text = "Adopt Me") }, backgroundColor = Color.Red)
showPetsList(dogs = dogData)
}
}
The above function calls the TopAppBar inside a column followed by your main content view. The TopAppBar function takes in a Text object(Not string) as title. This can also be any Composable function. You can also specify other params like backgroundColor, navigationIcon, contentColor etc. Remember that TopAppBar is just a Composable provided by Jetpack team. It can be your custom function also just in case you need more customization.

why i Should use UnusedMaterialScaffoldPaddingParameter top of Compose function?

When I don't use the following code, it is displayed on the page.
#SuppressLint("UnusedMaterialScaffoldPaddingParameter")
You should use the PaddingValues of the Scaffold because these values are calculated based on the other items inside of your scaffold. For instance when you use a topBar or BottomBar, your screen will be partially covered with the UI element. When you use the PaddingValues inside the content of your scaffold this won't happen. You can use de PaddingValues like this:
Scaffold(
topBar = {
// some TopBar
},
bottomBar = {
// some BottomBar
},
) { paddingValues ->
Box(
modifier = Modifier.padding(bottom = paddingValues.calculateBottomPadding(), top = paddingValues.calculateTopPadding())
) {
// your UI
}
}

Jetpack compose Bottom sheet in multi screens

What is the best way to implement bottom sheet for multiple screens in jetpack compose? Do we have to define Bottom sheet layout in each screen? Then what to do if we wanted our bottom sheet to overlap on bottom nav bar?
You can create a custom layout like
MyAppCustomLayout(
showBottomBar: Boolean = false,
state: ModalBottomSheetState = ModalBottomSheetState(initialValue =
ModalBottomSheetValue.Hidden),
sheetContent: #Composable () -> Unit = {},
content: #Composable () -> Unit)
{
ModalBottomSheetLayout(
sheetState = state,
sheetContent = { sheetContent() })
{
Scaffold(
bottomBar = if(showBottomBar)
{{
YourBottomNavigationView()
}}
else {{}})
{ content() }
}
}
And use it anywhere in your app like below.
val state = rememberModalBottomSheetState()
MyAppCustomLayout(
state = state,
sheetcontent = {
Column {
Text("Some bottomSheet content")
}
})
{
Column {
Text("Some content")
}
}
If you are using Jetpack Navigation Compose in your project, you might consider using Jetpack Navigation Compose Material to implement it.

How to implement BottomAppBar and BottomDrawer pattern using Android Jetpack Compose?

I'm building Android app with Jetpack Compose. Got stuck while trying to implement BottomAppBar with BottomDrawer pattern.
Bottom navigation drawers are modal drawers that are anchored to the bottom of the screen instead of the left or right edge. They are only used with bottom app bars. These drawers open upon tapping the navigation menu icon in the bottom app bar.
Description on material.io, and direct link to video.
I've tried using Scaffold, but it only supports side drawer. BottomDrawer appended to Scaffold content is displayed in content area and BottomDrawer doesn't cover BottomAppBar when open. Moving BottomDrawer after Scaffold function doesn't help either: BottomAppBar is covered by some invisible block and prevents clicking buttons.
I've also tried using BottomSheetScaffold, but it doesn't have BottomAppBar slot.
If Scaffold doesn't support this pattern, what would be correct way to implement it? Is it possible to extend Scaffold component? I fear that incorrect implementation from scratch might create issues later, when I'll try to implement navigation and snackbar.
I think the latest version of scaffold does have a bottom app bar parameter
They (Google Devs) invite you in the Jetpack Compose Layouts pathway to try adding other Material Design Components such as BottomNavigation or BottomDrawer to their respective Scaffold slots, and yet do not give you the solution.
BottomAppBar does have its own slot in Scaffold (i.e. bottomBar), but BottomDrawer does not - and seems to be designed exclusively for use with the BottomAppBar explicitly (see API documentation for the BottomDrawer).
At this point in the Jetpack Compose pathway, we've covered state hoisting, slots, modifiers, and have been thoroughly explained that from time to time we'll have to play around to see how best to stack and organize Composables - that they almost always have a naturally expressable way in which they work best that is practically intended.
Let me get us set up so that we are on the same page:
class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
#ExperimentalMaterialApi
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContent {
LayoutsCodelabTheme {
// A surface container using the 'background' color from the theme
Surface(color = MaterialTheme.colors.background) {
LayoutsCodelab()
}
}
}
}
}
That's the main activity calling our primary/core Composable. This is just like in the codelab with the exception of the #ExperimentalMaterialApi annotation.
Next is our primary/core Composable:
#ExperimentalMaterialApi
#Composable
fun LayoutsCodelab() {
val ( gesturesEnabled, toggleGesturesEnabled ) = remember { mutableStateOf( true ) }
val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()
val drawerState = rememberBottomDrawerState( BottomDrawerValue.Closed )
// BottomDrawer has to be the true core of our layout
BottomDrawer(
gesturesEnabled = gesturesEnabled,
drawerState = drawerState,
drawerContent = {
Button(
modifier = Modifier.align( Alignment.CenterHorizontally ).padding( top = 16.dp ),
onClick = { scope.launch { drawerState.close() } },
content = { Text( "Close Drawer" ) }
)
LazyColumn {
items( 25 ) {
ListItem(
text = { Text( "Item $it" ) },
icon = {
Icon(
Icons.Default.Favorite,
contentDescription = "Localized description"
)
}
)
}
}
},
// The API describes this member as "the content of the
// rest of the UI"
content = {
// So let's place the Scaffold here
Scaffold(
topBar = {
AppBarContent()
},
//drawerContent = { BottomBar() } // <-- Will implement a side drawer
bottomBar = {
BottomBarContent(
coroutineScope = scope,
drawerState = drawerState
)
},
) {
innerPadding ->
BodyContent( Modifier.padding( innerPadding ).fillMaxHeight() )
}
}
)
}
Here, we've leveraged the Scaffold exactly as the codelab in the compose pathway suggests we should. Notice my comment that drawerContent is an auto-implementation of the side-drawer. It's a rather nifty way to bypass directly using the [respective] Composable(s) (material design's modal drawer/sheet)! However, it won't work for our BottomDrawer. I think the API is experimental for BottomDrawer, because they'll be making changes to add support for it to Composables like Scaffold in the future.
I base that on how difficult it is to use the BottomDrawer, designed for use solely with BottomAppBar, with the Scaffold - which explicitly contains a slot for BottomAppBar.
To support BottomDrawer, we have to understand that it is an underlying layout controller that wraps the entire app's UI, preventing interaction with anything but its drawerContent when the drawer is open. This requires that it encompasses Scaffold, and that requires that we delegate necessary state control - to the BottomBarContent composable which wraps our BottomAppBar implementation:
#ExperimentalMaterialApi
#Composable
fun BottomBarContent( modifier: Modifier = Modifier, coroutineScope: CoroutineScope, drawerState: BottomDrawerState ) {
BottomAppBar{
// Leading icons should typically have a high content alpha
CompositionLocalProvider( LocalContentAlpha provides ContentAlpha.high ) {
IconButton(
onClick = {
coroutineScope.launch { drawerState.open() }
}
) {
Icon( Icons.Filled.Menu, contentDescription = "Localized description" )
}
}
// The actions should be at the end of the BottomAppBar. They use the default medium
// content alpha provided by BottomAppBar
Spacer( Modifier.weight( 1f, true ) )
IconButton( onClick = { /* doSomething() */ } ) {
Icon( Icons.Filled.Favorite, contentDescription = "Localized description" )
}
IconButton( onClick = { /* doSomething() */ } ) {
Icon( Icons.Filled.Favorite, contentDescription = "Localized description" )
}
}
}
The result shows us:
The TopAppBar at top,
The BottomAppBar at bottom,
Clicking the menu icon in the BottomAppBar opens our BottomDrawer, covering the BottomAppBar and entire content space appropriately while open.
The BottomDrawer is properly hidden, until either the above referenced button click - or gesture - is utilized to open the bottom drawer.
The menu icon in the BottomAppBar opens the drawer partway.
Gesture opens the bottom drawer partway with a quick short swipe, but as far as you guide it to otherwise.
You may have to do something as shown below..
Notice how the Scaffold is called inside the BottomDrawer().
It's confusing though how the documentation says "They (BottomDrawer) are only used with bottom app bars". It made me think I have to look for a BottomDrawer() slot inside Scaffold or that I have to call BottomDrawer() inside BottomAppBar(). In both cases, I experienced weird behaviours. This is how I worked around the issue. I hope it helps someone especially if you are attempting the code lab exercise in Module 5 of Layouts in Jetpack Compose from the Jetpack Compose course.
#ExperimentalMaterialApi
#Composable
fun MyApp() {
var selectedItem by rememberSaveable { mutableStateOf(1)}
BottomDrawer(
modifier = Modifier.background(MaterialTheme.colors.onPrimary),
drawerShape = Shapes.medium,
drawerContent = {
Column(Modifier.fillMaxWidth()) {
for(i in 1..6) {
when (i) {
1 -> Row(modifier = Modifier.clickable { }.padding(16.dp)){
Icon(imageVector = Icons.Rounded.Inbox, contentDescription = null)
Text(text = "Inbox")
}
2 -> Row(modifier = Modifier.clickable { }.padding(16.dp)){
Icon(imageVector = Icons.Rounded.Outbox, contentDescription = null)
Text(text = "Outbox")
}
3 -> Row(modifier = Modifier.clickable { }.padding(16.dp)){
Icon(imageVector = Icons.Rounded.Archive, contentDescription = null)
Text(text = "Archive")
}
}
}
}
},
gesturesEnabled = true
) {
Scaffold(
topBar = {
TopAppBar(
title = {
Text(text = "Learning Compose Layouts" )
},
actions = {
IconButton(onClick = { /*TODO*/ }) {
Icon(Icons.Filled.Favorite, contentDescription = null)
}
}
)
},
bottomBar = { BottomAppBar(cutoutShape = CircleShape, contentPadding = PaddingValues(0.dp)) {
for (item in 1..4) {
BottomNavigationItem(
modifier = Modifier.clipToBounds(),
selected = selectedItem == item ,
onClick = { selectedItem = item },
icon = {
when (item) {
1 -> { Icon(Icons.Rounded.MusicNote, contentDescription = null) }
2 -> { Icon(Icons.Rounded.BookmarkAdd, contentDescription = null) }
3 -> { Icon(Icons.Rounded.SportsBasketball, contentDescription = null) }
4 -> { Icon(Icons.Rounded.ShoppingCart, contentDescription = null) }
}
}
)
}
}
}
) { innerPadding -> BodyContent(

.padding(innerPadding)
.padding(8.dp))

Does Android Jetpack Compose support Toolbar widget?

I'd like to use Toolbar with Jetpack Compose. Does it have such a Composable component?
You can use the TopAppBar.
The best way is to use it with the Scaffold. Something like:
Scaffold(
topBar = {
TopAppBar(
title = {
Text(text = "TopAppBar")
},
navigationIcon = {
IconButton(onClick = { }) {
Icon(Icons.Filled.Menu,"")
}
},
backgroundColor = Color.Blue,
contentColor = Color.White,
elevation = 12.dp
)
}, content = {
})
Using
compose_version = '1.0.0-beta01'
TopAppBar(
title = {
Text(text = "Pets Show")
},
navigationIcon = {
IconButton(onClick = { }) {
Icon(imageVector = Icons.Filled.Menu, contentDescription = "Menu Btn")
}
},
backgroundColor = Color.Transparent,
contentColor = Color.Gray,
elevation = 2.dp
)
TopAppBar is a pre-defined composable that will help you accomplish what you want. You can use it with Scaffold in order to get basic material design scaffolding to hook up the TopAppBar.
Here is an example with detailed comments to see how to use it - https://github.com/vinaygaba/Learn-Jetpack-Compose-By-Example/blob/1f843cb2bf18b9988a0dfc611b631f216f02149e/app/src/main/java/com/example/jetpackcompose/material/FixedActionButtonActivity.kt#L70
Copying it here to make it easy to consume
// Scaffold is a pre-defined composable that implements the basic material design visual
// layout structure. It takes in child composables for all the common elements that you see
// in an app using material design - app bar, bottom app bar, floating action button, etc. It
// also takes care of laying out these child composables in the correct positions - eg bottom
// app bar is automatically placed at the bottom of the screen even though I didn't specify
// that explicitly.
Scaffold(
scaffoldState = scaffoldState,
topAppBar = { TopAppBar(title = { Text("Scaffold Examples") }) },
bottomAppBar = { fabConfiguration ->
// We specify the shape of the FAB bu passing a shape composable (fabShape) as a
// parameter to cutoutShape property of the BottomAppBar. It automatically creates a
// cutout in the BottomAppBar based on the shape of the Floating Action Button.
BottomAppBar(fabConfiguration = fabConfiguration, cutoutShape = fabShape) {}
},
floatingActionButton = {
FloatingActionButton(
onClick = {},
// We specify the same shape that we passed as the cutoutShape above.
shape = fabShape,
// We use the secondary color from the current theme. It uses the defaults when
// you don't specify a theme (this example doesn't specify a theme either hence
// it will just use defaults. Look at DarkModeActivity if you want to see an
// example of using themes.
backgroundColor = MaterialTheme.colors.secondary
) {
IconButton(onClick = {}) {
Icon(asset = Icons.Filled.Favorite)
}
}
},
floatingActionButtonPosition = Scaffold.FabPosition.CenterDocked,
bodyContent = { modifier ->
// Vertical scroller is a composable that adds the ability to scroll through the
// child views
VerticalScroller {
// Column is a composable that places its children in a vertical sequence. You
// can think of it similar to a LinearLayout with the vertical orientation.
Column(modifier) {
repeat(100) {
// Card composable is a predefined composable that is meant to represent
// the card surface as specified by the Material Design specification. We
// also configure it to have rounded corners and apply a modifier.
Card(color = colors[it % colors.size],
shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp),
modifier = Modifier.padding(8.dp)
) {
Spacer(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth() + Modifier.preferredHeight(200.dp))
}
}
}
}
}
)
Yes, it's TopAppBar (in androidx.ui.material). It allows you to specify a title, color, navigation icon, and actions. See the documentation for more information.

Access a widget from another widget in jetpack compose

Using traditional XML you can get the instance of a View using it's id or tag.
How is this possible in jetpack compose?
Card(elevation = 1.dp, shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp), color = Color.Transparent) {
// TARGET is here
Padding(padding = 8.dp) {
Text(text = "Net stat", style = +themeTextStyle { h6 })
}
}
Text(text = netStatusState.value)
HeightSpacer(height = 10.dp)
Divider()
HeightSpacer(height = 10.dp)
Card(elevation = 1.dp, shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp), color = Color.Transparent) {
Padding(padding = 8.dp) {
Clickable(onClick = {
// MODIFY (Remove, change element, update attr) the target
}) {
Button(text = "Click me if you can")
}
}
}
Is it even needed such a feature, or it's all done using the state?
Composables do not have IDs, and you generally shouldn't need to get an instance of a composable. It is helpful to think of Composable functions as print statements. Just like a println() function takes some data and writes it to the console, Composable functions take data and measure/layout/draw this data onto the screen.
If you change the data, and the data is in a class annotated with #Model, the Jetpack compose system will automatically call the appropriate functions again using the new state and your UI will be updated.
