Why is there only ".sp" in fontSize of Text("") composable and not ".dp" in Jetpack Compose-beta08

I want the size of the text to be in .dp so that it doesn't change according to the system font. How to achieve this in Jetpack Compose "Text" composable

Solution

  • The Compose team does not intend to provide that possibility, em are a bit pita to use, but there is an easy workaround should anyone really need it.

    @Composable
fun dpToSp(dp: Dp) = with(LocalDensity.current) { dp.toSp() }

Text("ABCD", fontSize = dpToSp(15.dp))
