Say I have a fixed size rectangle with some text inside. Since the user can change the font size from the System - Accessibility settings on the device, the font might not fit inside the fixed sized rectangle. If this happen, we would like to render the text outside the rectangle instead.
AFAIK I should somehow measure the text's width (for example) and see if it fits inside the rectangle and if not, layout the components in a different manner.
How would I do this in Jetpack Compose?
So with this pseudo code, if text
does not fit inside the Box
I would like to lay out the text below it, thus introducing a Column
etc instead.
@Composable
fun myView() {
val text = Text("Some text")
Box(modifier = Modifier.size(40.dp)) {
text
}
}
Using onTextLayout
you can get size of drawn text.
To prevent actually drawing it while calculating the size you can use drawWithContent
modifier.
var textSize by remember { mutableStateOf<IntSize?>(null) }
val density = LocalDensity.current
val maxDimensionDp = remember(textSize) {
textSize?.let { textSize ->
with(density) {
maxOf(textSize.width, textSize.height).toDp()
}
}
}
val textComposable = @Composable {
Text(
"Some text",
onTextLayout = {
textSize = it.size
},
modifier = Modifier.drawWithContent {
if (textSize != null) {
drawContent()
}
}
)
}
when {
maxDimensionDp == null -> {
// calculating size.
// because of drawWithContent it's not gonna be drawn
textComposable()
}
maxDimensionDp < 40.dp -> {
Box(modifier = Modifier.size(40.dp).background(Color.Red)) {
textComposable()
}
}
else -> {
Column(modifier = Modifier.background(Color.Green)) {
textComposable()
}
}
}
