How to centre elements in Jetpack Compose Desktop Column

Working on desktop application with Jetpack Compose and unable to center elements in a Column as horizontalAlignment attribute is not working. I've also seen many other answers saying to use horizontalArrangment but that is also not working for desktop application.

enter image description here

Update: I've imported Alignment from androidx.compose.ui now and able to use CenterHorizontally and error is gone but it's still not getting in centre.

Solution

  • you need to add

    
Column(
    modifier = Modifier
        .fillMaxWidth(),
    horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CENTRE
){
   ....
}

    because u need to state max width for the apps or you need to define the width/height of the column so that horizontal can be placed on the centre.
