Modifier in Compose Ui

Adding this [modifier][Modifier] to the [modifier][Modifier] parameter of a component will allow it to intercept [RotaryScrollEvent]s if it (or one of its children) is focused.

fun Modifier.onPreRotaryScrollEvent(
    onPreRotaryScrollEvent: (RotaryScrollEvent) -> Boolean
): Modifier

Parameters

namedescription
onPreRotaryScrollEventThis callback is invoked when the user interacts with the rotary button on a wear device. It gives ancestors of a focused component the chance to intercept a [RotaryScrollEvent].When the user rotates the side button on a wear device, a [RotaryScrollEvent] is sent to thefocused item. Before reaching the focused item, this event starts at the root composable, andpropagates down the hierarchy towards the focused item. It invokes any [onPreRotaryScrollEvent]sit encounters on ancestors of the focused item. After reaching the focused item, the eventpropagates up the hierarchy back towards the parent. It invokes any [onRotaryScrollEvent]s itencounters on its way back.Return true to indicate that you consumed the event and want to stop propagation of this event.
