Text

Composable Component

High level element that displays text and provides semantics / accessibility information.

Android

@Composable
public fun Text(
    text: String,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    color: Color = Color.Unspecified,
    fontSize: TextUnit = TextUnit.Unspecified,
    fontStyle: FontStyle? = null,
    fontWeight: FontWeight? = null,
    fontFamily: FontFamily? = null,
    letterSpacing: TextUnit = TextUnit.Unspecified,
    textDecoration: TextDecoration? = null,
    textAlign: TextAlign? = LocalTextConfiguration.current.textAlign,
    lineHeight: TextUnit = TextUnit.Unspecified,
    overflow: TextOverflow = LocalTextConfiguration.current.overflow,
    softWrap: Boolean = true,
    maxLines: Int = LocalTextConfiguration.current.maxLines,
    minLines: Int = 1,
    onTextLayout: (TextLayoutResult) -> Unit = {},
    style: TextStyle = LocalTextStyle.current,
)

Parameters


text	The text to be displayed.
modifier	`Modifier` to apply to this layout node.
color	`Color` to apply to the text. If `Color.Unspecified`, and `style` has no color set, this will be `LocalContentColor`.
fontSize	The size of glyphs to use when painting the text. See `TextStyle.fontSize`.
fontStyle	The typeface variant to use when drawing the letters (e.g., italic). See `TextStyle.fontStyle`.
fontWeight	The typeface thickness to use when painting the text (e.g., `FontWeight.Bold`).
fontFamily	The font family to be used when rendering the text. See `TextStyle.fontFamily`.
letterSpacing	The amount of space to add between each letter. See `TextStyle.letterSpacing`.
textDecoration	The decorations to paint on the text (e.g., an underline). See `TextStyle.textDecoration`.
textAlign	The alignment of the text within the lines of the paragraph. See `TextStyle.textAlign`.
lineHeight	Line height for the `Paragraph` in `TextUnit` unit, e.g. SP or EM. See `TextStyle.lineHeight`.
overflow	How visual overflow should be handled.
softWrap	Whether the text should break at soft line breaks. If false, the glyphs in the text will be positioned as if there was unlimited horizontal space. If `softWrap` is false, `overflow` and TextAlign may have unexpected effects.
maxLines	An optional maximum number of lines for the text to span, wrapping if necessary. If the text exceeds the given number of lines, it will be truncated according to `overflow` and `softWrap`. If it is not null, then it must be greater than zero.
minLines	The minimum height in terms of minimum number of visible lines. It is required that 1 <= `minLines` <= `maxLines`.
onTextLayout	Callback that is executed when a new text layout is calculated. A `TextLayoutResult` object that callback provides contains paragraph information, size of the text, baselines and other details. The callback can be used to add additional decoration or functionality to the text. For example, to draw selection around the text.
style	Style configuration for the text such as color, font, line height etc.

Android

@Composable
public fun Text(

    fontSize: TextUnit = TextUnit.Unspecified,
    fontStyle: FontStyle? = null,
    fontWeight: FontWeight? = null,
    fontFamily: FontFamily? = null,
    letterSpacing: TextUnit = TextUnit.Unspecified,
    textDecoration: TextDecoration? = null,
    textAlign: TextAlign? = LocalTextConfiguration.current.textAlign,
    lineHeight: TextUnit = TextUnit.Unspecified,
    overflow: TextOverflow = LocalTextConfiguration.current.overflow,
    softWrap: Boolean = true,
    maxLines: Int = LocalTextConfiguration.current.maxLines,
    minLines: Int = 1,
    inlineContent: Map<String, InlineTextContent> = mapOf(),

Parameters
