SwipeToDismissBox

Composable Component

Wear Material 3 SwipeToDismissBox that handles the swipe-to-dismiss gesture. Takes a single slot for the background (only displayed during the swipe gesture) and the foreground content.

Android
@Composable
public fun SwipeToDismissBox(
    state: SwipeToDismissBoxState,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    backgroundScrimColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background,
    contentScrimColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background,
    backgroundKey: Any = SwipeToDismissKeys.Background,
    contentKey: Any = SwipeToDismissKeys.Content,
    userSwipeEnabled: Boolean = true,
    content: @Composable BoxScope.(isBackground: Boolean) -> Unit,
)

Parameters

stateState containing information about ongoing swipe or animation.
modifierModifier for this component.
backgroundScrimColorColor for background scrim.
contentScrimColorColor used for the scrim over the content composable during the swipe gesture.
backgroundKeykey which identifies the content currently composed in the content block when isBackground == true. Provide the backgroundKey if your background content will be displayed as a foreground after the swipe animation ends (as is common when SwipeToDismissBox is used for the navigation). This allows remembered state to be correctly moved between background and foreground.
contentKeykey which identifies the content currently composed in the content block when isBackground == false. See backgroundKey.
userSwipeEnabledWhether the swipe gesture is enabled. (e.g. when there is no background screen, set userSwipeEnabled = false)
contentSlot for content, with the isBackground parameter enabling content to be displayed behind the foreground content - the background is normally hidden, is shown behind a scrim during the swipe gesture, and is shown without scrim once the finger passes the swipe-to-dismiss threshold.
Android
@Composable
public fun SwipeToDismissBox(
    onDismissed: () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    state: SwipeToDismissBoxState = rememberSwipeToDismissBoxState(),

    contentScrimColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background,
    backgroundKey: Any = SwipeToDismissKeys.Background,
    contentKey: Any = SwipeToDismissKeys.Content,
    userSwipeEnabled: Boolean = true,
    content: @Composable BoxScope.(isBackground: Boolean) -> Unit,
)

Parameters

onDismissedExecutes when the swipe to dismiss has completed.
modifierModifier for this component.
stateState containing information about ongoing swipe or animation.
backgroundScrimColorColor for background scrim.
contentScrimColorColor used for the scrim over the content composable during the swipe gesture.
backgroundKeykey which identifies the content currently composed in the content block when isBackground == true. Provide the backgroundKey if your background content will be displayed as a foreground after the swipe animation ends (as is common when SwipeToDismissBox is used for the navigation). This allows remembered state to be correctly moved between background and foreground.
contentKeykey which identifies the content currently composed in the content block when isBackground == false. See backgroundKey.
userSwipeEnabledWhether the swipe gesture is enabled. (e.g. when there is no background screen, set userSwipeEnabled = false)

EdgeSwipeForSwipeToDismiss

@Composable

    val state = rememberSwipeToDismissBoxState()
    // When using Modifier.edgeSwipeToDismiss, it is required that the element on which the
    // modifier applies exists within a SwipeToDismissBox which shares the same state.
    SwipeToDismissBox(state = state, onDismissed = navigateBack) { isBackground ->
        val horizontalScrollState = rememberScrollState(0)
        if (isBackground) {
            Box(
                modifier =
                    Modifier.fillMaxSize().background(MaterialTheme.colorScheme.secondaryContainer)
            )
