fillMaxHeight

Common

Modifier in Compose Foundation Layout

Have the content fill (possibly only partially) the [Constraints.maxHeight] of the incoming measurement constraints, by setting the [minimum height][Constraints.minHeight] and the [maximum height][Constraints.maxHeight] to be equal to the [maximum height][Constraints.maxHeight] multiplied by [fraction]. Note that, by default, the [fraction] is 1, so the modifier will make the content fill the whole available height. If the incoming maximum height is [Constraints.Infinity] this modifier will have no effect.
