systemGesturesPadding

Common
Android

Modifier in Compose Foundation Layout

Adds padding to accommodate the [system gestures][WindowInsets.Companion.systemGestures] insets.

Any insets consumed by other insets padding modifiers or [consumeWindowInsets] on a parent layout will be excluded from the padding. [WindowInsets.Companion.systemGestures] will be [consumed][consumeWindowInsets] for child layouts as well.

For example, if a parent layout uses [waterfallPadding], the area that the parent layout pads for the status bars will not be padded again by this [systemGesturesPadding] modifier.

When used, the [WindowInsets] will be consumed.
