padding

padding

public fun Modifier.padding(
    start: Dp = 0.dp,
    top: Dp = 0.dp,
    end: Dp = 0.dp,
    bottom: Dp = 0.dp,
): Modifier

Apply additional space along each edge of the content in Dp: start, top, end and bottom. The start and end edges will be determined by the current LayoutDirection. Padding is applied before content measurement and takes precedence; content may only be as large as the remaining space.

Negative padding is not permitted — it will cause IllegalArgumentException. See Modifier.offset.

Example usage:

padding

public fun Modifier.padding(horizontal: Dp = 0.dp, vertical: Dp = 0.dp): Modifier

Apply horizontal dp space along the left and right edges of the content, and vertical dp space along the top and bottom edges. Padding is applied before content measurement and takes precedence; content may only be as large as the remaining space.

Negative padding is not permitted — it will cause IllegalArgumentException. See Modifier.offset.

Example usage:

padding

public fun Modifier.padding(all: Dp): Modifier

Apply all dp of additional space along each edge of the content, left, top, right and bottom. Padding is applied before content measurement and takes precedence; content may only be as large as the remaining space.

Negative padding is not permitted — it will cause IllegalArgumentException. See Modifier.offset.

Example usage:

padding

public fun Modifier.padding(paddingValues: PaddingValues): Modifier

Apply PaddingValues to the component as additional space along each edge of the content's left, top, right and bottom. Padding is applied before content measurement and takes precedence; content may only be as large as the remaining space.

Negative padding is not permitted — it will cause IllegalArgumentException. See Modifier.offset.
