## API Reference

### ActionCard

> Source set: Android

```kotlin
@Composable
public fun ActionCard(
    action: @Composable () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    title: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
    subtitle: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
    header: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
    leadingIcon: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
    trailingIcon: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
    shape: Shape = CardDefaults.shape,
    color: Color = GlimmerTheme.colors.surface,
    contentColor: Color = calculateContentColor(color),
    border: BorderStroke? = SurfaceDefaults.border(),
    contentPadding: PaddingValues = CardDefaults.contentPadding,
    content: @Composable () -> Unit,
)
```

#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| action | the action for this card. This should be a [Button](/jetpack-compose/androidx.xr.glimmer/glimmer/components/Button), and represents the action performed when a user interacts with this card. The action is placed overlapping the bottom edge of the card. |
| modifier | the [Modifier](/jetpack-compose/androidx.compose.ui/ui/interfaces/Modifier) to be applied to the outer layout containing the card and action |
| title | optional title to be placed above `subtitle` and `content`, below `header` |
| subtitle | optional subtitle to be placed above `content`, below `title` |
| header | optional header image to be placed at the top of the card. This image should typically fill the max width available, for example using [androidx.compose.ui.layout.ContentScale.FillWidth](/jetpack-compose/androidx.compose.foundation/foundation/functions/fillWidth). Headers are constrained to a maximum aspect ratio (1.6) to avoid taking up too much vertical space, so using a modifier such as [androidx.compose.foundation.layout.fillMaxSize](/jetpack-compose/androidx.xr.compose/compose/functions/fillMaxSize) will result in an image that fills the maximum aspect ratio. |
| leadingIcon | optional leading icon to be placed before `content`. This is typically an [Icon](/jetpack-compose/androidx.xr.glimmer/glimmer/components/Icon) tinted with `contentColor` by default. |
| trailingIcon | optional trailing icon to be placed after `content`. This is typically an [Icon](/jetpack-compose/androidx.xr.glimmer/glimmer/components/Icon) tinted with `contentColor` by default. |
| shape | the [Shape](/jetpack-compose/androidx.compose.ui/ui-graphics/interfaces/Shape) used to clip this card, and also used to draw the background and border |
| color | background color of this card |
| contentColor | content color used by components inside `content`, `title`, `subtitle`, `leadingIcon`, and `trailingIcon`. |
| border | the border to draw around this card |
| contentPadding | the spacing values to apply internally between the container and the content. Note that there is additional padding applied around the content / text / icons inside a card, this only affects the outermost content padding. |
| content | the main content / body text to display inside this card. This is recommended to be limited to 10 lines of text. |

## Code Examples

        Text("This is a card with a title and action")
    }
}
