IconButton

Common

Component in Material Compose

IconButton is a clickable icon, used to represent actions. An IconButton has an overall minimum touch target size of 48 x 48dp, to meet accessibility guidelines. [content] is centered inside the IconButton.

This component is typically used inside an App Bar for the navigation icon / actions. See App Bar documentation for samples of this.

[content] should typically be an [Icon], using an icon from [androidx.compose.material.icons.Icons]. If using a custom icon, note that the typical size for the internal icon is 24 x 24 dp.
