SecondaryScrollableTabRow

Component in Material 3 Compose

Material Design scrollable tabs.

Secondary tabs are used within a content area to further separate related content and establish hierarchy. When a set of tabs cannot fit on screen, use scrollable tabs. Scrollable tabs can use longer text labels and a larger number of tabs. They are best used for browsing on touch interfaces.

A scrollable tab row contains a row of [Tab]s, and displays an indicator underneath the currently selected tab. A scrollable tab row places its tabs offset from the starting edge, and allows scrolling to tabs that are placed off screen. For a fixed tab row that does not allow scrolling, and evenly places its tabs, see [SecondaryTabRow].

Parameters

name	description
selectedTabIndex	the index of the currently selected tab
modifier	the [Modifier] to be applied to this tab row
scrollState	the [ScrollState] of this tab row
containerColor	the color used for the background of this tab row. Use [Color.Transparent] to have no color.
contentColor	the preferred color for content inside this tab row. Defaults to either the matching content color for [containerColor], or to the current [LocalContentColor] if [containerColor] is not a color from the theme.
edgePadding	the padding between the starting and ending edge of the scrollable tab row, and the tabs inside the row. This padding helps inform the user that this tab row can be scrolled, unlike a [TabRow].
indicator	the indicator that represents which tab is currently selected. By default this will be a [TabRowDefaults.SecondaryIndicator], using a [TabRowDefaults.tabIndicatorOffset] modifier to animate its position. Note that this indicator will be forced to fill up the entire tab row, so you should use [TabRowDefaults.tabIndicatorOffset] or similar to animate the actual drawn indicator inside this space, and provide an offset from the start.
divider	the divider displayed at the bottom of the tab row. This provides a layer of separation between the tab row and the content displayed underneath.
tabs	the tabs inside this tab row. Typically this will be multiple [Tab]s. Each element inside this lambda will be measured and placed evenly across the row, each taking up equal space.
