HorizontalPageIndicator

Android

Component in Wear Material Compose

A horizontal indicator for a Pager, representing the currently active page and total pages drawn using a [Shape]. It shows up to 6 pages on the screen and doesn't represent the exact page index if there are more than 6 pages. Instead of showing the exact position, [HorizontalPageIndicator] shows a half-size indicator on the left or on the right if there are more pages.

Here's how different positions 0..10 might be visually represented: "X" is selected item, "O" and "o" full and half size items respectively.

O X O O O o - 2nd position out of 10. There are no more items on the left but more on the right o O O O X o - might be 6, 7 or 8 out of 10, as there are more possible items on the left and on the right o O O O X O - is 9 out of 10, as there're no more items on the right

[HorizontalPageIndicator] may be linear or curved, depending on [indicatorStyle]. By default it depends on the screen shape of the device - for circular screens it will be curved, whilst for square screens it will be linear.

This component also allows customising the [indicatorShape], which defines how the indicator is visually represented.

    val maxPages = 9
    var selectedPage by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
    var finalValue by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }

    val animatedSelectedPage by
        animateFloatAsState(

        ) {
            finalValue = it.toInt()
        }

    val pageIndicatorState: PageIndicatorState = remember {
        object : PageIndicatorState {
            override val pageOffset: Float
                get() = animatedSelectedPage - finalValue

            override val selectedPage: Int
                get() = finalValue

            override val pageCount: Int
                get() = maxPages
        }
    }

    Box(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize().padding(6.dp)) {
