Last updated:

Installation

dependencies {
   implementation("androidx.wear.compose:compose-material:1.5.0-alpha04")
}

Overloads

@Composable
fun SwipeToDismissBox(
    state: androidx.wear.compose.foundation.SwipeToDismissBoxState,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    backgroundScrimColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colors.background,
    contentScrimColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colors.background,
    backgroundKey: Any = SwipeToDismissKeys.Background,
    contentKey: Any = SwipeToDismissKeys.Content,
    hasBackground: Boolean = true,
    content: @Composable BoxScope.(isBackground: Boolean) -> Unit
)

Parameters

namedescription
stateState containing information about ongoing swipe or animation.
modifierOptional [Modifier] for this component.
backgroundScrimColorColor for background scrim
contentScrimColorOptional [Color] used for the scrim over the content composable during the swipe gesture.
backgroundKeyOptional [key] which identifies the content currently composed in the [content] block when isBackground == true. Provide the backgroundKey if your background content will be displayed as a foreground after the swipe animation ends (as is common when [SwipeToDismissBox] is used for the navigation). This allows remembered state to be correctly moved between background and foreground.
contentSlot for content, with the isBackground parameter enabling content to be displayed behind the foreground content - the background is normally hidden, is shown behind a scrim during the swipe gesture, and is shown without scrim once the finger passes the swipe-to-dismiss threshold.

Code Examples

StatefulSwipeToDismissBox
