Button

Android

Component in Wear Material 3 Compose

Base level Wear Material3 [Button] that offers a single slot to take any content. Used as the container for more opinionated [Button] components that take specific content such as icons and labels.

The [Button] is stadium-shaped by default and its standard height is designed to take 2 lines of text of [Typography.labelMedium] style. With localisation and/or large font sizes, the text can extend to a maximum of 3 lines in which case, the [Button] height adjusts to accommodate the contents.

[Button] takes the [ButtonDefaults.buttonColors] color scheme by default, with colored background, contrasting content color and no border. This is a high-emphasis button for the primary, most important or most common action on a screen.

Other recommended buttons with [ButtonColors] for different levels of emphasis are: [FilledTonalButton] which defaults to [ButtonDefaults.filledTonalButtonColors], [OutlinedButton] which defaults to [ButtonDefaults.outlinedButtonColors] and [ChildButton] which defaults to [ButtonDefaults.childButtonColors]. Buttons can also take an image background using [ButtonDefaults.imageBackgroundButtonColors].

Button can be enabled or disabled. A disabled button will not respond to click events.
