IconButton

Android

Component in Wear Material 3 Compose

Wear Material [IconButton] is a circular, icon-only button with transparent background and no border. It offers a single slot to take icon or image content.

Set the size of the [IconButton] with Modifier.[touchTargetAwareSize] to ensure that the recommended minimum touch target size is available.

The recommended [IconButton] sizes are [IconButtonDefaults.DefaultButtonSize], [IconButtonDefaults.LargeButtonSize], [IconButtonDefaults.SmallButtonSize] and [IconButtonDefaults.ExtraSmallButtonSize].

Use [IconButtonDefaults.iconSizeFor] to determine the icon size for a given [IconButtonDefaults] size, or refer to icon sizes [IconButtonDefaults.SmallIconSize], [IconButtonDefaults.DefaultIconSize], [IconButtonDefaults.LargeButtonSize] directly.

[IconButton] can be enabled or disabled. A disabled button will not respond to click events.
