ScrollIndicator

Android

Component in Wear Material 3 Compose

A composable that displays a visual indicator of scrolling progress within a scrollable container.

Creates a [ScrollIndicator] based on the values in a [ScrollState] object. e.g. a [Column] implementing [Modifier.verticalScroll] provides a [ScrollState].

To comply with Wear Material Design guidelines, this composable should be aligned to the center end of the screen using Alignment.CenterEnd, such as by setting modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.CenterEnd). This way, the [ScrollIndicator] will appear on the right in Ltr orientation and on the left in Rtl orientation.

It detects if the screen is round or square and draws itself as a curve or line.

For more information, see the Scroll indicators guide.

Installation

dependencies {
   implementation("androidx.wear.compose:compose-material3:1.0.0-alpha27")
}

Overloads

@Composable
fun ScrollIndicator(
    state: ScrollState,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    reverseDirection: Boolean = false,
    positionAnimationSpec: AnimationSpec<Float> = ScrollIndicatorDefaults.PositionAnimationSpec
)

Parameters

namedescription
stateThe scrollState to use as the basis for the ScrollIndicatorState.
modifierThe modifier to be applied to the component - usually set to Modifier.align(Alignment.CenterEnd).
reverseDirectionReverses direction of ScrollIndicator if true
positionAnimationSpec[AnimationSpec] for position animation. The Position animation is used for animating changes to the scroll size and position. To disable this animation [snap] AnimationSpec should be passed instead.
@Composable
fun ScrollIndicator(
    state: ScalingLazyListState,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    reverseDirection: Boolean = false,
    positionAnimationSpec: AnimationSpec<Float> = ScrollIndicatorDefaults.PositionAnimationSpec
)

Parameters

namedescription
statethe [ScalingLazyListState] to use as the basis for the ScrollIndicatorState.
modifierThe modifier to be applied to the component
reverseDirectionReverses direction of ScrollIndicator if true
positionAnimationSpec[AnimationSpec] for position animation. The Position animation is used for animating changes to the scroll size and position. To disable this animation [snap] AnimationSpec should be passed instead.

fun ScrollIndicator(
    state: LazyListState,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    reverseDirection: Boolean = false,
