SwipeToReveal

Android

Component in Wear Material 3 Compose

[SwipeToReveal] Material composable. This adds the option to configure up to two additional actions on a Composable: a mandatory [SwipeToRevealScope.primaryAction] and an optional [SwipeToRevealScope.secondaryAction]. These actions are initially hidden and revealed only when the [content] is swiped. These additional actions can be triggered by clicking on them after they are revealed. [SwipeToRevealScope.primaryAction] will be triggered on full swipe of the [content].

For actions like "Delete", consider adding [SwipeToRevealScope.undoPrimaryAction] (displayed when the [SwipeToRevealScope.primaryAction] is activated). Adding undo composables allow users to undo the action that they just performed.

[SwipeToReveal] composable adds the [CustomAccessibilityAction]s using the labels from primary and secondary actions.
