For mobile apps or websites, the cards are beautiful UI components that can be used in any project. In this blog post, let’s learn how to create a card in Android Jetpack Compose.
The card is a container with elevation and shadows. We can customize it by adding borders and border-radius. See the code snippet given below.
package com.example.myapplication
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.activity.ComponentActivity
import androidx.activity.compose.setContent
import androidx.compose.foundation.BorderStroke
import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.*
import androidx.compose.foundation.shape.RoundedCornerShape
import androidx.compose.material.*
import androidx.compose.runtime.Composable
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color
import androidx.compose.ui.tooling.preview.Preview
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.dp
import com.example.myapplication.ui.theme.MyApplicationTheme
class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContent {
MyApplicationTheme {
Surface(
color = MaterialTheme.colors.background
) {
Example()
}
}
}
}
}
@Composable
fun Example() {
Card(modifier = Modifier
.width(300.dp)
.height(100.dp).padding(20.dp),
elevation = 10.dp,
backgroundColor = Color.White,
border = BorderStroke(width = 2.dp, color = Color.Blue),
shape = RoundedCornerShape(10.dp)
) {
Text(text = "This is a Card", modifier = Modifier.padding(20.dp))
}
}
@Preview(showBackground = true)
@Composable
fun DefaultPreview() {
MyApplicationTheme {
Example()
}
}Following is the output.
That’s how you add cards in Jetpack Compose.
