What's Text?
If you are an Android developer, it's a TextView.
If you new to Android programming, it's just a label or paragraph.
1. Text Size
Change the text size using fontSize parameter
@Composable
fun TextWithSize(label : String, size : TextUnit) {
Text(label, fontSize = size)
}
//TextWithSize("Big text",40.sp) -- call this method 2. Text Color
Change the text color using color parameter
@Composable
fun ColorText() {
Text("Color text", color = Color.Blue)
}3. Bold Text
Use fontWeight parameter to making the bold text
@Composable
fun BoldText() {
Text("Bold text", fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold)
}4. Italic Text
Use fontStyle paramter to making the italic text
@Composable
fun ItalicText() {
Text("Italic Text", fontStyle = FontStyle.Italic)
}5. Maximum number of lines
To limit the number of visible lines in a Text composable, set the maxLines parameter:
@Composable
fun MaxLines() {
Text("hello ".repeat(50), maxLines = 2)
}6. Text Overflow
When limiting a long text, you may want to indicate a text overflow, which is only shown if the displayed text is truncated. To do so, set the textOverflow parameter:
@Composable
fun OverflowedText() {
Text("Hello Compose ".repeat(50), maxLines = 2, overflow = TextOverflow.Ellipsis)
}7. Selectable Text
By default, composables aren’t selectable, which means by default users can't select and copy text from your app. To enable text selection, you need to wrap your text elements with a SelectionContainer composable:
@Composable
fun SelectableText() {
SelectionContainer {
Text("This text is selectable")
}
}Output
