Get started

This page describes how to implement basic Grid layouts.

Set up project

1. Add the androidx.compose.foundation.layout library to your project's lib.versions.toml.

   [versions]
   compose = "1.11.0-beta02"
   
   [libraries]
   androidx-compose-foundation-layout = { group = "androidx.compose.foundation", name = "foundation-layout", version.ref = "compose" }
   

2. Add the library dependency to your app's build.gradle.kts.

   dependencies {
       implementation(libs.androidx.compose.foundation.layout)
   }
   

Create a basic grid

The following example creates a basic 2x3 grid, with the columns and rows having a fixed size of 100.dp.

Grid(
    config = {
        repeat(2) {
            column(100.dp)
        }
        repeat(3) {
            row(100.dp)
        }
    }
) {
    Card1(containerColor = PastelRed)
    Card2(containerColor = PastelGreen)
    Card3(containerColor = PastelBlue)
    Card4(containerColor = PastelPink)
    Card5(containerColor = PastelOrange)
    Card6(containerColor = PastelYellow)
}
