Answer from AI

In Jetpack Compose, various layout components are used to arrange elements. The main common schemes are:

  • Column — vertical arrangement of elements one below the other.
  • Row — horizontal arrangement of elements in a row.
  • Box — overlays elements on top of each other, like a container with absolute positioning.
  • LazyColumn and LazyRow — for lists with lazy loading of elements (similar to RecyclerView).

Each of these layout components allows managing alignment, padding, and size of child elements.

Example of using Column:

Column(
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
    verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(8.dp)
) {
    Text("First element")
    Text("Second element")
}
