In Android Jetpack Compose, the structures Row, Column, and Box are used for layout of interface elements, but they have different purposes:
-
Row — arranges child elements horizontally in a single line. Used when you need to align elements from left to right.
-
Column — arranges child elements vertically in a single column. Suitable for stacking elements from top to bottom.
-
Box — overlays elements on top of each other, allowing free positioning within the container. Used for creating complex layouts with overlaps or for placing elements on top of each other.
Example:
Row {
Text("First element")
Text("Second element")
}
Column {
Text("First element")
Text("Second element")
}
Box {
Text("Background")
Text("Text over background")
}
