AppCard
Overview

Opinionated Wear Material Card that offers a specific 5 slot layout to show information about an application, e.g. a notification. AppCards are designed to show interactive elements from multiple applications. They will typically be used by the system UI, e.g. for showing a list of notifications from different applications. However it could also be adapted by individual application developers to show information about different parts of their application.
The first row of the layout has three slots, 1) a small optional application Image or Icon of size CardDefaults.AppImageSizexCardDefaults.AppImageSize dp, 2) an application name (emphasised with the CardColors.appColor() color), it is expected to be a short start aligned Text composable, and 3) the time that the application activity has occurred which will be shown on the top row of the card, this is expected to be an end aligned Text composable showing a time relevant to the contents of the Card.
The second row shows a title, this is expected to be a single row of start aligned Text.
The rest of the Card contains the content which can be either Text or an Image. If the content is text it can be single or multiple line and is expected to be Top and Start aligned.
If more than one composable is provided in the content slot it is the responsibility of the caller to determine how to layout the contents, e.g. provide either a row or a column.
Example of an AppCard with icon, title, time and two lines of body text:

Parameters
Name | Description |
---|---|
onClick | Will be called when the user clicks the card |
appName | A slot for displaying the application name, expected to be a single line of start aligned text of Typography.title3 |
time | A slot for displaying the time relevant to the contents of the card, expected to be a short piece of end aligned text. |
title | A slot for displaying the title of the card, expected to be one or two lines of start aligned text of Typography.button |
modifier | Modifier to be applied to the card |
enabled | Controls the enabled state of the card. When false, this card will not be clickable and there will be no ripple effect on click. Wear cards do not have any specific elevation or alpha differences when not enabled - they are simply not clickable. |
appImage | A slot for a small (CardDefaults.AppImageSizexCardDefaults.AppImageSize ) Image associated with the application. |
backgroundPainter | A painter used to paint the background of the card. A card will normally have a gradient background. Use CardDefaults.cardBackgroundPainter() to obtain an appropriate painter |
contentColor | The default color to use for content() slot unless explicitly set. |
appColor | The default color to use for appName() and appImage() slots unless explicitly set. |
timeColor | The default color to use for time() slot unless explicitly set. |
titleColor | The default color to use for title() slot unless explicitly set |
