Component in Compose Foundation

Image

Common

A composable that lays out and draws a given [ImageBitmap]. This will attempt to size the composable according to the [ImageBitmap]'s given width and height. However, an optional [Modifier] parameter can be provided to adjust sizing or draw additional content (ex. background). Any unspecified dimension will leverage the [ImageBitmap]'s size as a minimum constraint.

Parameters

namedescription
bitmapThe [ImageBitmap] to draw
contentDescriptiontext used by accessibility services to describe what this image represents. This should always be provided unless this image is used for decorative purposes, and does not represent a meaningful action that a user can take. This text should be localized, such as by using [androidx.compose.ui.res.stringResource] or similar
modifierModifier used to adjust the layout algorithm or draw decoration content (ex. background)
alignmentOptional alignment parameter used to place the [ImageBitmap] in the given bounds defined by the width and height
contentScaleOptional scale parameter used to determine the aspect ratio scaling to be used if the bounds are a different size from the intrinsic size of the [ImageBitmap]
alphaOptional opacity to be applied to the [ImageBitmap] when it is rendered onscreen
colorFilterOptional ColorFilter to apply for the [ImageBitmap] when it is rendered onscreen

alphaOptional opacity to be applied to the [ImageBitmap] when it is rendered onscreen
colorFilterOptional ColorFilter to apply for the [ImageBitmap] when it is rendered onscreen
filterQualitySampling algorithm applied to the [bitmap] when it is scaled and drawn into the destination. The default is [FilterQuality.Low] which scales using a bilinear sampling algorithm

Code Examples

ImageSample

@Composable
@Sampled
fun ImageSample() {
    val ImageBitmap = createTestImage()
    // Lays out and draws an image sized to the dimensions of the ImageBitmap
    Image(bitmap = ImageBitmap, contentDescription = "Localized description")
}

BitmapPainterSubsectionSample

@Composable
@Sampled
fun BitmapPainterSubsectionSample() {
    val ImageBitmap = createTestImage()
    // Lays out and draws an image sized to the rectangular subsection of the ImageBitmap
    Image(
        painter = BitmapPainter(
            ImageBitmap,
            IntOffset(10, 12),
            IntSize(50, 60)
        ),
        contentDescription = "Localized description"
    )
}

BitmapPainterSample

@Composable
@Sampled

    val customPainter = remember {
        object : Painter() {

            override val intrinsicSize: Size
                get() = Size(100.0f, 100.0f)

            override fun DrawScope.onDraw() {
