Code Example

SwipeToDismissListItems

@OptIn(ExperimentalMaterialApi::class
@Composable
@Sampled
fun SwipeToDismissListItems() {
    // This is an example of a list of dismissible items, similar to what you would see in an
    // email app. Swiping left reveals a 'delete' icon and swiping right reveals a 'done' icon.
    // The background will start as grey, but once the dismiss threshold is reached, the colour
    // will animate to red if you're swiping left or green if you're swiping right. When you let
    // go, the item will animate out of the way if you're swiping left (like deleting an email) or
    // back to its default position if you're swiping right (like marking an email as read/unread).
