Installation

dependencies {
   implementation("androidx.wear.compose:compose-material3:1.0.0-alpha23")
}

Overloads

@Composable
fun SwipeToDismissBox(
    state: SwipeToDismissBoxState,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    backgroundScrimColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background,
    contentScrimColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background,
    backgroundKey: Any = SwipeToDismissKeys.Background,
    contentKey: Any = SwipeToDismissKeys.Content,
    userSwipeEnabled: Boolean = true,
    content: @Composable BoxScope.(isBackground: Boolean) -> Unit
)

Parameters

namedescription
stateState containing information about ongoing swipe or animation.
modifier[Modifier] for this component.
backgroundScrimColor[Color] for background scrim.
contentScrimColor[Color] used for the scrim over the content composable during the swipe gesture.
backgroundKey[key] which identifies the content currently composed in the [content] block when isBackground == true. Provide the backgroundKey if your background content will be displayed as a foreground after the swipe animation ends (as is common when [SwipeToDismissBox] is used for the navigation). This allows remembered state to be correctly moved between background and foreground.
contentKey[key] which identifies the content currently composed in the [content] block when isBackground == false. See [backgroundKey].
userSwipeEnabledWhether the swipe gesture is enabled. (e.g. when there is no background screen, set userSwipeEnabled = false)
contentSlot for content, with the isBackground parameter enabling content to be displayed behind the foreground content - the background is normally hidden, is shown behind a scrim during the swipe gesture, and is shown without scrim once the finger passes the swipe-to-dismiss threshold.
@Composable
fun SwipeToDismissBox(
    onDismissed: () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    state: SwipeToDismissBoxState = rememberSwipeToDismissBoxState(),
    backgroundScrimColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background,
    contentScrimColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background,
    backgroundKey: Any = SwipeToDismissKeys.Background,
    contentKey: Any = SwipeToDismissKeys.Content,
    userSwipeEnabled: Boolean = true,
    content: @Composable BoxScope.(isBackground: Boolean) -> Unit
)

Parameters

namedescription
onDismissedExecutes when the swipe to dismiss has completed.
modifier[Modifier] for this component.
stateState containing information about ongoing swipe or animation.
backgroundScrimColor[Color] for background scrim.
contentScrimColor[Color] used for the scrim over the content composable during the swipe gesture.
backgroundKey[key] which identifies the content currently composed in the [content] block when isBackground == true. Provide the backgroundKey if your background content will be displayed as a foreground after the swipe animation ends (as is common when [SwipeToDismissBox] is used for the navigation). This allows remembered state to be correctly moved between background and foreground.
contentKey[key] which identifies the content currently composed in the [content] block when isBackground == false. See [backgroundKey].
userSwipeEnabledWhether the swipe gesture is enabled. (e.g. when there is no background screen, set userSwipeEnabled = false)
contentSlot for content, with the isBackground parameter enabling content to be displayed behind the foreground content - the background is normally hidden, is shown behind a scrim during the swipe gesture, and is shown without scrim once the finger passes the swipe-to-dismiss threshold.
