The TextButton
in Android Jetpack Compose is a composable function that allows you to create text-only buttons, providing a clean and simple appearance while maintaining functionality for user interactions.
@Composable
fun BasicTextButtonExample() {
TextButton(onClick = { /* Do something */ }) {
Text("Click Me")
}
}
This code creates a basic TextButton with the text "Click Me". When clicked, it performs the action defined in the onClick
lambda.
@Composable
fun StyledTextButtonExample() {
TextButton(
onClick = { /* Do something */ },
colors = ButtonDefaults.textButtonColors(contentColor = Color.Red)
) {
Text("Styled Button")
}
}
This code creates a styled TextButton with red text color.
@Composable
fun IconTextButtonExample() {
TextButton(onClick = { /* Do something */ }) {
Icon(Icons.Default.ThumbUp, contentDescription = null)
Spacer(modifier = Modifier.size(ButtonDefaults.IconSpacing))
Text("Like")
}
}
This code creates a TextButton with an icon (a thumbs up) and text next to it.
@Composable
fun CustomElevationTextButtonExample() {
TextButton(
onClick = { /* Do something */ },
elevation = ButtonDefaults.buttonElevation(defaultElevation = 8.dp)
) {
Text("Custom Elevation Button")
}
}
This code creates a TextButton with a custom elevation of 8.dp, giving it a raised appearance.
