Jetpack Compose - Make Image scale to the available size in Column/Row

Time:12-25

Consider the following image:

enter image description here

I have a Column that has an Image together with another Column that has some Text elements. What I'm trying to do is to have the Image scale uniformly to the available space. I just can't make it work.

Column(
    modifier = Modifier
        .fillMaxSize()
        .background(Color.Cyan)
        .padding(horizontal = 16.dp),
    verticalArrangement = Arrangement.SpaceEvenly
) {
    Image(
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
        painter = painterResource(R.drawable.rocket_boy),
        contentDescription = null,
        contentScale = ContentScale.Fit
    )
    Column(
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
        horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
    ) {
        repeat(20) {
            Text(text = "${it}")
        }
    }
}

One of the things that I tried was setting the size of the Image to fillMaxSize and the weight of the second Column to 1f, but it didn't do anything. Maybe I need to have the size of the second Column fixed? Any help is very appreciated.

It seems to your image size is less than the screen max width, for that reason the container of the image fill the width, but the image remains small, if you fill the height on the image it scales correctly but the image container fills all space leaving below the list. You could try setting and aspect ratio to the modifier to prevent container from filling all available space:

...
val painter = painterResource(id = R.drawable.ic_dismiss_24)
Image(
  modifier = Modifier
                .aspectRatio(ratio = painter.intrinsicSize.height / 
  painter.intrinsicSize.width)
                .fillMaxWidth()
                .fillMaxHeight(),
  painter = painter,
  contentDescription = null,
  contentScale = ContentScale.Fit
)
...

result

You haven't used Modifier.weight on the correct child. It should be applied to the view, which you need to fill the rest of the parent.

The parent will divide the vertical space remaining after measuring unweighted child elements and distribute it according to this weight.

Image(
    modifier = Modifier.weight(1f),
    painter = painterResource(R.drawable.my_image_1),
    contentDescription = null,
    contentScale = ContentScale.Fit
)
Column(
    horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
) {
    repeat(20) {
        Text(text = "${it}")
    }
}

Couldn't get it work right using a Column, but I succeeded using a ConstraintLayout and Nestor's help with the aspectRatio.

ConstraintLayout(
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()
) {
    val (button, text) = createRefs()

    val painter = painterResource(R.drawable.rocket_boy)
    Image(
        modifier = Modifier
            .aspectRatio(ratio = painter.intrinsicSize.width /
                    painter.intrinsicSize.height)
            .padding(16.dp)
            .constrainAs(text) {
                top.linkTo(parent.top)
                bottom.linkTo(button.top)
                height = Dimension.preferredWrapContent
                width = Dimension.preferredWrapContent
                start.linkTo(parent.start)
                end.linkTo(parent.end)
            },
        painter = painter,
        contentDescription = null,
        contentScale = ContentScale.Fit
    )

    Column(Modifier.constrainAs(button) {
        bottom.linkTo(parent.bottom, margin = 16.dp)
        top.linkTo(text.bottom)
        start.linkTo(parent.start)
        end.linkTo(parent.end)
        height = Dimension.wrapContent
    }) {
        repeat(5) {
            Text(text = "$it")
        }
    }
}

But if someone thinks that it can still be done with a Column instead of a ConstraintLayout, he can post an answer and I may accept it.
