Create Toggle Button Group in Jetpack Compose without Radio Buttons

Time:11-01

I am trying to put a button toggle group in my project that behaves similarly to a radio button group, but does not look like a radio button group (ie when one button is selected, the others are deselected).

I followed a radio button pattern I found online, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Is there a way to do this? I've gotten to a point where I have the buttons in the place I want them, but they're both disabled.

MovieSpotterTheme() {
                Card(
                    modifier = Modifier
                        .fillMaxWidth()
                ) {
                    @Composable
                    fun MaterialButtonToggleGroup() {
                        var selected by remember { mutableStateOf("Android") }

                        val buttonGroup = listOf("Popular Movies", "Search Movies")

                     
                        val onSelectedChange = { text: String ->
                            selected = text
                        }
                        Row(
                            horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.SpaceEvenly
                        ) {
                            buttonGroup.forEach { text ->
                                Row(Modifier
                                    .selectable(
                                        selected = (text == selected),
                                        onClick = { onSelectedChange(text) }
                                    )
                                    .padding(horizontal = 16.dp)
                                ) {
                                    Button(
                                        enabled = (text == selected),
                                        onClick = { onSelectedChange(text) }
                                    ) {
                                        Column(
                                            horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
                                        ) {
                                            Text(
                                                text = text,
                                                style = MaterialTheme.typography.body1.merge(),
                                                modifier = Modifier.padding(horizontal = 16.dp)
                                            )
                                        }
                                    }
                                }

            }
