I want to change the color of the SelectionContainer but I don't see any option in the parameter section to make a change here. I've also took a look at the internal code and I couldn't see anything related with colors. Docs doesn't mention nothing about this.
Question: Is there any way to change the selection color or isn't that possible?
CodePudding user response:
You can use TextSelectionColors to set the color of the selection.
To do this you need to wrap your Text
in a CompositionLocalProvider
. The colors used for text selection by text and text field components are provided by LocalTextSelectionColors.current.
You can provide a custom TextSelectionColors
using:
val customTextSelectionColors = TextSelectionColors(
handleColor = Red,
backgroundColor = Red.copy(alpha = 0.4f)
)
CompositionLocalProvider(LocalTextSelectionColors provides customTextSelectionColors) {
SelectionContainer {
Text(
text = coin.description,
style = MaterialTheme.typography.body2
)
}
}
