Filled Card in Android Jetpack Compose

Android Jetpack Compose – Filled Card

In this tutorial, we shall learn how to display a Filled Card composable in Android Jetpack Compose, where the card container is filled with a specific color.

A filled card is a card composable where the card container is filled with a color.

For example, in the above screenshot we have set the card container color with a specific color value using colors parameter of the Card composable, as shown in the following.

Card(
    colors = CardDefaults.cardColors(
        containerColor = Color.hsl(141f, 0.7f, 0.7f)
    ),
)

Now, we shall take an example Android application, that displays a Filled Card composable with some content, and filled with a color of Color.hsl(141f, 0.7f, 0.7f).

import com.example.myapplication.ui.theme.MyApplicationTheme

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            MyApplicationTheme {
                Column(
                    horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally,
                    modifier = Modifier
                        .fillMaxSize()
                        .padding(20.dp),
                ) {
                    FilledCardExample()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

@Composable
fun FilledCardExample() {
    Card(
        colors = CardDefaults.cardColors(
            containerColor = Color.hsl(141f, 0.7f, 0.7f)
        ),
        modifier = Modifier
            .size(width = 240.dp, height = 200.dp)
    ) {
        Column(
            modifier = Modifier
                .padding(16.dp)
                .fillMaxWidth()
        ) {
            Text(
                text = "Card Title",
                color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.primary
            )
            Spacer(modifier = Modifier.height(8.dp))
            Text(
                text = "This is some sample text inside the card. You can add more content here.",
                color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.onSurface
            )
        }
    }
}
