}Customizing Chip from code
chip.text = "My awesome Chip" // Set Chip label chip.chipTextColor = chipTextColor // Set Chip label color chip.chipBackgroundColor = chipBackgroundColor //Set custom background color chip.chipSelectedBackgroundColor = chipSelectedBackgroundColor //Set custom background color when selected chip.chipIcon = myIconDrawable //Set Icon Drawable for Chip chip.chipIconBitmap = myIconBitmap //Set Icon Bitmap for Chip chip.closable = true //Set Chip has close button chip.chipCloseColor = chipCloseColor //Set custom color for close button chip.chipSelectedCloseColor = chipSelectedCloseColor //Set custom color for close button on selected state chip.selectable = false //Set Chip has selection button chip.chipSelected = true // Set Chip selected chip.chipSelectedTextColor = chipSelectedTextColor //Set custom color for label when selected chip.cornerRadius = 5 // Set corner radius of your Chip chip.strokeSize = 2 // Set width of stroke chip.strokeColor = strokeColor // Set stroke color for your Chip chip.selectedStrokeSize = 2 // Set width of stroke when selected chip.selectedStrokeColor = selectedStrokeColor // Set stroke color for your Chip when selected chip.setIconText(text, iconTextColor, iconTextBackgroundColor); // Set Chip icon text, text color and background color (in case of Kotlin iconTextColor and iconTextBackgroundColor have default value of 0) chip.chipHorizontalPadding = 10 // Set horizontal padding for chip
For Jetpack Compose version
setContent {
Box(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()) {
MaterialChip(
text = "Some Text",
chipIcon = ChipIconRes(icon = R.drawable.android), // ChipIconBitmap or ChipIconDrawable
interaction = ChipInteraction.Closable, // Selectable, SelectableWithoutIcon or None
strokeSize = 1.dp,
selectedStrokeSize = 2.dp,
strokeColor = Color.Red,
selectedStrokeColor = Color.Blue,
onSelectClick = { selected ->
// your code here
},
onIconClick = {
// your code here
},
onChipClick = {
// your code here
},
onCloseClick = {
// your code here
}
)
}
}Also there is a MaterialChipGroup available for Jetpack Compose version
setContent {
Box(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()) {
MaterialChipGroup(
items = listOf("Chip1", "Chip2", "Chip3"),
createTitle = { it }, //returns a String for the title
initialSelectedElementIndex = 1, // default value is -1 (means nothing is selected)
onItemSelected = { position, element ->
// do something
},
// the rest is for Chip appearance
interaction = ChipInteraction.Selectable,
strokeSize = 1.dp,
selectedStrokeSize = 2.dp,
strokeColor = Color.Red,
selectedStrokeColor = Color.Blue,
backgroundColor = Color.Red,
selectedBackgroundColor = Color.Blue,
)
}
