Scaffold
allows you to implement a UI with the basic Material Design layout structure. Scaffold
provides slots for the most common top-level Material components, such as TopAppBar
, BottomAppBar
, FloatingActionButton
, and Drawer
.
Something like:
val scaffoldState = rememberScaffoldState()
// Create a coroutineScope for the animation
val coroutineScope = rememberCoroutineScope()
Scaffold(
scaffoldState = scaffoldState,
drawerContent = { Text("Drawer content") },
bottomBar = {
BottomAppBar(cutoutShape = CircleShape) {
IconButton(
onClick = {
coroutineScope.launch { scaffoldState.drawerState.open() }
}
) {
Icon(Icons.Filled.Menu, contentDescription = "....")
}
}
},
floatingActionButton = {
ExtendedFloatingActionButton(
text = { Text("Action") },
onClick = { /* .... */ }
)
},
floatingActionButtonPosition = FabPosition.Center,
isFloatingActionButtonDocked = true,
content = { innerPadding ->
//....
}
)

scaffold is needed to create a skeleton structure on the ui side but Is scaffold always necessary? In which situations do we use or not use? – NewPartizal Mar 03 '23 at 08:39
