custom layout

//implement custom column
@Composable
fun MyOwnColumn(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    content: @Composable () -> Unit
) {
    Layout(
        modifier = modifier,
        content = content
    ) { measurables, constraints ->
        // Don't constrain child views further, measure them with given constraints
        // List of measured children
        val placeables = measurables.map { measurable ->
            // Measure each child
            measurable.measure(constraints)
        }

        // Track the y co-ord we have placed children up to
        var yPosition = 0

        // Set the size of the layout as big as it can
        layout(constraints.maxWidth, constraints.maxHeight) {
            // Place children in the parent layout
            placeables.forEach { placeable ->
                // Position item on the screen
                placeable.placeRelative(x = 0, y = yPosition)

                // Record the y co-ord placed up to
                yPosition += placeable.height
            }
        }
    }
}


use it like,
@Composable
fun BodyContent(modifier: Modifier = Modifier) {
    MyOwnColumn(modifier.padding(8.dp)) {
        Text("MyOwnColumn")
        Text("places items")
        Text("vertically.")
        Text("We've done it by hand!")
    }
}
