Implementing Long press on Text Jetpack compose

Question

I have a LazyColumn of Text(). I've set clickable for Text() but it's equivalent to OnClickListner. Now I want to set an equivalent of setOnLongClickListener. How can I do that?

@Composable
fun MyText(name: String, modifier: Modifier = Modifier) {

  var isSelected by remember {
        mutableStateOf(false)
    }
        Text(
            text = "Hello $name!",
            modifier = modifier
                .clickable { isSelected = !isSelected }
                .padding(16.dp)
        )

You can use the combinedClickable modifier to get the different click events:

Text(
    text = text,
    modifier = Modifier
        .combinedClickable(
            onLongClick = { /*....*/ },
            onClick ={ /*....*/ })
        .padding(16.dp)
)

Notice that it is an @ExperimentalFoundationApi feature and is likely to change or be removed in the future.

That's experimental right? This foundation API is experimental and is likely to change or be removed in the future. `@ExperimentalFoundationApi` – TinaTT2 Jul 14 '21 at 06:49

@TinaTT2 Yes, it can change, like many others in the current 1.0.0 – Gabriele Mariotti Jul 14 '21 at 07:29
