Android Jetpack compose gradient

Question

Is it possible to draw a gradient over an image drawable using Jetpack Compose?

fun HeroCover() {
    Column {
        val image = +imageResource(R.drawable.edge_of_tomorrow_poster)
        Container(modifier = Height(440.dp) wraps Expanded) {
            Clip(shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp)) {
                DrawImage(image = image)
            }
        }
    }
}

I want to have a translucent gradient drawn on top of the image.

Try this:

Box(
    modifier = Modifier
        .background(
            brush = Brush.verticalGradient(
                colors = listOf(
                    MaterialTheme.colors.primary,
                    MaterialTheme.colors.primaryVariant
                )
            )
        )
) {
    Content()
}
