Android Compose - Align center one composable only in Column?

Question

In Compose, you can align center all composables in a Column widget by doing the following:

Column(
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
        horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
) {
        Text(
                text = "First item",
                modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)
        )
        Text(
                text = "Second item",
                modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)
        )
        Text(
                text = "Third item",
                modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)
        )
}

However, what if I only want to center the first composable?

Answer 1

I think this should work for you

Column(
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
        horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
    ) {
        Text(
            text = "First item",
            modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)
        )
        Text(
            text = "Second item",
            modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp).fillMaxWidth()
        )
        Text(
            text = "Third item",
            modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp).fillMaxWidth()
        )
    }
