Resolving Clickable Modifier Issues in Android Jetpack Compose

If you're developing an Android application using Jetpack Compose, you might encounter an issue where a clickable modifier doesn't seem to respond as expected. This often occurs when attempting to create a custom clickable component, such as an expandable row for adding new credit card details, and it doesn’t register click events. Here’s how you can troubleshoot and resolve this issue.

Understanding the Problem

In the given scenario, there's a CardSelectionScreen that displays a list of saved credit cards, along with an expandable section for adding a new credit card. The problem arises when the last row meant to function as an "Add New Card" button does not respond to click events, although the other credit card items do. This inconsistency can be quite frustrating, especially when everything appeared to work just fine previously.

Roots of the Issue

1. MutableInteractionSource Not remembered

The most common reason for this issue relates to state management in Composable functions. In Jetpack Compose, when a modifier calls the clickable function, it leverages MutableInteractionSource to maintain feedback on the interaction state. If you fail to wrap MutableInteractionSource with remember, a new instance is created on every recomposition, causing your state, including touch events, to reset.

Here’s the specific line from the original code that needs fixing:

2. Recomposition Dependencies

Whenever your Composable recomposes, it can lead to changes in state if objects are not persisted correctly with remember. This can result in losing previous interactions and ultimately make UI elements non-functional.

Solution Steps

To fix the issue, follow these steps:

Step 1: Use remember with MutableInteractionSource

Ensure that you wrap your MutableInteractionSource in a remember function to persist its state across recompositions. Here’s how you can modify the clickable modifier correctly:

Step 2: Verify Other Modifications

Once you've made this change, it’s a good idea to check other parts of your Composable function to ensure that similar patterns aren’t inadvertently causing issues. Look out for other modifiers or state variables that may induce unnecessary recompositions and adjust them accordingly.

Conclusion

By using remember correctly with MutableInteractionSource, you ensure that your clickable elements retain their interaction states, providing a smooth user experience. This simple adjustment can resolve what might seem like a perplexing issue in your Android Jetpack Compose app.

Now, with this understanding and solution, you should be able to effectively tackle the clickable modifier problems in your UI, allowing users to interact seamlessly with all components, including your custom expandable views! Happy coding!
