fillMaxHeight

Functions summary

Modifier
Modifier.fillMaxHeight(fraction: @FloatRange(from = 0.0, to = 1.0) Float)

Have the content fill (possibly only partially) the Constraints.maxHeight of the incoming measurement constraints, by setting the minimum height and the maximum height to be equal to the maximum height multiplied by fraction.

Cmn 
fun Modifier.fillMaxHeight(
    fraction: @FloatRange(from = 0.0, to = 1.0) Float = 1.0f
): Modifier

Have the content fill (possibly only partially) the Constraints.maxHeight of the incoming measurement constraints, by setting the minimum height and the maximum height to be equal to the maximum height multiplied by fraction. Note that, by default, the fraction is 1, so the modifier will make the content fill the whole available height. If the incoming maximum height is Constraints.Infinity this modifier will have no effect.
