How to center (horizontally and vertically) text in Jetpack Compose Text

Question

I have a large Text.

Text(
    text = "Select Bank account",
    color = Color.White,
    fontSize = 18.sp,
    textAlign = TextAlign.Center,
    modifier = Modifier
        .background(Color.Black)
        .fillMaxSize()
        .padding(16.dp)
        .align(Alignment.CenterHorizontally)
)

How to center the text both vertically and horizontally?

In a view-based system, we can achieve this using Gravity.CENTER.
Looking for a similar solution.

Note
Looking for a solution without using another component wrapping the text. (Box, Column, etc).

I am aware that my requirement can be achieved using a wrapper component as shown here.

Answer 1

Put the text in a box and set contentAlignment of the Box to center.

Box(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), contentAlignment = Alignment.Center){
    Text(
        text = "Select Bank account",
        color = Color.White,
        fontSize = 18.sp,
        textAlign = TextAlign.Center,
        modifier = Modifier
            .background(Color.Black)
            .padding(16.dp)
            .align(Alignment.Center)
    )
}

Answer 2

You can achieve this by adding similar xml attribute like "wrap_content" as height in compose too.

Add "wrapContentHeight()" to modifier and you will get it to align to centre of the page.

Text(
        text = "Select Bank account",
        color = Color.White,
        fontSize = 18.sp,
        textAlign = TextAlign.Center,
        modifier = Modifier
            .background(Color.Black)
            .fillMaxSize()
            .wrapContentHeight()
            .padding(16.dp)
    )
