Display text

The most basic way to display text is to use the Text composable with a String as an argument:

@Composable
fun SimpleText() {
    Text("Hello World")
}

The words

Display text from resource

We recommend you use string resources instead of hardcoding Text values, as you can share the same strings with your Android Views as well as preparing your app for internationalization:

@Composable
fun StringResourceText() {
    Text(stringResource(R.string.hello_world))
}
