android - Jetpack Compose - Column - Gravity center

Question

I'm creating a layout with Jetpack Compose and there is a column. I would like center items inside this column:

 Column(modifier = ExpandedWidth) {
        Text(text = item.title)
        Text(text = item.description)
 }

With 1.0.x you can use these parameters:

• horizontalAlignment = the horizontal gravity of the layout's children.
• verticalArrangement= the vertical arrangement of the layout's children

Something like:

Column(
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center,
        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)
        )
}

If you want only to center horizontally just use:

Column(
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
        horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
) {
    Column (  ) { ... }
