On foldable displays, we sometimes want to measure and place content in relation to the hinge position.

We can solve this by providing LayoutCoordinates inside the placement lambda. It won't be available during alignment lines queries, so it must be nullable, but it should be available during regular placement. The use should be something like this:

Layout { measurables, constraints ->

layout(constraints.maxWidth, constraints.maxHeight) {
   if (coordinates != null) {
      val hingeX = findHingeOffset(coordinates)
      val leftOfHinge = measurables[0].measure(Constraints.fixedWidth(hingeX))
      leftOfHinge.place(0, 0)

      val rightOfHinge = measurables[1].measure(Constraints.fixedWidth(coordinates.width - hingeX)
      rightOfHinge.place(hingeX, 0)
   }
}

Marked as fixed.

We have some support in androidx.compose.ui.autofill

Leaving this bug open in case Ralston wants to add more info

I found an example here. One problem is that it only works with the Google autofill service. When using any other service like Microsoft Authenticator or OneKey, the following error is shown:

D/Autofill Status: Autofill popup isn't shown because autofill is not available.
    
    Did you set up autofill?
    1. Go to Settings > System > Languages&input > Advanced > Autofill Service
    2. Pick a service
    
    Did you add an account?
    1. Go to Settings > System > Languages&input > Advanced
    2. Click on the settings icon next to the Autofill Service
    3. Add your account

Is this a bug on your side or do the app developers of these password managers need to change their implementation?
