What is Badge

In Jetpack Compose, a Badge is a small visual indicator that can be used to display information or a status on top of another element, often in a concise way. Badges are commonly used to represent notifications, counts, or states in a UI.

For example, one might see a badge on a messaging app icon to indicate unread messages, or on a shopping cart to indicate the number of items in the cart.

Usage

To use a Badge in Jetpack Compose, you can utilize the BadgeBox component from the androidx.compose.material3 package. This component allows you to create a badge over another component, such as an icon.

Then Let’s jump into code to check how to implement the BadgeBox in jetpack compose.

Now call this ComposableBadgeView() in your fragment to show the notification icon with count.

Thank you for getting hooked with us in the code. Keep coding. Happy Coding!!!
