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)
 }

```

Answer: 
if you are using `0.1.0-dev09` you can modify the gravity or arrangement attributes by using the parameters `horizontalAlignment` and `verticalArrangement`

```
@Composable
fun centeredColumn() {
    return Column (
        modifier = Modifier.height(100.dp), 
        horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally, 
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center
    ) {
            Image(asset = imageResource(id = R.drawable.ic_emojo_logo_white))
            Text(text = stringResource(id = R.string.login_subtitle))
    }
}

```
To center horizontally

```
Column(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()) {
        Text(text = item.title)
        Text(text = item.description)
 }

```

To center both horizontally and vertically in the parent surface

```
Column(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth().fillMaxHeight(), verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center) {
        Text(text = item.title)
        Text(text = item.description)
 }

```
