SegmentedButton
Jetpack Compose Segmented Button components for single or multi-choice selection.
Segmented buttons let app users choose from a small set of options displayed side by side in a row. They map to the official Jetpack Compose Segmented Button API.
There are two container types:
SingleChoiceSegmentedButtonRow: only one button can be selected at a time (like radio buttons).MultiChoiceSegmentedButtonRow: multiple buttons can be toggled independently (like checkboxes).

Installation
- npx expo install @expo/uiIf you are installing this in an existing React Native app, make sure to install expo in your project.
Usage
Single-choice segmented button
Use SingleChoiceSegmentedButtonRow when only one option can be active at a time. Each SegmentedButton takes selected and onClick props.
import { useState } from 'react'; import { Host, SingleChoiceSegmentedButtonRow, SegmentedButton, Text, } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose'; export default function SingleChoiceExample() { const [selectedIndex, setSelectedIndex] = useState(0); const options = ['Day', 'Week', 'Month', 'Year']; return ( <Host matchContents> <SingleChoiceSegmentedButtonRow> {options.map((label, index) => ( <SegmentedButton key={label} selected={index === selectedIndex} onClick={() => setSelectedIndex(index)}> <SegmentedButton.Label> <Text>{label}</Text> </SegmentedButton.Label> </SegmentedButton> ))} </SingleChoiceSegmentedButtonRow> </Host> ); }
Multi-choice segmented button
Use MultiChoiceSegmentedButtonRow when multiple options can be toggled independently. Each SegmentedButton takes checked and onCheckedChange props.
import { useState } from 'react'; import { Host, MultiChoiceSegmentedButtonRow, SegmentedButton, Text, } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose'; export default function MultiChoiceExample() { const [checkedItems, setCheckedItems] = useState([false, false, false, false]); const options = ['Wi-Fi', 'Bluetooth', 'NFC', 'GPS']; return ( <Host matchContents> <MultiChoiceSegmentedButtonRow> {options.map((label, index) => ( <SegmentedButton key={label} checked={checkedItems[index]} onCheckedChange={checked => { setCheckedItems(prev => { const next = [...prev]; next[index] = checked; return next; }); }}> <SegmentedButton.Label> <Text>{label}</Text> </SegmentedButton.Label> </SegmentedButton> ))} </MultiChoiceSegmentedButtonRow> </Host> ); }
Custom colors
Use the colors prop on SegmentedButton to customize its appearance across active, inactive, and disabled states.
import { useState } from 'react'; import { Host, SingleChoiceSegmentedButtonRow, SegmentedButton, Text, } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose'; export default function CustomColorsExample() { const [selectedIndex, setSelectedIndex] = useState(0); const options = ['$', '$$', '$$$', '$$$$']; return ( <Host matchContents> <SingleChoiceSegmentedButtonRow> {options.map((label, index) => ( <SegmentedButton key={label} selected={index === selectedIndex} onClick={() => setSelectedIndex(index)} colors={{ activeContainerColor: '#6200EE', activeContentColor: '#FFFFFF', }}> <SegmentedButton.Label> <Text>{label}</Text> </SegmentedButton.Label> </SegmentedButton> ))} </SingleChoiceSegmentedButtonRow> </Host> ); }
