Set height of child elements equal to highest other element that are contained by Row

is it possible to force a Row to redraw its children to have a height of largest child, when height of children is not fixed?

Row {
    Box {

    }

    Box {
        // second child has larger height, recompose first child to match height of the second child? 
    }
}

I end up with something like: problem

I think it is because Row measures each child individually but I would like first child to be recomposed to match the height of the second one, once second one is added into Row. Is this possible?

You can add Modifier.fillMaxHeight to all child views and limit their height to the largest of them by adding Modifier.height(IntrinsicSize.Max) to the parent view:

Row(
    Modifier
        .padding(10.dp)
        .height(IntrinsicSize.Max)
) {
    Text(
        "First",
        fontSize = 20.sp,
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxHeight()
            .background(Color.Gray)
    )
    Text(
        "Second",
        fontSize = 30.sp,
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxHeight()
            .background(Color.LightGray)
    )
}

Result:
