How to individually/separately align child composables inside a Row?

Question

I'm new in jetpack compose and I'm trying to do a simple thing that I can't achieve it.

That I want to do is in the same row align one component, in this case a surface, at the start and the other one, the column, at the end of the row.

How can get this?

I'm trying this but it doesn't work:

Row(Modifier.padding(top = 24.dp)
        .fillMaxWidth()) {
        Surface(
            modifier = Modifier.size(70.dp),
            shape = RectangleShape,
            color = MaterialTheme.colors.onSurface.copy(alpha = 0.2f)
        ) {
            // Image goes here
        }

        Column(modifier = Modifier.size(70.dp)) {
            Text("Total",
                fontSize = 12.sp,
                color = AppGreyDark,
                modifier = Modifier.padding(end = 16.dp))

            Text("12,99 €",
                fontSize = 18.sp,
                color = AppBlackDark,
                modifier = Modifier.padding(top = 4.dp))
        }
    }

You can apply in the Row the Arrangement.SpaceBetween.

Row(
    modifier = Modifier
      .padding(top = 24.dp)
      .fillMaxWidth(),
    horizontalArrangement  =  Arrangement.SpaceBetween) {
       Surface()
       Column()
}

Won't work if the surface is wide enough to reach and overflow the column. – Peashooter

if I keep Surface gone, Column is coming to start place. how can I make Column not move from End alignment – Colostomy

what if surface width is too big? (for example it's Text instead of Surface and has long text), how to align it before Column without using Constraints? – Jarred

@MohdQasim You hide the Surface left component based on some condition, right? use the same condition to set the horizontalArrangement prop value horizontalArrangement = if (someCondition) Arrangement.SpaceBetween else Arrangement.End – Zecchino
