Fill height for child in Row

Question

I try to achieve this layout but don't really know how:

currently it looks like this:

using this Code:

@Preview(widthDp = 150)
@Composable
fun Item() {
    Card(shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp)) {
        Row {
            Box(Modifier.background(Color.Yellow).weight(1f)) {
                SomeMoreContentWithUnknownHeight()
            }
            Box(Modifier.width(20.dp).height(IntrinsicSize.Max).background(Color.Green))
        }
    }
}

I tried to set the height of the second Box to IntrinsicSize.Max but that didn't change anything. I am currently running Jetpack Compose in Version 1.0.0-beta07

You have to apply Modifier.height(IntrinsicSize.Min) to the Row and the fillMaxHeight() modifier to the 2nd Box.

Something like:

Card(shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp)) {
    Row(
        modifier = Modifier.height(IntrinsicSize.Min) //Intrinsic measurement
    ) {
        Box(
            Modifier
                .background(Color.Yellow)
                .weight(1f)
        ) {
            //Box(Modifier.height(50.dp))
        }

        Box(
            Modifier
                .width(20.dp)
                .fillMaxHeight()  //<--- fill max height
                .background(Color.Green)
        ) {
            //........
        }
    }
}

As explained in the doc:

The Row composable's minIntrinsicHeight will be the maximum minIntrinsicHeight of its children. The Green Box element's minIntrinsicHeight is 0 as it doesn't occupy space if no constraints are given; the Yellow Box minIntrinsicHeight will be that of the content given a specific width. Therefore, the Row element's height constraint will be the max minIntrinsicHeight of the Yellow Box content. The Green Box will then expand its height to the height constraint given by the Row.
