Did u try with keyboardoptions?

[Rizwan]

In compose

[Danish Ansari]

Yes I have already tried it but it doesn’t work. There seems to be no alternative for textNoSuggestions there is parameter called autoCorrect in KeyBoardOptions but it doesn’t seem like it’s what I expected it to be.

Also from the documentation

autoCorrect - informs the keyboard whether to enable auto correct. Only applicable to text based KeyboardTypes such as KeyboardType.Email, KeyboardType.Uri. It will not be applied to KeyboardTypes such as KeyboardType.Number

And I’m using KeyboardType.Number

You can still use xml edittext in compose using androidview

Just for such a simple thing, I don’t want to change my view. But I have found a workaround for now.

var value by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
var oldValueCount by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }

TextField(
    value = value,
    onValueChange = { newValue ->
        if ((newValue.count() - oldValueCount) <= 1) {
            value = newValue
            oldValueCount = newValue.count()
        }
    }
)

With the above workaround, even if the user clicks on suggested text to be pasted from Keyboard, TextField won’t get updated

Great 👍
