Hey, I'm seeing a bug when clicking on TextFields in Android. After the first tap, if i dismiss the keyboard and then tap again, the keyboard doesn't come back up. The kicker is that this is a compose multiplatform bug that I'm only seeing on Android. The compose multiplatform GH issue tracker says I should file with Google but I'm not so sure I should do that:

Report it to Google, Compose Multiplatform should be the same as Compose Android in that case

Ideally create a min repro with Compose Android.

@Andrew Watson which version are you using ?

[Andrew Watson]

Compose 1.5.4, Compose plugin 1.5.11

[navczydev]

After dismissing the keyboard, Did you tap again into the field or just moving the cursor back&forth

[Andrew Watson]

A little hard to tell from the video, but I was tapping on it

[navczydev]

Tested on the Compose on Android and its reproducible so its not just multiplatform

[Andrew Watson]

WAT wow, okay

[Andrew Watson]

Can you share a video of what you're seeing? I'm actually quite surprised

[navczydev]

I am using material

[navczydev]

so let me try the foundation

[Andrew Watson]

Not material 3?

[navczydev]

Yes Material3

[Andrew Watson]

Oh interesting, cuz I'm using older material too

[Andrew Watson]

I guess, maybe it's not considered a bug then? Maybe app developers just manually have to open the keyboard in such cases?

[navczydev]

1.2.0-alpha12

Material 3 this version I am using

[navczydev]

Compose-TextField.mp4

Compose-TextField.mp4

[Andrew Watson]

Interesting

[navczydev]

even its reproducible in foundation too

[Andrew Watson]

Well then. I guess I might just have to with what I've got

[dorche]

Can one of you share a minimal code example that reproduces this?

[navczydev]

@Composable
fun SelectableRowDemo(itemLabel: String) {
    var string by remember {
        mutableStateOf("Hello")
    }
    Row(
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxWidth()
            .padding(Dimens.paddingMedium),
    ) {
      //  androidx.compose.material3.TextField(value = string , onValueChange = {string = it} )
        BasicTextField(value = string, onValueChange = {string = it})
    }
}

[Andrew Watson]

Yeah here's mine:

import androidx.compose.material.TextField
@Composable
fun AnyComposable() {
    MaterialTheme {
        Column(
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxSize(),
            horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
        ) {
            val inputVal = remember { mutableStateOf("") }
            TextField(
                modifier = Modifier
                    .fillMaxWidth()
                    .padding(
                        all = 16.dp
                    ),
                value = inputVal.value,
                onValueChange = {
                    inputVal.value = it
                }
            )
        }
    }
}
