Hey y'all! Hopefully a quick question, how do you handle dismissing a keyboard on iOS using KMP? On Android, we just press the back button but iOS doesn't have one.

you can use keyboardOptions for TextField

KeyboardOptions(imeAction = ImeAction.Done)

[Josh]

What if you are trying to support multiply lines for a text field?

[Jiri Bruchanov]

is it related ?

I think this is what I am after

[Jiri Bruchanov]

those are insets

[Jiri Bruchanov]

I'm not sure I follow, you asked about hiding the keyboard

[Josh]

See the screenshot on that pr, the keyboard is hiding the buttons of the dialog

[Josh]

if you have a textfield that uses the return/new line action vs next. You could have a textfield get big enough to push the buttons behind the keyboard. On Android, we just push the back button to dismiss the keyboard

[Jiri Bruchanov]

which one ?

for "screen" resizing based on insets for a keyboard for example, there is a flag on swift ui level...

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        ComposeView().ignoresSafeArea(.all) // Compose has own keyboard handler
    }
}

[Jiri Bruchanov]

that ignoresSafeArea is doing the resizing magic...
but what I remember I saw recently some bug related to that

[Josh]

I think I'll just wait until that pr fix is push into the next release as it seems to do what I want

[Jiri Bruchanov]

yeah it might be very well the case...
https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/issues?q=ignoresSafeArea+

there is quite few bugs related to it,
so it's probably better to wait as you said...

[Josh]

Would be nice if iOS just had a back button like android for dismissing keyboard >_<

[Jiri Bruchanov]

can't agree more... 🙂
but that's probably because I'm 90% android user/dev
