Hi all! I'm showing an `Alert Dialog` when I enter an invalid email address, as I click on Continue button the keyboard is dismissed and `Alert Dialog` is also displayed, but the position of the `Alert Dialog` starts above the center of the screen and moves to the Center as the keyboard is sliding down to be dismissed. How can I always position it to center?

Sounds like you need to forcible dismiss the keyboard before popping up your dialog.  This might work for you:

```val keyboardController = LocalSoftwareKeyboardController.current

Button(onClick = { 
   keyboardController.hide()
   dialogVisible.value = true
}) { ... }```

That’s assuming your “Continue” button is a regular button, but you could easily enough call this from an ime action i would think.  You just have to make sure to get the keyboardController in composable code before using it in a non composable callback.

I forgot I asked the question here on Slack and figured out the same solution, came back to post it here and found the same from you :smile: Thank you for your time <@U5MF219BP>
