Is there any way to get the position of the Cursor within a

TextField

? I know about the

selection

of the

TextFieldValue

. But I need the coordinates. As an alternative: Is there any way to scroll to the current Cursor positon within a scrollable

TextField

or one within a scrollable container?

Once you have the character offset of the cursor you can use the

TextLayoutResult

to calculate coordinates.

I have a multiline TextField within a scrollable column which takes approx. 50% height of the screen. When I click on the end of the text the keyboard appears, but the text doesn't scroll to the correct position (and the handle is visible behind other content). I thought this might work as a workaround.

Can you post a recording of this behavior? I think I see what you mean but want to be sure. It's probably a bug, so if you just want to file a bug and post a screen recording there that works

Yes it's a bug. I think it boils down to this issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/192043120

Thanks for reporting. Could you post your code and this video on that issue?

I'll push it somewhere and post the link to the repo 👍

thanks!
