The XML SearchView loses focus when you close the keyboard. How can I achieve the same behavior in Compose with a TextField?

[Csaba Kozák]

We do something like this:

val keyboardIsVisible = LocalWindowInsets.current.ime.isVisible
    var keyboardWasVisible by remember {
        mutableStateOf(keyboardIsVisible)
    }

    SideEffect {
        if (!keyboardIsVisible && keyboardWasVisible) {
            LocalFocusManager.current.clearFocus()
        }

        keyboardWasVisible = keyboardIsVisible
    }

You have to setup accompanist-insets for this to work.
