I’m facing a strange behavior with focus + keyboard type…
All the TextField are numeric and when I move the focus to the previous TextField, the keyboard type changes very quickly to the alpha numeric and then changes again to the numeric… 😕
Here’s my code:

And here’s the gif:

We recently implemented a PIN entry view like this in Compose and SwiftUI. In the end we side stepped a lot of such issues by making the input part a large, invisible, single text field. The large visual digits merely reflect the content of the single invisible field.

Sounds like a hack, but the result was simple and works perfectly.

How did you fixed it @nglauber or any workaround or hack?

[nglauber]

I didn’t… there’s a issue opened for that 😞

@nglauber I tried the workaround suggested by @darkmoon_uk, put the textfield with size of 0.dp, and made text styled like edittext box. on click of those texts I use focus requestor for the hidden textfield. Its working
