Do we have to implement the error text ourselves or does `OutlinedTextField` include it somewhere?

You know that you can just jump into the sources of every compose component. There you can see the documentation. Also there is Documentation in the Web: https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/material/package-summary#outlinedtextfield

@Timo Drick Well I did look into the documentation. I’m not talking about the isError or different state colors. I’m talking about the bottom error text that shows up, equivalent to setError for TextInputLayout.

[Timo Drick]

AH ok sorry. I think you have to implement it yourself.

[Arun]

Thought so. Thanks for confirming.

Take a look at https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/[…]les/TextFieldSamples.kt;l=102?q=material%20TextField%20sample

*TextField*WithErrorState and *TextField*WithHelperMessage show you how to include an error and error message
