Hello, I have a

TextField

and a

Button

. Upon a click on the button I want to clear the focus from the

TextField

so the keyboard disappears. I'm currently trying

Button(
    onClick = {
        FocusRequester.Default.freeFocus()
    }
)

This crashes the app with

java.lang.IllegalStateException: FocusRequester is not initialized. One reason for this is that you requesting focus changes during composition. Focus requesters should not be made during composition, but should be made in response to some event.

Is there any other way to achieve this?

I'm using this: (on beta1)

val focusManager = LocalFocusManager.current
//...
onClick = { focusManager.clearFocus() })

I saw this too, but used it like

onClick = { LocalFocusManager.current.clearFocus() }

which just gives you an error without message, but declaring the variable outside works I just saw 🙈

The onClick lambda is not @Composable, while LocalFocusManager.current is query Composition Local, which requires a compose context. BTW, this code should not compile… error message: @Composable invocations can only happen from the context of a @Composable function

I got this 😄

Lol, me too, on the IDE, but command line gives the correct one.

Thanks for mention of

CompositionLocal

though, TIL
