Has the default behaviors of ImeActions in Text worked for anyone? Seems it has never worked since compose-dev. Still not working in beta01

[allan.conda]

specifically, ImeAction.Next isn’t going to the next focusable

[Rahul Sainani]

Hey I think you need to request focus from the next text field in onNext of the first text field

val lastNameFocusRequest = remember { FocusRequester() }
                    val focusManager = LocalFocusManager.current

                    TextField(
                        ..
                        keyboardOptions = KeyboardOptions.Default.copy(imeAction = ImeAction.Next),
                        keyboardActions = KeyboardActions(onNext = { lastNameFocusRequest.requestFocus() }),
                        modifier = Modifier.weight(0.33f)
                    )
                    TextField(
                        ...
                        keyboardOptions = KeyboardOptions.Default.copy(imeAction = ImeAction.Done),
                        keyboardActions = KeyboardActions(
                            onDone = {
                                focusManager.clearFocus()
                                currentPage = getNextState(currentPage)
                            }
                        ),
                        modifier = Modifier
                            .weight(0.33f)
                            .focusRequester(lastNameFocusRequest)
                    )

Yeah, I do that. But I shouldn’t have to I think. See this documentation in KeyboardActions

[allan.conda]

thanks for the example btw!

[Rahul Sainani]

Ooh! It didn't work for me without this. How does the system know about the focus traversal order though? Does the parent need to communicate to the system somehow?

[allan.conda]

I can only guess that probably compose is able to traverse through the composable hierarchy and find out the next focus.
But I think it may not be implemented yet…

As far as i understand, automatically focusing the next textfield is not expected behaviour for now, see https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/165676636

[allan.conda]

status is won’t fix, not reproducible. 🤔

[allan.conda]

but good find, it might be a regression

I would just file a new bug, link to the old one if you think it’s a regression.

Tracker link is in the channel topic

Is there any update on this?
