Hi, can someone help me?
How can I set the cursor position in a text field? The equivalent of editText.setSelection(position) with the classic android view system.
thanks

This is the code I am using to have an edit text automatically receive the focus when it is added to the screen. I would like to be able to move the cursor from the default position which is 0

val (getText, setText) = remember { mutableStateOf("hello") }
AutofocusEditText(
    text = getText,
    setText = setText
)
    
...

@Composable
private fun AutofocusEditText(
    text: String,
    setText : (String) -> Unit
) {
    val focusState = remember { mutableStateOf(FocusState.Inactive) }
    val focusRequester = FocusRequester()
    val focusModifier = Modifier.focus()
    Row(
        modifier = Modifier.focusObserver { newFocusValue -> focusState.value = newFocusValue }
    ) {
        val focusRequesterModifier =
            Modifier.focusRequester(focusRequester)

        TextField(
            value = text,
            modifier = focusModifier.then(focusRequesterModifier),
            backgroundColor = Color.Transparent,
            onValueChange = setText,
            keyboardOptions = KeyboardOptions.Default.copy(
                imeAction = ImeAction.Done
            ),
            onImeActionPerformed = { action, softKeyboardController ->
                if (action == ImeAction.Done) {
                    softKeyboardController?.hideSoftwareKeyboard()
                }
            }
        )
    }
    onActive {
        focusRequester.requestFocus()
    }
}

There’s override with the TextFieldValue that has a selection in it
