Has anyone faced the problem of keyboard not showing up after focusing a textfield? I'm using an

OutilnedTextField

with

savedInstanceState (<textfield-saver>) { TextFieldValue(state.text) }

Putting app in background an reopening fixes this issue. I'm not sure if I'm doing any wrong or there's a subtle issue in compose

I used BasicTextField, but yeah the soft keybord doesnt show up , so I just click on any keyboard key as it enters 1 letter and then it shows up

I frequently experience the soft keyboard failing to show up, but there is also a new bug in

alpha08

where the textfield won’t receive focus if a composable is on top, i.e. if you’ve created your own placeholder like in JetChat. The workaround is to put your placeholder behind the

BasicTextField

within a

Box

, instead of in front.

I've noticed with

TextField

the keyboard won't show up for me unless I explicitly pass in the KeyboardOptions.

My observation is that, it has something to do with

savedInstanceState

used to store

TextFieldValue

. When I use simple

remember

, this doesn't seem to happen.
