I’m running into an intermittent issue in alpha06 where `TextField`s don’t bring up the keyboard when focused. Has anyone run into this issue? Another issue I have with my TextField in alpha06 is that ImeAction.GO doesn’t seem to be working the same way it was in previous versions.

val focusRequester = FocusRequester()

            TextField(
                value = text,
                onValueChange = viewModel::setEmail,
                label = { Text(text = "What's your email address?") },
                placeholder = { Text(text = "<mailto:[e-mail]|[e-mail]>") },
                keyboardType = KeyboardType.Email,
                modifier = frameFillWidth(60.dp).focusRequester(focusRequester),
                backgroundColor = MaterialTheme.colors.background,
                imeAction = ImeAction.Go,
                onImeActionPerformed = { action, keyboardState ->
                    submit()
                }
            )

            onActive(callback = {
                focusRequester.requestFocus()
            })

Ime action and action performed is regression and fixed (for the next release)

I didn't hear about keyboard not showing up before

[Robert Menke]

Seems to be specifically when I use the focus requester API

Updated my example to show how I’m using focus requester

If I comment out the onActive block I’m able to get the keyboard working but obviously don’t have automatic focus. The issue is also intermittent and seems to happen more frequently when I launch without updating (quicker start up time bc of cache)

Thanks for reporting this Robert

I tried to reproduce, but I don't see the issue. Does this work for you?

@OptIn(ExperimentalFocus::class)
@Composable
fun TextFocusSample() {
    val focusRequester = FocusRequester()
    val textFieldValue = remember { mutableStateOf(TextFieldValue()) }
            TextField(
                value = textFieldValue.value,
                onValueChange = { textFieldValue.value = it },
                modifier = Modifier.focusRequester(focusRequester)
            )
    onActive { focusRequester.requestFocus() }
}

@Ralston Da Silva I added that component to and existing screen and recorded a sample reproducing the issue

textfield_issue.m4v

Device is a pixel 2 on Android 10

I’ve run into the same problem with BaseTextField and focusRequester. But I’m requesting focus with onClick of a container.

Reproducing it isn’t really consistent - keyboard shows up 2 times out of 5, and only restarting the app sometimes works.

I’m running Android 11

I've run into same issue on Pixel 2 XL. Also if keyboard is hidden, and text field has focus, if you tap on the text keyboard does not shop up, you need to tap on the padded area for keyboard to come up
