How can I close the software keyboard in onClick on a button? I can see we get softwareKeyboardController in onImeActionPerformed but what about other places? I didn’t find an Ambient for this

[Fudge]

I think you need to store it in a “””lateinit””” local variable by using onKeyboardReady or something like that in TextField

[Fudge]

You have a nullable SoftwareKeyboardController? and assign it in the callback you are given

[galex]

That would work only if the imeAction was performed

[Fudge]

no you get the controller earlier

[Fudge]

There are more callbacks in textfield

[galex]

Ah ok!

[Fudge]

It is a dreadful pattern, i wish TextField just returned the controller somehow

[galex]

onTextInputStarted returns it, gotcha

[galex]

Yes this is quite disappointing to have to do that

[galex]

Worked like a charm. thank you @Fudge
