I am trying to understand how focus works in CompseUI. Say I have 4 Textfields and I want the user to enter values then press the action key and move to the next one. Is there any example of what parts of compose UI to use for this?

Haven’t tried this myself, but you could try playing with

Focusable

– maybe wrap each field in a

Focusable

? https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/ui/focus/package-summary#Focusable(androidx.ui.focus.FocusOperator,%20kotlin.Function1)

hmm yeah that's where i have started as well

Ah, there’s a simpler way. You can pass a string identifier to

TextField(focusIdentifier = "…")

. You can then pass that string to

FocusManager.requestFocusById()

. You can get the

FocusManager

by calling

FocusManagerAmbient.current

(must be done outside a callback).

hmm ok so i can use a FocusManager after all

This is actively being worked on. Please expect apis to change and current apis to be maybe a bit incomplete or buggy.
